Scrapbook Quotes
for January to April

Scrapbook Quotes can be a quick and easy way to add some pizzaz to your project, through journaling. You might often find yourselves needing a saying or quote for a particular time of year to give the finishing touches to a scrapbook page. I have split the year into three sections, and this page will cover the first four months of the year.

You will find the others here... May to July | September to December

Scrapbook Quotes for January

A frost-mailed warrior striding a shadowy steed of snow.

And said, "Put on your winter wraps,
And come outdoors to play.""

Until the set of sun.

And we will have such jolly times
Just come along and see.
