Scrapbook My Life

Although I don’t always use a title for my layout, I do think a properly chosen title is a great way to help reinforce the theme of your page. A title can be a single word, a definition, part of a quote, or a snippet from a song lyric. When you embellish your little using alphabet stamps, letter stickers, chipboard, or other decorative treatments, the title can also serve as an interesting accent.

If you’re having trouble coming up with a suitable title for your page layout, I suggest visiting the following sites:

• http://scrapsayings.com/
• http://www.wittyliving.com/crafts/scrapbooking/titles/titles_index.html

When you want to include a title on your page and you’re running out of space, it’s time to get creative. Try highlighting key words in your journaling block with chalk, acrylic paint, or a secondary font choice to make an interesting title. For example, in a layout about your son’s first birthday, you could highlight the words “James is one” to make a functional yet unobtrusive page title.
