Titles & Page Toppers

Looking for that perfect title to go with the scrapbook page you are designing? Need a title for a card you are making? How about a quote to go along with that cute picture? Check out these sites for a multitude of ideas.

Title Tips:

1. Keep it simple. If your page is about a special event, a holiday, or a special occasion, consider using the ‘built in’ title that is already inherent in the page. Tell the “where” or the “what” of the layout.
2. Write your journaling first. Often the title comes to me after I write down the thoughts I want to share. Sometimes you can simply repeat one of the sentences of your journaling or take a few key words from what you have written to use as a page title.
3. Explain the page as if you weren’t going to give any other explanation. If you weren’t going to add any other journaling, would your title say exactly what your page is about? Add a title that would make the subject obvious.
4. Imagine your page hanging in an art gallery. What would it be titled? Would it make sense to the viewer?
5. Imagine your page as a book, or a chapter in a book. What would the title be? Would you want to read more based on that title?
6. Ask someone else. You might be surprised at what they come up with!
7. Give it some time. Sometimes, you may just have to put the page away for awhile. Come back to it with a fresh start.
8. Borrow an idea. Look online. Browse title ideas at sites such as blogs,  online galleries etc.
9. Use catch-phrases, song titles, or quotes. You may need to explain the meaning through your journaling though, as others might not catch the reference to a song.
10. Relax and have fun! It’s a scrapbook page, so don’t make yourself miserable trying to come up with the world’s most amazing title.
