Titling a Scrapbook Page!

Titles, titles, titles!!!

Before you begin to construct a scrapbook page, you must first choose a theme to base it upon.

The best way, in my opinion, to so this is by collaborating all of your photos that are going to be included in the layout and then determining what characteristics they all share in common.

Whether that common characteristic is a season, holiday, place, experience, ect, it is good to tie all of the pictures located within the same page together in some sort of way.

Once this is established, then the time to create the actual title of the page is at hand.

My suggestion is that after considering the theme of the page, you look back to the photographs for distinguishing points or characteristics that might be helpful in naming the page.

If you are unable to find any inspiration there, go back to the theme of the page, and add a nice, complimentary adjective to it and WALLA—you have a title. Not the most creative way to title a page, but hey-it works.

Another not-so creative approach you might try if you are fresh out of ideas might be a thesaurus or dictionary.

Thesauruses are very helpful in this type of approach because many times you can find an appealing word or set of words that are similar in meaning to more simplistic ones.

If this is a little bit dull to you, you can always try to think of a way to tie the theme in with the pictures and layout with a part of a popular phrase or song.

If you are still unsuccessful after doing so, then try relating the title to an object or activity that is in one of the photos on that particular page.

When it boils down to it, the important composition of a page is definitely the photographs or memories contained therein.

Therefore, you will more then likely have better luck at basing the title of the page around something that relates a little better to the pictures and memories included in the layout then you will while trying to name the page by a more general means.
