5 Tips To Creating Catchy Scrapbook Titles For Your Layouts!
Scrapbook Titles and Why They're Important To Get Right
Titles are one of the biggest factors in setting the tone of your page and also bring the rest of your embellishment together and highlight your theme.
I would get so excited about choosing the right photos and embellishments, but would only give a little thought about the words on my pages Most of my titles were handwritten ones and were located at the top of the page.
Now after making thousands of scrapbook titles and looking at pages that friends have created, I realize that having the right words is just as important as everything else on the page. So if you're new to scrapbooking or just looking for fresh ideas, here are five tips to help you express yourself in words on your pages.

5 amazing tips to creating scrapbook titles
Tip #1. Keep it short silly! (using the K.I.S.S principle)
♥How to not get stuck and be at ease with 10,000 page titles options from our book!
♥How to stop getting stuck on ideas and have fun with the must-have journaling reference for scrappers!
Instead of writing out certain words, I shorten them with hyphens. For example, "birthday" becomes "b-day". I also use actual numbers instead of the spelling of numbers.
Tip #2. Choose a location
Instead, I think about different titles to use, and as I begin my layout with photos, die-cuts, journal writing, and such, I think about the placement of the title. Here are some ideas that I use for my pages:
♥ Use one title for a spread, rather than giving titles for each page.
♥ Place vertical lettering alongside large photos.
♥ If a page contains square matting, then place the title in the bottom outside corner.
♥ For a page with circles and ovals, curve the title around a portion of the largest circle or oval on the page.
♥ When using sticker words or phrases as a title, create a sticker title frame around the center photo.

Tip #3. Consider positioning (the crazier the better!)
Once I decide on the location of a title, I then choose how I want to position the letters. A lot of times if my title is horizontal, I will purposely slant my letters a little to the left or right while keeping my photos straight.
This gives it a fun look and it stops me from feeling as though I need to be a perfectionist and line up each letter just so.
For titles that are in a corner, I'll usually slant it a little. If it's a 4-letter word, such as love, then I'll place the letters in a block form with L-O on top and V-E on the bottom.
Tip #4. Decide on type of material to be used
The choices of material for scrapbooking titles are endless! Here are some ideas that I enjoy using:
♥ Letter rubber stamps of various sizes
♥ Letter die-cuts
♥ Card stock
♥ Patterned scrapbook paper
♥ Letters from a magazine
♥ Foam letters
♥ Sticker letters
♥ Using a pretty font, type a title on a clear label
It is important to give your page titles some texture, that's why foam letters, stickers, and magazine cutouts are my go-to materials for making scrapbook titles as they give an extra layer of dimension to your page.
Tip #5. Add texture (bling it up baby!)
Add sequins to the first letter of the title. If using letter rubber stamps, allow extra space in between each letter. Then use glitter glue and draw squares or circles around each letter.
For a "girly" page, I sometimes will cut a fabric flower to fit around the outside edge of the first and last letter of the title. For a boy's page, I've cut out letters from sandpaper for a fun look and texture.
Tip #6. Have Fun With Your Scrapbook Title Ideas
Experiment with your scrapbooking titles, I tend to try different ideas and try out different titles for my pages and settle for what best fits your page. If you're designing scrapbooking page titles for pages that have flowers, cut out simple leaves. Mat each title letter onto a leaf. If you feel that a page doesn't have a lot of colors, then make a bright bold title or use a different color for each letter.
Designing scrapbook titles is a lot of fun. The more you attempt new and different ideas, the more creative your titles will become. And before you know it, you'll be creating catchy scrapbooking titles one right after another!
