Titles can help to break up the pages and add visual interest. They also tend to drive your point home - is your picture fun and exciting, was the family on vacation, and what other emotions are you trying to convey? You can also use them to tie together different pages of a scrapbook, to remind you of dates and other particulars, and so on. The hard point? Creating titles in not an exact science and you really have to reach in and wake up your artist abilities! Let's look at some simple and quick tips for creating and using scrapbooking titles...
1) Try to make your titles simple and to the point, try not to make they over complicated or too long because they will totally take away from the layout itself
2) One word titles are OK! There's no need to write out everything in the title itself, so consider using just one important word. Then leave the rest for your journaling!
3) To make your title really POP, try putting it on different areas of the page rather than just across the top or in the middle. Also using a combination of alphas, fonts, and elements always draws your attention to the title. Tilt it, scatter it, just have fun with it!!
4) and remember sometimes no title at all works too! If you page is amazing without a title then that's ok too! Remember these are YOUR memories!!
Here is a page I created with a FUN title:
