Sometimes Scrapbook page titles just happen automatically. You see an image and you know straight away what the title will be.
At other times, you might end up completing the layout and simply getting stuck on ideas for the title.
Not only should the title … well title the idea of the layout …. but it can also form an important part of finishing off your layout with just the right embellishments.
Ideas of What You Can use for Your Scrapbook Page Titles
I often use my titles as my ‘wow-factor' of my page. When done right the title can add to a page and form part of the embellishments for the layout.
Think about whether you need a strong powerful type of title from heavy material such as foam or chipboard, or whether a soft delicate title would suit your layout style better.
