Ideas for Using Scrapbook Titles on Your Layouts
Adding wording and verbiage to your scrapbook pages is important and fun and a part of creating scrapbook albums.You might be adding additional paragraphs to your layout or using scrapbooking titles, and you may want to include the name of your photo’s subject or a date and location for some of your photographs. Wording can really make your page come alive and can help you remember times and locations for vacation or other photos, and certainly the add some personalization as well – the name of the pet is often used on pages with their pictures, and baby pages usually have the child’s full name as well. But there are some creative and fun ways you can use scrapbook titles to make them seem as actual elements on the page, not just an addition or afterthought.
For one, a great way to tie a scrapbook together is with scrapbook titles. As an example, if you’re putting together a wedding scrapbook album you might want to use different short phrases or words that pertain to a wedding or to romance, and add these on the same spot on every page in the same font.Your scrapbook pages will have a cohesive look when you use scrapbook titles. You can do this with a vacation scrapbook, graduation album, or with just about any album you create.
Try using scrapbook titles as borders for your photos or borders for your mementos. For example, you can use the phrase “puppy love” for a photo of your dog but put “puppy” above it and “love” below it so that it looks like a frame.This will anchor the photo and helps to draw the eye toward it too.Some scrapbookers use 3 small photographs all taken from the same angle, but one right after the other on their layouts; using scrapbook titles can help tie these photos together.You can use 3 simple words and put one under each page in order to give them a nice flow.
Paying attention to the font and type styles that you use for your scrapbook titles is important as well. Smaller sizes may mean simpler fonts so that you can read the words; save the fancy scrollwork for the larger lettering! Or mix them up – one word fancy, the next plain, the next fancy, and so on. This will give some personality to your scrapbooking page layouts and really help the wording stand out as well.
