Find Scrapbooking Titles in Music, Movies and Television
Are you ever stuck for a perfect phrase
for your scrapbooking title? Maybe you just stick with the date or the
seasons like summer or fall. Some scrapbookers title every page with
the name of the subject in the photograph. It might be a place, like
Disney World or the beach, or it could be a person’s name like Susan or
Grandpa. Being creative with scrapbooking titles adds interest to a
page layout just like embellishments and borders. Music, movies and
television can offer inspiration and ideas for your scrapbooking titles
that will capture the mood and theme of your next page layout.
Scrapbooking Titles in Music
Music
inspires us all. How often have you heard a song on the radio and it
immediately brings back a memory from years ago. It might be a song
that was playing when you first dated your husband, or maybe it’s a
song from your high school days that reminds you of your senior year.
Songs have the ability to spark memories in all of us.
For your
next page layout, look to music for your inspiration. Song titles are
great sources for scrapbooking page titles. Quoting a single song title
may be all you need to say to start singing that song in your head.
Some examples of song titles that could be used as scrapbooking page
titles are “Simply Irresistible,” “Brown-eyed Girl,” and “You Are My
sunshine.” Keep a list of possible song titles that would work well on
your scrapbooking projects.
Sometimes it’s the lyrics themselves
that inspire us. You might want to use more than just the title. A
lyric like, “These are the moments and I could not ask for more,” will
add just the right mood to a treasured photograph.
Scrapbooking Titles in Television and Movies
Consider
adapting television show titles like, “The Brady Bunch” and “Days of
Our Lives” to a scrapbook page. Maybe something simple like “Survivor”
or “Lost” says it all. Movie titles, such as, “Mission Impossible,”
“Little Miss Sunshine” or “Back to the Future,” might be perfect for
one of your layouts.
Many TV and movie characters are known for a
certain phrase or saying. These quotes often work well as scrapbooking
titles. Does your favorite TV or movie character have a particular line
that just fits with one of your photographs or scrapbooking pages?
Think of phrases like, “How Sweet It Is,” “May the Force Be With You”
or “Here’s Looking At You, Kid.”
Scrapbooking Titles in Commercials and Advertising
Slogans,
sayings and jingles can all be a source of inspiration for scrapbooking
titles. Those catchy phrases we never seem to forget also make fun
headlines for our scrapbook pages. Scrapbooking titles can be found in
the lyrics of commercial jingles, as well as, in the slogans on print
advertising. The next time you are considering fast forwarding through
the commercials of a taping of your favorite television show, you might
consider listening to the advertisements for scrapbooking title ideas.
There are many slogans that could easily be adapted to a page layout
title. Consider using “I’m Lovin’ It,” or “Zoom, Zoom, Zoom,” or
perhaps, “It’s the Real Thing” or “A Diamond Is Forever.”
Movies,
music and television can inspire a huge list of potential scrapbooking
titles for just about any page layout. The next time you need ideas for
a scrapbook page title just turn on your radio or television for
inspiration.
