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."
