Today's post is all about titles; crafting nifty and easy titles. A title is a must on a scrapbook page, and to work it needs to complement the layout, not overwhelm it. This can sometimes be a bit  tricky. View a few of the layouts with effective titles and let your brain incubate your own tricky title ideas.

Here are a few of my favorite layouts (all with cool title tricks) that I've seen from Text Tricks eBook co-author Sara Winnick:

Follow the shape of objects on your layout. Easy enough!


Here's a clean and appealing idea. Combine two fonts for your title! Cursive + Serif = Brilliant


Get your letters moving to add energy to the title. And using all lowercase letters gives it a playful and friendly feel.


Now, here are three title looks from Jody Wenke, which are all playful and provide support to the page's theme:

This is another combination of two fonts, which is adorable. That misplaced letter is catchy and cute, and it contradicts the word "seriously," just as Jody intended.


Using objects as letters is not always easy to do, but it is sure adorable when it works out! Keep an eye out for letter forms in the accents in your stash. (An "o" shape is super easy to find, but an "e"? That's quite an accomplishment!)


See? You can use just about anything that has a roundish shape in place of an "o"!

Now it's my turn! These ladies inspired me to get tricky with one of my titles.

note: I repurposed this journaling from blog post onto a scrapbook page, which is a great way to capture your best blog ramblings.
