I must be the scrapbook-universe worst title-creator.

I've been working on the cutest LO of my son climbing the stairs, and I'm positively in love with it, but I'm an IDIOT and can't think of a better title than "CLIMB". :blink: :confused: :thumbdown:

Anyone know of a great source for titles, or a gallery of a fabulous title-inventor?? I need the inspiration.

no idea...something about little steps leading to big things maybe? LOL Im kinda title impaired too. Maybe if you posted it you could get some better ideas? I looked in my book with quotes and things and I found "You'll Never Walk Alone" in it...not sure if that will fit the layout though also found "Making Tracks"

I like to browse www.peppermintcreative.com - there is a title/quote section and something usually gets my creative juices flowing.

I also find myself turning to songs or poems and snatching a phrase for titles.

I suck at titles... I must have 10 layouts titled beautiful or beauty or something along those lines.

I go on peppermint creative or scrapbook.com for phrases sometimes

I pick out a line from a song, story, movie, a lot..I use the phrase guide @ PC too but her site is down right now

Girl, me too. I didn't know about the phrase guide at PC, but I'll check it out once she's up and running.

I'm big on "funny" titles, lol...changing the words to a common saying. Or using them in unusual ways. For example, I've got pics of Mason and our dog taking a nap together...I think I titled it "Let Sleeping Dogs (and boys) Lie", lol.

Maybe "Moving Up In The World" would work for your layout?

I like longer titles so I'd probably go with "one step at a time" or something.

Oh that looks like a great link! I didn't know about Peppermint Creative either... I'll have to check that one out too!

I'm usually stuck for titles and I fall back on the word SWEET, way too often! LOL!

I need titles for dummies because I suckaroo at them. Most of the time I end up leaving them off. Thanks so much for sharing the links ladies.

Amanda, I use scrapbook.com all of the time for quotes and poems, but somehow I missed the title section! Thanks for posting that!

Generally I have a list going of pictures I want to scrap. I'll write down their number and then something to remind myself which pictures they are. That note to myself usually ends up being my title.

I used to leave them off all the time, because I struggle with them so much. I've been trying hard to work them into my LOs as of late. Most of the time my titles are lame, but I'm trying LOL

I think my problem is that I've scrapped so many pages I've used every title imaginable lol!

I know I've got lots of repeated titles in my gallery :)

I use 2 peas a lot b/c you can do a search and get lots of different ideas.

I second peasoup! Fabulous resource (though you wouldn't know it from looking at my pages because I too suck with the titles, lol).

My titles tend to be pretty boring and obvious. I wish I was more creative in that area.

Count me in as another who struggles big time with titles! I have checked out a bunch of the links above, they will help me immensely. Not sure if anyone posted this yet, but one place I go for inspiration sometimes is http://www.dmarie.com/default.asp?I=6

They have a place you can look for titles and poems, and they also have a time capsule where you can plug in a birthdate and find out information all about that year. Perfect for the current inspiration challenge!
