Scrapbook Page Ideas & Quotes
The right quote can truly pull your entire scrapbbook page's layout together. A quote not only serves as a title, but you can revolve the entire theme of the scrapbook page or layout around it. It can help you create harmony between the topic and the content. Sometimes a funny or touching scrapbooking quote is all you need to inspire you to search for pictures and memorabilia to feature on the page.

Puns
-
Use a pun to create a funny title for scrapbook layouts on any amusing events or occasions. “Hair today, gone tomorrow” is a good example of a pun that can be used for a scrapbook page showing off someone’s recent haircut. Use before and after pictures to illustrate and try to add a lock of hair to the layout. Play on words for a holiday, such as a Halloween scrapbook layout entitled, “Spook-tacular night,” and feature little ghosts, goblins and other spooks in the embellishments.
Religious
-
Use spiritual quotes, poems or scriptures for your scrapbook titles and page themes. “Behold, children are a gift of the Lord (Psalm 127:3)” is a suitable quote for a new-baby layout. Photos of the newborn and the family welcoming the baby with a gift-wrap-style background paper and ribbon embellishments fit the quote well. Spiritual sentiments, such as, “you reap what you sow,” can be taken literally like in a gardening layout, or can be figuratively fitting for a graduation or some other scrapbook page featuring a personal accomplishment.
Famous Quotes
-
Common quotes found on t-shirts and coffee mugs that muse about life can be an excellent opportunity for those general pictures we love that don’t necessarily depict a specific event or occasion. A great theme for a layout of happy family or friends laughing in photos can be summed up in the quote, “A day without laugher is a day wasted.” On a more humorous note, photos of crazy or disastrous days can proudly be mounted under the title, “I don’t suffer from insanity, I enjoy every minute of it.”
Impact
-
Create an impact on your page layout with short, punchy, one- or two-word sayings. For example, a great photo of your family high school basketball star might simply spell “slammed!” in capital letters across the top of the page. Bold colors and a large photo will intensify the mood the page creates. For a dance recital, or some spontaneous dancing caught on camera, a two-word title like “Twinkle toes” says it all. This can alternately be used for a baby’s first steps or a group of girls painting their toenails.
