Hello everyone, it’s Sya here, with another post for Words for Wednesday. Hopefully it will be as inspiring to you as it is to me while I was getting ready to write it up.

Anyway, if you are like me, you would find it very hard to come up with titles for your pages. Sometimes, it was so bad that I had to take a break from creating layouts. After all, how many layouts do I have to do to say that my niece and nephew are so uber cute, that I love them so much and I would treasure them for always? That was when I couldn’t help realizing that every pages of mine seem so similar in terms of the titlework and it was really bugging me.

I really thought hard about this and here’s my Top 5 list of things to get inspired by to give your page that little bit of oomph and edge it needed.

1. Books
I am totally a booklover. Whenever I’m not scrapping, I would reach out for some kind of book to read. It’s a nice hobby where I just get to curl up and immerse myself in somebody’s invented world. You can go to the nearest bookstore and browse for titles or just go to any online bookstores.

Here are some title inspiration:
- A Charmed Place: perfect for scrapping those favourite places.
- Laws of Attraction: what attracted you to your other half?
- As I Was Passing: what lessons had you learnt in life… so far?

2. Music
Songs are great inspiration in my life. I listen to songs all the time and I just couldn’t live without it.
Go through your playlist or look up the current music chart and look at the song titles. Granted some of the songs have nothing to do with what you have in mind for the LOs, but take a closer look and you might have a winner in your hand.

Here are some title inspiration:
- Stop & Stare: perfect for those LOs that shows your child being relaxed and staring at something
- With You: declare your love for your other half.
- Here I Stand: perfect for voicing your opinion or your milestones.

3. Quotes
There are countless times when I was stuck with ideas for titles, I would turn to my collection of quotes, collected from all over the web.

Here are some of my favourite quotes:
- “The most precious love occurs without choice, and when you least expect it.” ~Author Unknown
- “Love does not begin and end the way we seem to think it does. Love is a battle, love is a war, love is a growing up.” ~Author Unknown
- A friend is one of the nicest things you can have, and one of the best things you can be. ~Douglas Pagels
- We know we’re getting old when the only thing we want for our birthday is not to be reminded of it. ~Author Unknown

4. TV Shows
Can you imagine a wordplay on Desperate Housewives and turn it into Desperate Scrapwives instead? I remembered seeing a layout using that title and literally laughed out loud.

Here are some other inspirations:
- Crime Scene Investigation: perfect for when your child had done something wrong. It can be used to show a series of events.
- Survivor: used to show how you have survived life’s many obstacles.
- American Idol: change American to something else and the title is perfect for singing-related LOs.

5. Movies
Next time you go out for movies and rent out DVDs, browse the titles and get inspired by them. Don’t spend the watching time itching to get to the the computer though.

Here are some inspirations:
- Pirates of the Caribbean: Change the word ‘Caribbean’ to the place where you’re living and team it up with pirate photos.
- The Chronicles of Narnia: Change the word Narnia to your child’s name or your family name. Perfect for multi-photo LOs where you used photos from various events that happened in your life.
- Sweet Home Alabama: Once again, change the word Alabama to the name of your hometown.

Well, what do you think? Are you inspired? Like I said, these are just SOME inspirations. There are lots more out there.

That’s all from me. Until then, happy scrapping and don’t forget to be creative!
