Do you always put a title on your layouts?

I always feel like I need to put a title but sometimes there doesn't seem to be a good place to put one.

titles are always very important to me. It's sort of a "catchword" for my layout - it should briefly and concisely describe my thoughts on it
I try to use the title as another "decorative element" in the layout

No, I don't. I use word art a lot and often don't feel like I need a title, especially on an Art Journaling style page, which I create a lot of.

I do not always put a title on my page either. I may title it when I post it in the gallery, but a lot of my pages do not contain a title. Sometimes the word strip or word art I use is enough to be "my title". The pages are yours so do what makes you happy.

The only time I would say you need to have a title is if you are doing a challenge and one of the requirements calls for a title. Enjoy and make pages you love :)

I think sometimes it is really difficult to find a title, especially when the picture speaks for itself. Unfortunately, I can't think of anything appealing either. I think that's a pity, because on some layouts there are short, concise titles that make you laugh, think or cry.

Usually I title it...sometimes I use the word art to do that. But once in awhile, I let the layout stand on its own!

Titles are the hardest part for me. I do have a title most of the time.
I always feel the need to have one but sometimes my pages are so full of other things that I feel I am squeezing a title in where it will fit.

That is so true! Sometimes I think of a title and realize I have already used that title for another layout. It's hard to always think of something that is creative and goes with the photos.

I love to find word art that fits my layout! It takes the stress out of thinking of a title or repeating myself!

That is a perfect approach--to use it as another decorative element! I do love to find fonts that seem to go with the layout.

I like my pages to speak to the one who is viewing. If I put a title it pushes the viewer to look at it one way. Word art is used if I really want to make a point or if it is required in a challenge.

Depends what you mean by title... I make a lot of double pages and a companion page doesn't always need a title... that said, I usually have some sort of wordart on a page and it could be used as one... sometimes, I would use a title when I post in the gallery, but will delete it when preparing the pages for the album. Same goes for dates - I make yearly albums so I wouldn't need the year on every date and every page...

But I struggle making my own titles - 'September at home' or 'Kids together' can only be used that many times... ha ha..

If I don't put a title on it, then it's like I'm "missing" something. Although I sometimes have trouble finding a good spot on a design.

I know what you mean by reusing titles! One will catch in my brain and I find I'm using it over again!
