Text can add depth to a layout, it gives the picture meaning, tells the viewer why the page is important. So here are a few ideas on using text to get inspired.

Text can add depth to a layout, it gives the picture meaning, tells the viewer why the page is important. So here are a few ideas on using text to get inspired.
The Internet.
- Quotes - You can find poems and titles at scrapbooking sites or just search for quotations in a search engine.
- Message board threads. Clever catch-phrases are great, or maybe a Top 10 list or a Favorites thread.
- Emails. The next time someone sends you an email and you respond to it – take a minute and ask if you’d like your children to know what you think about that story.
- Current Events headlines or Advertisements are meant to grab your attention, so they’ll probably do that on a page too.
Stories.

Off the Wall inspiration.
You just need to write it down when it hits you. Like -
- Something funny your kids say
- A Billboard
- A church bulletin or visual
