The dreaded first page

Ok, you have your pictures, your memorabilia, and beautiful paper.
Now what?
You sit and look at the blank page and the surrounding implements.
Flip through the pictures.
Walk around.
Talk to friends.

For me the first page is the toughest.
Deciding what will represent this book in the best way can be daunting.
I have some "sisters" who scrap the entire book and then the last page they do is the first page,
that way they have a feel for the book. That could work.

Again, for me I figure titles work best.
I do 2 family albums per year. Title pages are first including the year and volume 1or volume 2.

So query question for today,
"Do you make the first page a title page or do you use pictures right out of the gate?"

  1. I don't usually do a title page. Maybe I should??? That might help me get it going.

  2. How do you typically start your books?
