Things like Happy Pawlidays, or Bee-you-tiful? Maybe those aren't actually puns, but that type of word manipulation.
Just curious...

Maybe on a card, but not a layout, too much.

I use them when they fit the person or the situation I am scrapping. Just used a "FaBOOlous" diecut as a title!

They are OK on a card but I don't know if I would use one on a layout.

Sure, why not? Especially if it has something to do with what I'm scrapping.

Yes I like them (on the right layout), and I wish I were clever enough to come up with more of them.

I love them….i send them to my adult kids sometimes, just to be silly and let them know they're on my mind. So it isn’t a stretch for some scrapbook pages to have “play on words” type titles, since they are so much a part of my personality and sense of everyday humor!

Never. It's fine on someone else's layout. On my layouts, correct spelling only. Spelled incorrectly, would bother me until I fixed it.  |

I absolutely love puns for cards but not much for scrapping. I'm not sure why. I guess word play might be Ok, but I rarely use it in my memory keeping projects.

I use them occasionally but more on cards than on a layout.

Not so much “puns” but definitely a play on words is one of my favourite title techniques.

Not so much “puns” but definitely a play on words is one of my favourite title techniques.  I am guilty: I've used "taptitude" (daughter tap dancing with great expressions), "pupparazi" (about dog photography) and "meowsician" (cat on piano) in the past few months. They strike like lightening - either it's obvious to me or DH that the title should be a play on words, or I don't push it. I wouldn't use "bee-you-tiful" on a random page as an excuse to embellish with bees IYKWIM. |
