Ideas for last page of the scrapbook.

Hi,
I've finally finishing my first scrapbook ever. It's for a friend of a friend of a friend (3 friends removed), who was looking for someone to help her on a project and willing to pay for it. We agreed on $7/page ( since it was my first) plus supplies.
To say I was naive is an understatement. It has taken more time, money, and has been more challenging than I ever expected.
Thirty-seven pages later and I'm at a loss of how to end the last page of the scrapbook. I want it to end nicely. There are no more photos but I don't want to leave it blank.
In the frame on the scrapbook cover are her initials and the title "The Early Years". The book chronicles significant people and events in her life from birth to 30ish.
I don't want to be presumptuous that there will be a part two, so I can't end with "To be Continued...". I've seen some layouts using left over scraps, which I think looks very cool and sums ups all the pretty papers, but not a title . Anyone have other ideas.

Bless your heart!
I'm so exhausted reading this post. I know you worked so hard and it such an accomplishment. If you do it again, charge Materials x 3.

Perhaps you can collaborate with the owner as to how it should end?

Thank you for your thoughts. Sorry my post was so long. It's been such a journey, but well worth it. Just hope that the owner thinks so.

On several occasions I have done a search for a particular sheet music and ended my book with the sheet music all scrapped and decorated.

For my Italy book I located and printed the sheet music to That's Amore and put things about Italy on it around the edges.

Isn't there a song called, "The Best is Yet to Come?"

Seems to me the perfect place for a full page ad for your new business.
"This album professionally created by Trwmss1". Create a nice logo and find an easier name to pronounce.

That is a great idea. Thank you Henry Jean.

I like the suggestion for advertisement. There is a CD pocket that I could a promo into. Thanks don1.

No, your post was not too long! It was fine!! I was tired thinking of you doing those 37 pages. I'm so sorry if you took me wrong. I would never want to offend you.
What you did was amazing!

I agree with Donna that if you can't come up with an idea, ask the owner how she would like it to end, that way she might leave it open-ended for another job for you, provided you would want it.

Henri - How about "Is that all there is?" by Peggy Lee?

Pity you dont have any photos left over you could have done a collage with them.

I know! I kicked myself for not thinking of copying key photos to use in a collage at the end.

I had forgotten about "Is That All There Is" - but wasn't that song depressing? I'm trying to remember it.

There is also "My Way" which is good. Or even something like "Impossible Dream".

Oh Joanie - you asked if I had been a history teacher. Hardly even passed history - hated it and have never taught anything other than real estate training. Never a teacher.

A friend of mine did a very simple last page with predominant text that simply read, "The Beginning..." It was for a wedding scrapbook, so very fitting, but I think it would work for any scrapbook project.

I like that Darla - I ended our wedding pages with a blank page and a die cut that simply said, "Let the Honeymoon Begin."

I think the last page could be a mosaic of scraps, or a nice patterned paper with her name or initials on it.

I like Frau's idea. You could make her monogram using scraps of the paper you used in the book.

I thank you all for your responses. I took your advice and asked for a title for the last page and she responded (without prompting "...and the best is yet to come".
Thanks again.

Yaaay! Thanks for letting us know the outcome! There were a lot of wonderful suggestions.

First, Congratulations on your achievement! It sounds wonderful!!!

As a former marketing executive, I can't agree with Don1 more. You really should put something on either the last page, or inside cover, with some sort of "created by" info. Even if this is your only commissioned work, give yourself credit.

Again, Congrats.

Hi All,
I wanted to let you know that I successfully completed the sale of my first scrapbook today. She was so please that she was moved to tears. She kept touching every page like they were gold. I was very happy to have made her happy. There is great satisfaction in bringing memories to life on a page. To top it off, she was so happy that she added a $25 tip. Thank you to everyone who gave feedback and to everyone who posts their "how to's" and share their layouts and of course, thanks for the classes. I've learned a great deal here at scrapbook.com. Thank you all for your willingness to share your time and talents with us newbies. If the owner gives me permission to share pictures of her layouts I will. Right now, I'm on cloud nine and I itching for a new project.

Congratulations!! You should be very proud.

Your post just made my day! I'm so glad that your customer was so happy. Having resources at your fingertips definitely helps. I know it helped ME! Congratulations and I hope you have continued success with preserving those memories!

Thank you for letting us know! I hope she will let you post some pictures!

Congratulations for making a book that is such a big success! I would feel good about it too!

Start by building a catalog of pages. If allowed show completed pages, if not you can erase the photos and show the design.
Watch the social pages.
Give everybody your business card.
Visit every bridal shop in town.
Visit funeral homes.

Wow. Never thought of any of those ideas. Thanks for sharing.
