I thought this week I would mix it up a little.
So far I've only been sharing ideas on one-page layouts (that just happens to be what I've been in the mood for and the direction my photos have taken me). However, I go in phases and enjoy 2-page layouts just as much as one-pagers. I've had lots of requests to share 2 page layouts so that's what this week's video + layout focus on.

When creating a 2-page layout I always find it helpful to look at it as a 24x12 format (because I generally scrap 12x12) instead of 2 individual 12x12 pages. This way I am looking at the design as a whole and how I can make the entire design cohesive and flow nicely. I always lay out 2 pieces of 12x12 cardstock side by side (even if I don't end up using the cardstock as the base of my layout) and start adding elements from there.

For today's page I wanted to use larger photos for this birthday layout featuring my youngest son turning 1. All the photos are 3.5x5" with a thin white border. By using a 2-page design I was able to incorporate the larger photos and still have plenty of room for a larger title, patterned paper strips, journaling and embellishment without the page appearing too busy.

By slanting the photos slightly and adding torn pieces of mixtape to the top of each it gives the very linear layout a more fun and playful feel.

This week's CHALLENGE: create a 2-page layout with the size you prefer to scrap: 8.5x11, 12x12, 8x8, etc.

Have fun!

Another wonderful tutorial by the lovely Nichol Magouirk! The little extras on pages that you always include just make the whole page. Love it!
