My Holiday Festivities, Friends & Fun layout showcases photos and memorabilia from throughout the month of December and was inspired by a layout in the old BPC 2011 Creative Crop workshop. I really like how the strong border across the bottom pulls all these miscellaneous photos together.
This Play, Play, Play layout was also inspired by a sample layout in the old BPC 2011 Creative Crop workshop and records the variety of FUN we had when our great-nephew was here for a week long visit.
This final layout for today holds lots of photos and several blocks of journaling about a ladies' event at our church. Several of my good friends came from out of town to help me out as guest speakers for this event on women mentoring women, and I needed quite a bit of room for journaling along with the photos and event information block I'd cut from the church bulletin.
As you can see, I'm making progress on our 2011 chronological albums. I'll definitely be working on more two page layouts as I continue. Do you create two page layouts? Or do you prefer to capture each story on one single page?
Yes! That border in the Holiday page is fantastic. Just exactly the right touch.
ReplyDeleteI made a double pager for May's class and it has me rethinking how I feel about making them. I can see more in my future
Love your layouts! When I did a lot of 12x12 layouts I always liked double page layouts though now and then I would have to do a single page. Hope you have a great week, Melissa!

Especially in digital, I prefer to create one page layouts... but sometimes a story not only calls for, but actually REQUIRES two or more pages. So I do them when needed.
ReplyDeleteI'm a big fan of the double page spread ... and the Christmas one is fabulous!
ReplyDeleteOh well done!! I rarely do 2 pages, excepting often at Christmas. I did do 2 over the weekend though thanks to some great sketches.
ReplyDeleteI always loved two page layouts, and yours are wonderful. That border is very effective!
ReplyDeleteThat 'holiday and fun'really leapt out for me - you do these two-pagers so well. When I first started scrapbooking, it was all double-page LOs, not now? Not so much.
ReplyDeleteI always make double page spreads. Mostly because I either have a lot of pictures or a lengthy story to tell and need the space. Well done!
ReplyDeleteGreat layouts! I do double page spreads occasionally - probably about one double page per album, but it really depends on what story I need to tell!
ReplyDeleteI love two page layouts and especially the lone as it goes across both pages.
