Double Layout

A double layout can make quite an impact in your scrapbook album.

Lately I have been drawn to scrapping double layouts for my albums. I used to find it hard to do these and also a bit daunting, but now I love the extra space and freedom to develop an idea it allows. I have also noticed that scrapping this way helps my album to look much more coordinated. Making two pages on the one subject that link together makes quite a great impact, I believe, especially when you have such cute pictures to work with in the first place :)

In this case, I did use a sketch given to me at a scrapbook retreat I was attending. Unfortunately I do not know the name of the sketch maker, but my pages should give you a good idea of how it originally looked. I loved the idea that I could use four photos together like this and really only had to choose the one I wanted to be a little more prominent.

You can probably see that I used retired Stampin' Up! designer series papers and my Big Shot to emboss a piece of Marina Mist at the top left. I used the Vintage Wallpaper embossing folder for that one.

I used my Stampin' Write markers to colour up the Friends Never Fade stamp for the background. The stitched ribbon was also in my retired stash of Stampin' Up! products.

I actually used a sewing machine along one strip at the bottom of the pages and my scallop edge and scallop trim border punches to make other strips more interesting. The felt flowers, buttons and bling were also in my stash, origin unknown!

If you make a double layout that you would like to share, I would love to see it.
