I’ve been browsing through quite a few online galleries today, and noticed that very few people are still scrapping 2-page 12×12 layouts. I know there are people who still do them, but they seem few and far between. I do admit that I do scrap the occasional 1-page layout, in fact I did this one today, however most of my layouts are 2-pages. I like the look, and quite frankly, I just have a lot of photos. Maybe once I’m no longer scrapping mostly travel layouts, and I’m doing cute child layouts, the allure of the 1-page layout will take hold, or rather the necessity of the 2-page layout will decrease.
1-page layouts do have there bonuses, though. They are easier (and sometimes faster) to do because you do not have to co-ordinate a second page, or consider how to place 7 different photos. This is not always the case, but I’ve generally found that 1-page layouts are easier to design. Of course with the plethora of people doing this type of layout there is also a lot of inspiration. I just wish that they were more folks doing double pages. Sometimes I just need the inspiration. ;)
Supplies used on the layout: all patterned paper is by Fancy Pants, the foam stamps are Making Memories (the corner stamp is from the dingbat collection, the alpha stamps “laying” are misunderstood) and ‘lil Davis (for “chess”). The chipboard letter is also Li’l Davis, and the alpha stamp under the main photo are from Ma Vinci.
