Double page layouts have been a hot topic of conversation in the scrapbooking world. I've heard some complaints that there is little inspiration out there for those who love to create double page layouts. Today, I'm changing that (a little bit, at least). A few weeks ago I created a double page layout for the Weekly Scrapper blog. For that blog post I created a double page layout with the Cute Girl collection from Crate Paper (a full supply list is at the bottom of this post).
I used two pieces of white cardstock as the base of my layout. I added bits and pieces of patterned paper from the Cute Girl collection to bring continuity across the double page layout.
Not only did I have lots of photos on this layout, I had a lot to say. I added typed journaling under one of the photos. You can see how it all came together in the video tutorial on my YouTube channel.
I love adding pink, flowery, girly embellishments. With two boys in the house I don't always get to have a lot of girly layouts. With photos as cute as these ones, I went all out with the girlyness ;)
Thank you for stopping by today. I appreciate you taking time to visit my blog. Let me know (in the comments) what you think about the double page layout. Are double page layouts something you'd like to see more of in the future?

I don't know how Spring Break came and went SO quickly. During Spring Break we did a major overhaul of my crafting space. I have a few finishing touches to put together and then I'll be ready to share it with you. I think you'll love it!
Today, I have a process video to share with you. I created this layout with two 3 1/2 x 5 photos (one is hidden with the journaling. I've been really trying to make sure all my projects include a lot of journaling. Journaling is SO important! I was recently reminded of this when my kids were looking through their albums and reading the journaling. When they came to a page that didn't have journaling and asked me to tell them about the photo. I realized how important those few words were to them.
Here's the layout I created:
I wanted to create a quilted look with this layout. I used a hexagon punch and my sewing machine to created the background. Because the background was so busy I kept the embellishments to a minimum.
The title is made from Thickers and an embellishment from the Bloom collection.
Here's a peek at the hidden journaling. The journaling isn't really a personal, I just wanted to let the quilted background shine and have an interactive element on the page. Come watch the video and see how this layout comes together.
Also, if you could take a minute to subscribe to my YouTube channel, I would really appreciate it. Have a happy Tuesday!
