Photo Details

Rosy Shabby Artist Registered: October 2010 Location: Ohio Posts: 1,510	A page about Audrey's birthday party. I'm still finding my groove when it comes to doing two page spreads. Do you scrap as 12x24 and then cut them apart for printing or scrap them as separate 12x12s?

oh I love it! the colours - wonderful! and congratulations, beautiful audrey!
I've only scrapped 12x12 so far but I might change that for the last photo book I got can actually/finally ;-) be opened fully. and looking at your page here (btw straight into my "future-lift-folder", if I may) is another strong argument in favour of doing so.

Such a gorgeous double page spread. I love the journaling around the photos. I might have to scraplift this one, as I usually scrap in a double page format. I find that a double page format is better if your books have lay-flat pages. It helps me get an idea of how the pages look together, and even if the pages don't match, I don't want them to clash.

rosy - this is TOTAL party PERFECTION

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AUDREY!

i looooove everything about this spread! the continuation of the banner and paper strips/ribbons - REALLY gives the two pages a seamless feel! the party looks like a lot of fun...and little audrey is as precious as ever! BRAVO on all of it

as for scrapping two page spreads - i generally scrap the pages separately - BUT, have a 12x24 canvas open and will often move the pages (i do a quick flatten just to easily move a page...and then undo so i can continue working on the layout) onto the 12x24 just to see how they are lining up and looking! did that make ANY sense? sometimes i think i prolly work differently than anyone else on the planet, LOLOL!

however you are doing it...don't stop though - because it WORKS

Thank you, ladies! and SP, you're not any more different than me because that is exactly what I do with my Project Scrap pages!

The flattening is a good tip; I need to remember that. On this one I decided to scrap it as one to continue the elements from one to the other. I'm still not sure which way I prefer! Maybe once I print them, I'll see which look I like best.
