Office Hours | Two Page Layouts

Sometimes a story is just too big for a layout. Whether you want to include multiple photos, a long story or just need more space to try a new technique, sometimes a two page layout is the way to go. We've enlisted a handful of our Creative Team members to take on the challenge of making more two page layouts this year - be sure to follow them for more inspiration!

Maggie Holmes : I used this layout as an opportunity to play around with misting and punches with the idea that I would create more of an artsy page for the left side. Once I got it all finished I decided to not even put any photos on there because I didn't want to cover it all up! I love how it came together!

Maggie Massey : I wanted to scrap all of these photos of my kids fishing on the same project, but one page just wasn't going to cut it. So I made two! Because of the awesome variety in the Office Hours kits I was able to make a cohesive double layout without having the pages look too matchy-matchy.

Natalie Elphinstone : I'm a big believer in including journaling on your layouts. Sometimes it's only a sentence or two, and sometimes it's a whole big story. When I know I've got a LOT to say, a double-page layout is the best option. I keep it simple... put your photos on one side, and leave the title and journaling for the other side! I like that each page could be viewed as an independent layout, but they still fit together to form a cohesive spread in my album.

Tina Aszmus : This was a fun one for me. I pulled the colors from the Ninja Turtle in the small photo. I think it helps bring focus to the message I'm trying to convey in this 2 page layout. Because I'm using 2 different pieces of patterned paper, I like tie them together by adding in the opposite color on each page.

This month's guest designer, Pam Baldwin, is a bit of a two page superstar. Here's a look at the three beautiful two page layouts you can find in her guest gallery!
