That’s right.  It’s really ok to double your layout when you have too many pictures.  But don’t be overwhelmed by the oversized canvas.  It can be a bit intimidating until you’ve tried it a few times.

I like to imagine the end result as one large picture, then I break it down into two halves.  You might want to draw it out as a whole on a scratch pad first.  Next, determine where your dividing line will be.   Be sure to cut your photos at a reasonable spot and take that into consideration when you’re planning your layouts.  Always, always use similar colors and designs elements for both pages to  create balance and connection between the two sides.

Need scrapbooking ideas for arranging a double layout?  Here are a few examples:

Do you ever create a scrapbooking masterpiece worthy of more than average attention?  I have occasionally spent time on a piece of work that, when finished, is such a beautiful object that I don’t want it to get lost among all the other layouts.  Remember these are works of art and are so much more than just a photo or series of photos.

I suggest that when this happens you take it to a printer, have a color copy made in the original size – then frame it and hang it in a special place so that you can enjoy it even more.  Obviously we can’t do this with all of our work – we would need an abundance of wall space and let’s face it, not everything would suit our decor!  But now and then, for that something special…try hanging it up.  You will enjoy having a “feature space” for those one-of-a-kind memories – and you can trade it out anytime you want for a new one!

Cheers and Happy Scrapbooking!
