two page spread

25 years ago

I am fairly new to scrapbooking and I am just discovering how much nicer my book looks if I can do two pages on the same topic or with the same colors. For instance to do two pages of Christmas with the same color theme.What do some of you do when you just can't make your topic into two pages? For instance, the book I am making my mother-in-law, I will be doing a page of her four sisters visiting. I have one photo of them and certainly can't try to stretch that visit into two pages? any ideas for future reference would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Usually when Idont' have enough pics for a 2 page layout I jsut do the one page.....But I do coordiante the colors of the paper; the bg, or any other paper I've used in that layout for the other page as well. That way they pages will look good together even though they are about 2 different set of pictures.

Good luck !!

Or if you really want two pages use one page to talk about each sister or quick family history or what they did on that visit.

You could mount the smile ones on smiley face paper, if possible you could crop them into circles and form a round circle with all of them, on the page. The chair photos sound really cute, and they could be done of a father / daughter page since it is his chair, with pictures of him sitting in it regular, saying something like: No matter how many times I show him, he will never learn, or if he's game get him to pose like she did and say Like father like daughter.

Do you have Hobby Lobby? They may have it. There's also different online stored that may carry it. Do a search. Maybe you'll find something. NancyAnn

White water rafting ideas

I have done 3 seperate rafting trips. The first one, I had to make all myself but then I found a kit from Memory Kits (can't remember the specific title) but it has several large and small big yellow rubber rafts with a variety of other things as well. I found it REALLY hard to get even close to the color of the water but I was able to modify some solid sheets with chalk to give it a nice blend. You can usually find paddles with canoes but there aren't many rafts. Since I finished mine, I have seen some water frosted with a slight glitter but I have not tried that personally. I hope this helps.

Do you have some pics of them when they were younger? Kind of a "Then and Now" spread.

Gee-what great ideas. I don't know that she has pictures of her younger days. Of course, if I would have thought ahead that would have been a great idea. Thanks for the input.

I run in to the same problem all the time. I just keep an envelope and throw miscellaneous pictures in it. Then, when I have an event that only takes one page, I throw the miscellaneous pictures on the facing page. I just make sure that I use the same layouts and colors so that it doesn't clash.
