I prefer double page layouts simply because I always have a ton of photos to scrap. I'm one of those scrappers that has a really difficult time paring down the photos to put on a page. I also like to turn a page in my album and have both sides be the story. Thanks for a chance to win a great prize!!

I used to do more 2 page LOs, but find myself doing single pages now. I'd love to get some inspiration to use more of my pictures in my pages. Thanks for the chance to win!

I usually do 2 page layouts. It just seems to help an album flow better.

I prefer double page layouts....one, because that's how I was introduced to scrapbooking and two, because I have so many pictures, I need BOTH pages.

I used to do strictly single page layouts but only in the last few months have I become more likely to do a double-page layout. Love the flow of the pages.

I do mostly two page layouts. I still have one child left in high school & he's very involved with his music. Lots of marching band, choir, jazz, band, competitions! I need the space for all the pictures I take.

It really depends on what I'm scrapping or how many photos of an event I have. I would say I do more double page layouts, but definitely also do single pagers.

I usually do 2 page layouts just simply because they are more pleasing to the eye! You don't fell like you have a "leftover" page just dangling there if you have a two page layout!

I usually do two pages I think the reason is that they look better in the album. Usually I have enough pictures to do 2 or 3 double layouts.
Thank you for the chance to win.

Great contest! I've been doing one page layouts lately - but coordinating pages that are across from each other. I think I'm a little intimidated by the idea of two page layouts - a book like this would help! Thanks for the chance to win!

I do double page layouts almost exclusively because I take sooooo many pictures and can almost never fit everything I want on one page! Thanks.

Vickie · 749 weeks ago

That is really hard to answer because it depends on the photos. But the past year I have just been doing single layouts since a lot of blogs just do a single page layout sketch challenge. Thanks for the chance to win :)

Definitely single-page layouts, because double-page has always felt so difficult. Maybe this book would help? :D

It depends on how many pictures I want to use . . . . double spreads accommodate more pics, but I like the flexibility of single LOs too. They're both good and have a purpose!

I prefer double page LO's. I think the scrapbook just flows better when the pages go together. Also, I am "an event" scrapper, so I normally have more that enough photos to fill 2 pages!

I prefer single page layouts! I think double pagers just feel like too much open space for me. The only time I feel comfortable with double pagers is when I use a sketch. Thank you for the awesome giveway!

I have never done a digital two page layout. It would probably be a good thing to try one, and I am sure a book like this would be perfect to get started. thanks for the chance to win!

I make singles only because I feel overwhelmed with double pages...but this book could help. Thanks.

It really depends on how many photos I have. I love when I have enough to spring for the double pagers!
