Scrapbooking Supplies - What Are Kinds Of Scrapbook Layouts?

By Christine Jackson

A few scrap bookers like to create an album by doing one page at a time. They'll only do on a page or two at any given time. Then there are people will work on scrap booking two pages at a time. There are a great deal of advantages and disadvantages to doing a one page or two page layouts.

One-page layouts work well for busy scrap bookers. When you do one page at a time, you will have much more time to finish the scrapbook and then have lots of time to clean up. One-page layouts also have a sense of intimacy because the photos are positioned closely together on the page, along with the journaling and embellishments. You'll have an album that's full and complete bursting with color and photos. Because the layout is smaller, this is likewise frequently a simpler choice for beginning layout designers or for crafters who do not have a big workspace to spread out two pages at one time.

Two-page layouts, on the other hand, create an album that is more spacious. If you've a lot of pictures then it will be nearly impossible to put all the photos on one page. You can split them up over multiple layouts; nevertheless, by making a two-page layout, you give the photos a sense of togetherness. You will want to spread out the photos over 3 or 4 pages and carry a theme to each page so that there is a consistent design. Two-page layouts also work well when you have a few pictures that can't be cropped and will therefore not fit onto one page. When you do a larger layout, you'll be able to place everything you would like in the pictures and have lots of room for writing or doodling.

Either way that you scrapbook, you will find down sides. You might not want to use just one of the ways solely. With regards to a one page layout, you will not have to worry about having the paper to coordinate into 2 pages, however, the album may appear to be disconnected from a whole. Meaning, if you have one page of something and one page of a different thing, it simply will not flow. You'll want to select the best options for you so that you can make a fantastic scrapbook. You will discover that when you have some patience, you'll be able to give the photos a good way to display them to ensure that it all look interesting and fun.
