Biker Chick Jenny Chesnick has been listening to our fans and has a great two page project to share with our Escape Collection. Check out some of her tips below...
On National Scrapbooking Day Little Yellow Bicycle asked what projects our readers would like to see. One of the most popular answers was double page layouts. I think this may be my fifth ever double page spread! For some reason two pagers really intimidate me. So for this spread I decided to look at it as an expanded one pager. I created the one page feel by splitting the die-cut paper in the center of the layout. I then used a 4 inch strip across the two pages to connect them and line my photos. I tucked the smaller decorative edge paper underneath that strip to make it seem longer and add in another color. When I look at the layouts it almost looks like it could be two pages separate. I guess in my mind that made it easier for me to place my titles and embellishments. What are you tips for the perfect two pager? I would love to hear your ideas!

I don't think you need any advice on 2-page LOs! This is awesome! I think what worked the best design-wise was how you had a lot of your elements touching each other to help your eye move around the pages! The colors and patterns are great along with the embellishments you chose! Thanks so much for sharing!!!
