In all this time scrapping, I've never done it! For those who do...do you work on them both side by side? I don't know why it's freaking me out!

I work on them side-by-side. Actually, I usually create one with the right size and BG paper and then just duplicated it to make the second page and go from there working on them both.

I create it as a 24x12 layout and just split it into two files at the end.

I work it either way. Usually I just do it side by side, but if there's something I need to line up accurately, like a photo or element that crosses the midline, then I'll use a 12x24 canvas and flatten/duplicate/crop it when I'm finished.

I usually just do it side by side like Jennifer said :) Good luck, Amy!

I always use a template for a 2 pager. lol Either one made to be a 2 pager or I just flip a normal template. So I work on them seperately, but both are open so I can compare and make sure its all lined up and such.

I wouldnt even attempt this without one! I always use a template for a 2 pager. lol Either one made to be a 2 pager or I just flip a normal template. So I work on them seperately, but both are open so I can compare and make sure its all lined up and such.

I'm like Jennifer -- I have a full size canvas and work from there. I like to see how it all looks together. Then I split it at the end. I also put a line down the center so I know where the page gets cut (that way if I stick a photo in the center - I can see where it will get cut and make sure no faces or important things go there)

I do the same so I can figure out what may be cut off when I split the layouts into 2. Have fun!

I do it this way as well! Although I've only ever done it twice and the first one was a reverse images of each other, so the only difference in them was the photo. The second was a boy/girl one which I worked on side by side!

I have only made one 2 pager, but I made the first page then I flipped it and worked on the other side. I have a hard time working with such a huge page, to look at both sides at once. Good luck with your page!

I am scared of 2 pagers :D

I only attempted this once, and it was a disaster! I find them so intimidating!
