2 page Layouts

I've been making more 2 page layouts than normal lately. It seems I have a lot of photos from this summer, and getting them down to just a few doesn't seem to be working. I always feel like my 2 pagers aren't quite as fancy as my 1 page layouts. Anyone else ever feel like that? Today I thought I'd share 3 of the 2 pagers I've made recently.

Last month we got a dirt bike, mostly for my husband, but the kids like to go for (very slow) rides with him, and I'm learning how to ride it , too (and I haven't hurt myself...yet!). When I have a theme like dirt biking, I like to mix the more themed stickers and papers with "regular" patterned papers that go along with the color scheme.

For this layout, I used Moxxie Racing Burn Rubber paper to form the background base of the layout. Then, to keep it from being all dirt bike, I added pops of color with patterned paper from October Afternoon's 9 to 5 collection. Then, to bring the theme back around, I used some dirt bike and helmet stickers from EK  Success.

Layout # 2 also mixes 2 collections:

We picked up a couple of build your own rockets to make and launch with the kids this summer. They're a lot of fun and go really, really high. This layout commemorates the inaugural launch. I used paper from Pink Paislee's Declaration collection. While it's more of a 4th of July collection, I felt the red, white, and blue theme went quite well with a rocket launch. To make the layout feel more rocket-y (it's totally a word) and less 4th of July-ish, I added stickers and journaling tags from October Afternoon's Rocket Age collection.

My final layout is just a bit of silliness.

My parents picked this up for my kids, and it's a lot of fun... so much fun that, if you look at the very far right picture, you'll see that I just had to get in on the fun too.

The paper is from a gorgeous collection by My Mind's Eye called On the Bright Side. It's fun and funky and really easy to create with.

So that's my tour of 2-page layouts for today. Thanks for stopping by!
