last year i made one two page layout because darling shimelle asked me to. i actually loved the way it turned out and really meant to do more but didn't. laziness i suppose. what i really liked about it was the whole coordinating but not matching backgrounds. that really worked for me. apparently not enough to repeat the process though. until briana. i can be a wee bit competitive at times and i was in a little scrappy race with bj whilst working on the september jbs mercantile kit. she had made a two pager as she is wont to do and i didn't feel like i could slam dunk her without a two pager of my own. i was actually rather shocked at how easily this one came together. i did the whole unmatched background again and learned another trick. see i've been trying to include more journaling lately and i often run out of real estate there at the end before i get to writing. woaa. add the journaling space as a design element! novel concept! and it works!
see i did it again with my november kit. actually, i did the left side and ran out of room for the journaling i wanted to do. then remembered! wait! i can add another page! which i did. happiness. i just might do it again soon. i like it. :)
LOL, I got a mention : ) I love how your two pager has coordinating but not matchy matchy background pages on the first one shown. Total awesomesauce on your daily! Yes! I said I wasn't going to do one and I started this evening on the base. The first year I did 8 x 8 and like you said, that is mucho worko. I'm doing 6 x 6 this year.
