Why Scrapbookers Use a Double-Page Layout
Many scrapbookers learned to create double-page layouts as the default. This was especially true when post-bound and strap-hinge albums were the primary option, bringing the left and right pages very close to together in the album. It made sense to unify the spread with a double-page layout.
The most popular scrapbook albums today are 3-ring albums with page protectors that offer much more ease and versatility, especially in terms of rearranging single-page or double-page scrapbook layouts. Today there’s no need to scrapbook in order unless you want to.
That flexibility, however, has not dampened the scrapbook community’s love of double-page layouts.
When to Use a Double-Page Scrapbook Layout
The prime benefit of a double-page scrapbook layout is space. There’s room over a two page spread for more photos, more journaling, and more fun scrapbook supplies. Sometimes it’s even easier to design the page because there’s more space for larger 4×6 photos.
A single page scrapbook layout is more common today than it was in the past, but with so many double-page layout ideas there’s always a reason to create in that full double-page style.
As your explore these double-page layout ideas and save some for the future, consider reviewing the options with a goal of selecting one idea to use right away. Let the inspiration move you to action!
Traditional Double-Page Scrapbook Layout Ideas

Digital Double-Page Scrapbook Layout Ideas
Many digital scrapbookers enjoy creating double-page layouts too, especially those who print their pages as a photo book. This selection of digital double-page layout ideas from our creative team features a range of styles, from very traditional “could be paper” pages to modern, minimalist designs.
One thing to notice from these double-page ideas is the ability to include much longer journaling blocks. Traditional scrapbookers can also utilize this space-saving technique with ‘hybrid’ scrapbook layouts, meaning typed journaling with paper scrapbook supplies.
