Back to back layouts

I wanted to share two layouts that I made with the My Scrap Shoppe September kit.

I actually made them on the same piece of Creative Imaginations die-cut patterned paper, this one on front:



And this one on the back:



A few things to note:

1. I'm not necessarily a chronological scrapper, but I am a chronological layout storer, meaning I store my layouts in chronological order in my albums, so I chose photos to scrap that were taken during the same week (the same month would have worked for me, too, as I'm not that strict about it.)

2. I normally love stitching on my layouts, but back to back layouts do prove to be a challenge for that. I could have gotten creative with the stitching to make it work, but I was feeling lazy, so I just didn't bother.

3. This way, when my layouts are stored in my album, these will be back to back and I won't have to worry about the back of a square 12x12 layout peeking out from behind.

4. When we first took the picture on the second layout, I though for sure that I'd have to scrap a black and white copy of that photo, wondering how I could make the mustard yellow of my friend's shirt coordinate with my purple shirt. Then I saw the Ki Memories Posh patterned paper and knew it would work perfectly. I love it when that happens!
