Double Trouble, Double Page

I'm learning my way around blogger, and it seems as if it is a trouble for the moment.  I'm definitely a newbie at this!
I will post a double layout which I've just finished and it reminded me of how, when first scrapbooking, I would only create double layouts.  I have not created any for ages.  I had bought post-bound albums and wanted to have a double spread on all of the pages.  I was probably anal about that.  But then things changed and I use D ring albums and almost exclusively create single pages now. 
So, it was a bit of a challenge posted over on Scrappin' Patch's website that kicked in the mojo to play with a double page again.  I'm quite taken with it really.  And I remembered the need for making a double page work - the flow of a line across the two pages using patterned papers;  the repetition of embellishments on both pages and the repeat of the design elements.
As I've said, I like these pages because of the fun element in the pictures.  Usually taking photos of the boys hurts them, although I've yet to figure out how that actually happens.  But on this day, as long as they could act up, then they were willing posers.
I'll try another post to get the double spread up!  Still learning!
