Default Probably a stupid question...

I am about 13 LO's done on my first scrapbook. however I have a question!

In page protectors, do you put 2 pages in back to back, or just one in each? I have been putting two back-to-back but I am just wondering what others do?

There's a poll if you don't want to go into loads of detail!

Thanks!

It depends on the type of album. If it's a CM album, I only use one protector to a page because you scrap on both front and back. But if I'm using a top-loading album I put two pages (back to back) in each protector. That's rather confusing. Sorry.

I haven't scrapbooked for a while, but when I did, I put the two pages back to back in each protector.

I also load them back-to-back so that they display as two-page spreads.

As far as "squeezing" them in, not all page protectors are made alike. Some are wider, and those are the ones I use. The last album I picked up had a note that said to trim 12" pages to fit. Um, no. I replaced those with a pack of refill pages from K & Co. that were wide enough to accommodate the full layouts without trimming.

I use We R Memory Keepers albums and page protectors. They are the best quality I have found and there is plenty of room for two layouts back to back which is how I always put them.

Good question. I do a little bit of both. But lately I have found that two different pages works best for me. That way if I need to move a page around in the book, it works well.

I usually put 2 pages back to back unless my page is particularly thick with embellishments, then I'll only put the one page.

Thanks ladies, I thought that would be the consensus but I didn't want to be doing the wrong thing!
