I've been reading the how do you scrap thread. I don't know if I do 2 page spreads. I always use matching paper and embellishments but may not use a sketch designed for 2 pages and it may not be the same event.
I always start by choosing my photos for 2 pages and then choose my paper then my sketch. The photos may be months apart.

For me it is essentially one giant 12x24 layout that has to be cut into 2 separate 12x12 pieces to fit into my page protectors. So both sides will be connected and they will always have photos/journaling from the same event (or the same story from an event). Usually a paper strip or photos will cross the join so that it is clear that both sides go together.

 My two pagers are always photos from the same event or theme in one big cohesive layout that spans both pages.

The coordinating page is not part of a 2 page spread to me. It is a single page.

for me, a two-page spread is two pages that go together in terms of the event, papers, and photos used.
It might be any of the following:
--two pages that 'read' as one 12x24 spread (two 12x12 pages) with a design that flows from one page to the other
--two pages that 'read' as one 12x18 spread (12x12 + 6x12).
--two coordinating pages where one page is a more 'artsy / designed' 12x12 page and the other page is a divided page protector with photos, papers, elements, etc. that match the 12x12 page.

A "two page layout" to me is a 12x24 page. I design it without the crack in the paper in mind. My photos will sometimes flow over the crack, and always my patterned paper will flow over. It's the same event or theme for photos.
My "one page layouts" are just 12x12, and I never worry about what the page next to it will look like.

Another that sees it as a 12x24 layout - or in my case a 9x18 layout since I scrap 9x9  |

For me, any two LOs that are meant to go side by side and work together to tell one story... A LO and divided protector page, two LOs that are 'one cut in half', or two LOs that coordinate but that don't exactly match each other...

My two page layouts always have photos & journaling relating to one event where the papers and embellishing flow over both pages.

ITA with previous comments - a 12x24 layout, or in my case a 11x17 layout. I don't try to coordinate two one page layouts from different events. It doesn't bother me that they don't match.

I always start by choosing my photos for 2 pages and then choose my paper then my sketch. The photos may be months apart. Usually my two pages are one event, planned together as two separate pages or one double-wide spread. But sometimes I just do it your way. If I don't have enough photos and/or memorabilia for two pages from one set of photos, I will make two pages of separate events, but they need to coordinate visually for me. Same or coordinating papers, colors and/or embellishments. Very, very occasionally, I willl leave a blank facing page with just a sheet of pretty patterned paper in the protector. |

I define a "x-page layout" as a layout that fits into x-number of page protectors, uses the same color palette/supplies/etc., & tells a single story. Facing single page layouts purposely do not use the same supplies to indicate they tell different stories. HTH & happy scrapping!

I've never been a single photo, bunch of arsty stuff kind of scrapper. Don't get me wrong, sometimes my layouts are very elaborate, but for me it is about the photos and the memories! |

The peas seem unanimous on this! I need to go to the how do you scrap thread and say, " I seldom do 2 page layouts in my family scrapbooks but often in my travel books".
I scrap for 11 grandchildren and use mostly 2x3 prints. If I used 4x6 and did 2 page layouts, I'm afraid they might have storage issues when the time comes for them to take their books home.
