Do you find you do one more than the other? I'm definitely a multi photo girl. I did a layout last night with one photo and it took me forever to finish. Actually, I may not be done. It looks OK, but I set it aside to look at later to see if I want to add anything. I just feel more comfortable with more photos on a page. I also usually need more than one to tell the story of the page.

I do both. Specifically, I find that I tend to do double page layouts with one picture (usually 5x7 or 6x8) on one page and then multiple photos (4x6) on the facing page. That said, I am in the process of completing a vacation album where I have one photo of certain things, and then multiple photos of others making it necessary to switch back and forth between the multi photo pages and single photo pages. I'm finding it a challenge to get in a groove because of the switching back and forth!

I do about half and half. Many times I find that I just have one good photo of an event, person, or thing. That photo gets scrapped on a page by itself. If I have multiple photos that work together, then I end up with a multi photo page.

More multi photo layouts, especially for vacation albums. But a do s few single photo layouts if I have a particularly special pic to feature.

I do quite a lot of both...it depends on the pictures I have, the supplies I am using (some papers don't work well with a lot of photos) and the story I have to tell (I usually hand write my journalling and there has to be space for the journalling to go). I am a moments and character scrapper for the most part. I don't like scrapping events, holidays or vacations that much (if I scrap those things I scrap moments within them!). I don't do a tonne of summary pages but sometimes I do and those have a number of photos on them. I generally use between 1 and 3 photos.

I like to use my best photos for 1 page layouts; usually enlarged. But most of my pages are multiple photos. Wish I had more good photos! (I just learned how to attach photos from my tablet)

Usually I do two or three photos. Sometimes I only have one photo of the event, so I go with it.
I often find it easier to scrap just one photo. I think that's because I feel like there are only so many ways to fit 2 or 3 photos on the page. With a single photo, I have the whole 12x12 area to play around with. Also, so many pages I might want to use as inspiration have only 1 photo.

Multi photo is my preference, but if I only have one photo of an event then it is a one photo layout. Occasionally, like with pics of my son and the dog I will group several photos from different times on one page.
I am so much a chronological theme scrapper that if something is not in the order it happened I kind of feel like I'm reading a book with a misplaced page telling me something happened before it did. Does that make sense?
My typical page has 4 photos and because I scrap 8.5x11 I usually have 2x3 photos and not many 4x6. Sometimes I take a special photo and print it in 4x6 and then the other related photos are 2x3.

Most of mine end up being multi photo layouts, just because I take a ridiculously large number of photos.
But I have no problem doing single pic layouts. I just fill them up with embellishment crap.

Multiple photos for me. I am mainly an event/historical scrapper. I don't want to leave out anyone, and I need multiple photos to really show different aspects, too.

Multi photo scrapper. I struggle to do layouts with just one photo on it. I'm not a big on journaling either.

I scrap most photos using divided sheet protectors.

Multi photo. The only time I scrap one photo is of I'm taking a class and that's the requirement for that lesson.

I do both. I almost always do 2-page layouts because I'm usually scrapping an event. Sometimes I do a single, special photo in the left side and then do a collage or pocket page on the right side.

Most of my layouts have 2-3 pictures but a lot of them are 3x4 so they match up to the size of a single photo.

Most of my layouts are single photo, but a lot of the photos that I am working with are one of. I am working though a box of photo's that I had printed about 3 years ago, and many are old pictures that I scanned from my childhood.

Since my goal is to get all my photos out of boxes and into albums, I find myself scrapping more multi-picture pages. However, if I only have one picture of an event or it's a particularly special photo, that will get it's own one page treatment. But I definitely have waaay more multi-photo layouts vs single photo layouts! (And I still have sooo many more photo boxes to empty)

For my normal scrapbooks they are multi photo layouts and multi sized photos as well. In mini albums I will do single photos layouts, but still usually multi

Multi-photos, usually. Part of my issue is I have a hard time narrowing down my pictures, so I usually have several great ones I want to use, or need several to help tell the story.

I do a lot of both, but it depends on what I'm focused on. A vacation album has more multi-pic 2 pagers, where just every day LO's are more 1-2 pic single page LO's.

I mostly do multiple photos on 2 page layouts. Vacations or big events I may put 1 photo on left, a pocket page (various styles) and multiple photos on right side page. Lately I've been doing 1-2 photo 1 page layouts. Looking back I wish I'd have done more 1 page layouts than 4-5 photos on a 2-page layout. I am now going back to some of my vacations and printing 1-2 photos of a related theme. I use to think I needed to do only 2 page layouts and I missed recording great moments because of that way of thinking!

Usually several photos on a page. If a layout has only one photo, it's usually because it's a large picture. Most of my photos are not enlargement-worthy, so the big ones are often school portraits, group portraits, or pictures someone else took.

One page, two page, not chronological, some people would probably break out in hives just looking at my scrapbooks. I try to keep it fun so I don't feel any pressure with the hobby.

It depends on what I'm scrapping. Vacations almost always have multiple photos unless it's a particularly special photo or I have a lot of journaling. Most of my heritage and childhood pages only have one photo because often that's all I have.

I tend to do two photos on a single page. But I do plenty of single photos too. I don't take a lot of pictures at events.

Depends upon the story I'm telling and what photos I have. I do seem to gravitate to 2photo single page layouts. Although I just check my traditional layouts from this year and they are almost all single photo single layouts. Usually if it has more than 3 photos of significant size (4x6) I'll try to enlarge one or add another and make a double page.
