Yep, I have tips!

In Paperclipping 175-176 Transform Your Albums Into Unified Stories I talk about what I do with awkward backs of layouts in general. I share my general process and I share some examples of different types of layouts that leave you with weird back-sides to deal with. I think you get to see me do something with 2 different types of strange backs (though I don’t think any of them are pocketed pages, you’ll get the idea).
I also have an older episode where I share some design thoughts on dealing with backs of pages made from transparencies. Again, these aren’t pocketed pages, but I always share general concepts so you can apply them to different situations, so these should be helpful. Look for Paperclipping 13 – See Through Layouts.

Great video, thanks! I’m just beginning to use these types of pages interspersed in my regular scrapbooks to shake things up a bit, so I really appreciated the info. What I’m wondering about now is what to do with the back of the divided pages. If the next page in my scrapbook is just a regular 12×12, it looks odd to just have the backs of the photos showing, but sometimes i feel that if I add any design elements to the back, it’s stretching the page beyond the point I want it to go. Any tips? Thanks as always.

Perfect timing!!! I just started my PL type album of our house building project! I have the cover page done…which is just a normal 12×12…and was kind of stuck on how to make the rest interesting and eye pleasing! Your video really helped me!

Hi, Kyrstal! Are you talking about the glare from the PL pages in the 2nd part? You’re right — we don’t usually have many glare problems in our videos. There’s not much we can do to prevent them, though, on the rare occasions that I’m showing something in a page protectors. They’re glossy and no matter how we position the page there is always some glare. But I think the glare moves a bit so you should be able to get a decent view of every pocket and its contents.

Loved this video. I don’t think it’s every video becuase this is the first time I’ve notcied it, but the light in the middle makes it difficult to see the full scope of the video. Very informative and I finally caved and bought PL thanks to this video. So excited!
