So what size page floats your boat?
I cannot resist a good 12" x 12" layout, but rarely indulge in doubles these days.
I take roughly about ONE MILLION photos a year these days ( may be a slight exaggeration - but it feels true!!) and I really had to get a bit picky about which ones I would print and scrap... so I came with the formula of just doing the really special ones, which means that often I don't have a series to scrap, just a special shot or two at the most - hence the single page craze I currently find myself in.
But I don't mind putting togehter a mini album or two here and there either. My favourite size for these are 8" as I can still get plastic sleves for this size. They also mean I can source A4 size cardstocks to use in them - here in OZ, they are considerably cheaper than 12" x 12" cardstocks - BONUS!
On top of that I can use all my little 6.5" paper pads for patterned papers in them.
Whatever size you scrap though, the right chipboard titles and embellishments always make pulling a page together that much easier - here are a few of my recent examples of this theory...
TOUGH GUY - 12" x 12"
I made this layout using the Antiques Collection from Kaisercraft and yellow paint
I used yellow and green ink for adding colour to chipboards.
I used yellow ink on the title and edges of frames.
BEAUTY - 12" x 12"
I designed and printed this background paper myself and used brown ink
with the template and on the chipboards.

8" MINI ALBUM PAGES

Whatever you size you scrap in - the important thing is that you have a great deal of fun doing it!
I hope you are at having as much fun as I am 💚
lots of love from Kel xo
Beautiful pages.. and I am usually a 12 by 12 girl myself..
ReplyDeleteThanks Lizzy xo
DeleteLovely pages. I'm usually a 12" size, but have done quite a few mini albums as well. As for photos would have loved to have more of my kids when they are little that's the difference between film and digital. Although they say now the photos are on the digital camera's are getting deleted to fit more on and eventually people are not going to have photos from the past. Interesting!!! Not for us scrapbookers though.
ReplyDeleteI know exactly what you mean ... more and more I hear of people 'loosing' all their photos ( my idea of a horror story). I have much less photos of my first 3 kids, but i did managed to scrap every last one I'm pretty sure - lol - still I'm secretly very happy knowing I have both physical copies and online copies of them all.... the ultimate benefit to being a scrapper !! <3
DeleteIm more of a 12x12 gal, but have been dabbling into smaller mini albums of late. Love the paper you have designed too. Great pages xxx
ReplyDeleteThanks Crece ... cant wait to see your mini albums - will be keeping y eye out! xo
DeleteI'm normally a 12 x 12 person, but I have done the smaller ones in the past!! Such awesome work, love it all x
ReplyDeleteThanks Tania ... I think it can really be the purpose of page that determines its size for the most part - I give away most smaller albums I make, but I attempt 'art works' on my 12 x 12 pages lol
