What is your favorite format? When I first started scrapbooking, 8 1/2" by 11" was the most popular. So, I have a number of scrapbooks that size. Or course, 12" x 12" is the most popular now. There are also 8" x 8" and 6" x 6". There was even 11" x 14" (that was the one I started for my daughter when she was born - my first one). So, what is your favorite size and why?

I usually do 12x12, since I like to do multi-photos on a layout and embellishments. I do 8x8 for specific events or trips. I also do 6x6 for my family for Christmas gifts. I started that 2 years ago, a way to share that year with them since I live 1600 miles away. They really like getting those instead of just pictures. My first scrapbook was 12x12, I also like all the paper that is available for that size layout.


8x8 album

Same here though I did really like the 6x6's I did for gifts....and the people that got them really liked them too...one was totally not into scrapping so it was a unique gift for her.

I agree with both of you here! lol

The 12x12 is my all time favorite because you can get so many pictures on a page especially if you use a cutting system to make them different shapes....though at christmas I did some 6x6 for gifts. I embellished the pages so all they had to do was put in their pictures....and they are smaller so easier to store and also display.

Yea, my 12 x 12's do take up a lot of room. But I like all the space too.

I have to admit I like the 12x12 as well. I love the large size and the ability to be able to add as much or as little as I feel and the page looks great. The extra space from the 8.5 by 11 is wonderful. I have hand made my mini books or smaller books of various sizes as gifts or to send off overseas etc, but when it comes to preserving my memories of the kids I go BIG.


myLot reputation of 93/100. SukiSmiles (1564)   ranked 2 out of 413 in scrapbooking  12 months ago

I think we all agree. Smaller for gifts, especially those we have to mail. Larger for our own so we can pack in the photos if we want. Thanks for sharing.

I don't do pages but I use scrapbooking papers in my crafting. I found a great deal on some papers but they had a grid on the back and I was paperfolding so I still have a lot of them left. Maybe one of these days I will get around to scrapping.


myLot reputation of 93/100. SukiSmiles (1564)   ranked 2 out of 413 in scrapbooking  9 months ago

Yea, the grid on the back kind of takes away from the design when it's folded. That's too bad. But I bet you can use them on another project or cards if you don't use them for scrapping.

When I started scrapbooking I only did 8 1/2 x 11. Now I'm kind of moving to 12x12. Also depends on the project. I did a 5x7 scrapbook of my grandma's 75th birthday party. She really loves it. I've started to get into 12x12 but I only have one of those and I really need to get working on it. So I'm still up in the air as to what my favorite size is. It may just depend on the project.


myLot reputation of 93/100. SukiSmiles (1564)   ranked 2 out of 413 in scrapbooking  9 months ago

I agree with you. I started with the 8 1/2 x 11 too. And I really fought going to the 12 x 12, but you can't get away from it now. It does fit more photos, which is nice. I like to do smaller size ones for older people. It seems like they can handle it better. My mother-in-law travels with the scrapbook I did for her for the last family reunion - she says it's the perfect size at 8 x 8. She puts it out when she does book signings.
