Do you only make 12x12 albums? email this discussion to a friend?

Do you only make one size of albums or do you venture out. I have made albums that are 4x4 pocket books, 6x6 mini books, paperbag books and of course 12x12. I am love working with all different sizes and shapes, currently I am starting a board book for my daughter.

I do only make 12x12 albums . This is what I started with as I figured I would be able to add more to my page . I did go out and buy a smaller one to start for one of my girls as it was winnie the pooh and I love pooh bear and thought it would make a cute album for a little girl but haven't touched it yet .

You might find that the smaller albums are easier and a little more fun. One thing I have done with the smaller albums is you can sketch a complete layout on a standard piece of paper. The also accomodate the standard size of photos a better I think.

I am currently working on my first smaller book, an 8x8, and I have found that it's definitely faster, and seems to be more detail-oriented. It is a lot different than the 12x12, which I often found harder to fill the space, especially if I just have two pictures for one giant page!

That is why I like the smaller albums they really work good for the standard sized pictures.

I always do 12x12 albums. Mainly the photos that I am using are 8x10's so I really don't have a choice! A friend of mine just does 8x8's and she feels that it's less expensive to do the smaller books.


myLot reputation of 82/100. ScrappinHappyMom (758)   ranked 14 out of 411 in scrapbooking  3 years ago

I think the 8x8's are close to the same price, but 6x6's are for sure cheaper because you get four sheets out of one piece. Using pictures that are that big you might enjoy some of the layouts at wwww.mytlcusa.com most of the gals there use really big pictures. I have done some with large photos but not to many, I like to use around 5x7 or smaller.


littlebird (8)   ranked 42 out of 411 in scrapbooking  3 years ago

I have found an incredible price on the 12x12 books, if anyone is interested! Ross stores sell these books for $7-$10! Though the selection is limited, they do have some nice books for half the price you'll find them elsewhere.

i make 12x12, aswell as 6x6 (my mickey mouse album) and at the moment i am obssessed with accordian books, as they are nice to give for presents


myLot reputation of 82/100. ScrappinHappyMom (758)   ranked 14 out of 411 in scrapbooking  3 years ago

I love the accordian albums also. I have been thinking about purchasing some from the OT. They have 8x8 tag board albums that come with a box. For around $6. They also have accordian alubms that are shaped like hearts that are cute.

I have done may different sizes but for others, I would have to say 12x12 is my favorite because I can use a lot of photos and I like to do all kind of things with the space.


pelicanmum (16)   ranked 49 out of 411 in scrapbooking  3 years ago

I like to use different sizes for different purposes.
For my general albums I like the 12 x 12 because I can fit so much in and they are really versatile. FOr my faithbook albums, I like to use 7 x 7's. I also use small ones as gifts to people.
Different size albums for different purposes.

I do my layouts all in 12x12 but I do a 5x7 album for my mom, I do circle journals of all sizes and I have done one paper bag album. But most often i do 12x12. I started off in 8.5 x 11 and I have 3 of those.


myLot reputation of 82/100. ScrappinHappyMom (758)   ranked 14 out of 411 in scrapbooking  3 years ago

I first started out in 8.5x11 also. I think it is fun to go back and look them over. I have come so far in my scrapbooking and so have the supplies.

Mostly i do 12x12, but for presents I do 8x8 I made 2 8x8 albums for christmas.
I have also done a 6x6 recipee album.
Here in Norway 6x12 is getting very popular right now. I am wondering If I should try that. It might make a great present album.


myLot reputation of 82/100. ScrappinHappyMom (758)   ranked 14 out of 411 in scrapbooking  3 years ago

I can honestly say I have never seen a 6x12. Do you have any websites that show one? This would be something new to do, it would store on the shelf better and would make an interesting table book of sorts.

I have made all kinds of sizes but my favorite is 12x12 because of the space to put pictures. I have made a great pet scrapbook that is a very unconventional size and I do love that one.

I've invested on 12x12 materials so I guess I'll be doing more 12x12 layouts. Though I wanna try making mini albums too, as according to some scrapbooking friends, they're quite fun to do. I'll also be starting on my son's 8x8 baptismal album very soon.

I make 12x12 albums for myself, but I love to make 6x6 albums for gifts. They are so cute and easy to fill the pages. I usually do a theme. For my moms birthday my sister and I did one that was about all the advice she didn't know she gave us. Each page had a different thing on it.


myLot reputation of 82/100. ScrappinHappyMom (758)   ranked 14 out of 411 in scrapbooking  3 years ago

Oh, I love that idea. I bet she was so happy to get that book.

I usully make 8x10 layouts. Easier to find albums where I'm at. I do venture out sometimes and have made brag books, gift books, etc.
