Project Life Rounded Corners

It doesn't bother me to mix rounded and square. There are so many options available that you don't have to stick with rounded corners. You can also purchase her digital kits and only print the card you want to use and cut it square.

It's not something that bothers me so I happily mix square and rounded corners.

It didn't bother me at first...my only completed PL album from 2014 has a mix of both at the start. I dropped the ball on it for months because I don't/can't scrap while pregnant and by the time I got back into it, I really didn't like them anymore. The exception that I made was for a week that included me winning one of the prize drops that Becky did here...I used the partial that I had of the kit I ended up winning (Slate). I also have so many kit cards, that I don't find myself reaching for them ever really. I find that I love the designs, but with the other options I have that have the squared corners, I don't use them much (and if I do use official PL product, it's the square cornered SU stuff). As a result, unless I find something for a bargain that I just can't pass up, I only buy kits from the app now. I can print them myself so they'll have the straight corners that I prefer and I don't have another box of stuff to find a place for. My plan if/when I start to run low on cards (or if I find a place in a Raskog near my desk to keep an odd assortment of cards from various kits to try and use them) is to cut them down and mount them to other cards or cardstock. I also try to avoid the cardstock packs of PL cards unless they are 4x6 because they can easily be cut down to be straight edged 3x4 cards (and the only time I buy these is on super clearance). All that being said, seeing a card or photo from another spread because it's not perfectly the same size as the one on the page I'm working on doesn't bother me in the least. To me, even though my PL spreads are generally coordinated for that week, PL is meant to be a bit more eclectic and that happening just adds to that look to me.

It bothers me. I'm not sure why they thought that was a good idea. Corner rounding was popular 15 or so years ago but not as much any more. I don't mind the mix of rounded and squared on a page. But I do round corners if a rounded card is backed up against a square one so the back doesn't show through. Fortunately I have a corner punch that closely matches. It's not the one PL was selling--that piece of junk only lasted a few months before it literally fell apart.

I used to really love the look of PL rounded corners but now I really don't. I don't like the look of mixing round and square corners either. It surprises me that they've continued to do them with rounded corners actually. BH must either be really committed to that look or get feedback from a lot of customers that they like that look. Maybe people feel like it adds value or makes their pages look fancy without any effort...? I feel like the corners are the last thing I would want people noticing about my pages. Square corners don't draw any attention away from the photos and stories. Rounded corners just feel gimmicky and dated to me now.

It annoys me because if you sell cards with square corners people can easily choose to round them, but you can't really square them back up and keep the cards the right size.

This!

When I started doing PL back in late 2015, I didn't care that I had rounded corners mixed with square corners. But after doing 2016 December Daily with some 6x6 paper pads that I had, none of the corners were rounded and I realized I LOVED that more. So now I do not use any rounded corner cards at all. Unless I can cut the card down to show the middle (image or words) and then I mat it on a square cornered piece. I only have 2 BH core kits, and I do use the cards still; just on 12x12 layouts or on handmade greeting cards.

I wish they would have left them square and then let the consumer make the choice to round or not to round.

Yes, I have a whole drawer of BH PL Cards with the rounded corners and I never use them. I think I will just get rid of them. When I send my daughter a care package I usually grab one and write a note on the back, but I don't need a whole drawer of them.

If you saw my PL style scrapbook pages, you would realize I don't care about many things. My pictures are sometimes sideways, I use cheesy die cuts, I mess up my handwriting and don't use a new card, photos have white borders, other photos do not...

I don't do pocket page scrapbooking but do incorporate cards in my traditional scrapbooking. I don't like rounded corners. If possible I will trim to square the corners.

It bothers me too. When I first started Pocket scrapbooking I tried the rounded cards and did not like them. I am always looking for square corners. If anyone one has some kit suggestions I would be interested. I do like Cocoa Daisy.

In old albums, like really old albums, there were those corners that you had to use to keep the photos on the paper. They were usually black. Can you use those on a layout of it really bothers you if black works for the layout?

It doesn't bother me to mix but BH really should change her product. You can round unrounded corners easily. You can't unrounded a rounded corner.

I used to round corners. Then I all of a sudden didn't want to anymore. I thought it would bother me so I started off this year trimming the rounded corner cards so they were squared, and then mounted them on plain white card stock.

Then that really started to irritate me so now I mix and match, and I'm fine with the results.
