I am trying to consolidate the types of albums that I have. I find all those odd-size minis very difficult to store or display. I do: 12x12 layouts (99% single pages) 12x12x pocket pages almost exclusively Design A My December Daily/JYC last year was a 6x8 with a variety of page layouts. I really liked that and I'm doing it again this year. I rarely make cards but I've just discovered Lawn Fawn stamps and they are so cute, my card making might start up again

I scrap 12x12 and 8.5x11, both paper and digital.
I use pocket pages in 12x12, 6x12 and various other sizes I cut down as required. I journal and "mini scrap" in a Moleskine Cahier sized traveller's journal.
I make a lot cards, usually in 4.25x5.5 and 5x5.
I have one 6x8 album but I'm not sure what to do with it so I haven't started it yet!

12x12 pages, single and double page 12x12 pocket pages (started last year)single and double 8x8 30 Days of Thankful last year 6x8 DD last year, non-kit, used my stash and some new supplies.
Have a 6x8 Snap binder waiting for this year's 30 Days.
And I found the 6x8 holiday recipe organizer binder from HL for my 2015 DD. A pea posted about it a while back, sorry, can't remember who, but thanks, 'cause I think it will be perfect!
I had taken a long break from scrapping, but kept my stuff. Deciding to do 30 Days last year got me going again. Guess that's something to be thankful for this year!

12x12 CM albums, mostly with top-loading pages, lots of 2-page layouts 8x8 WRMK albums with pocket pages, just for this past year 5x7 chipboard mini album, a new project for a family fall album 6x9 SS album for a family Christmas album
These small albums are a new concept for me, inspired by Peas, particularly from the DD threads. I'm in the process of going way back to pull pictures of back-to-school, county fair, soccer, Angels baseball games, Halloween, Thanksgiving, to create a display book that I'll pull out and use as decoration every fall.

12x12 PL albums for a monthly PL and for a 3 month travel album...
8x8 albums for scrapbook layouts... Divided between a cat album, day trip/special event album, and a misc/everything else album...
Mini albums of whatever in whatever size/format works for the subject...
A DD, this year in a 5x8-ish repurposed MS binder...
I make cards, but as needed...
Dimensional items as I find a project I like... Right now it's a Tim Holtz Configurations box that I'm doing with a Christmas theme...
I do little bits of everything... I'd say 8x8 is my typical format, I'm months behind in my monthly PL, and I've only started putting together the beginnings of my travel PL...
I seem to enjoy everything to do with the journey of scrapbooking (collecting, organizing, making swatches, etc) more than the destination...lol

I do only 12x12 digital pages now.
Over my 20 years of paper scrappping I had done cards, board books, a couple mini albums, 8x8, 8.5x11.
I really just like to keep things simple, and don't like all the different sizes.
I'm in the middle of converting all my paper 12x12 pages to digital so I can print bound books. I'm trying to downsize as much as possible.

I do 12 x 12 layouts (no PL yet) and cards. I used to do some smaller sized albums, but I like my big albums. I may do more smaller ones to give as gifts.

I make mostly SB layouts. My albums are 12x12-- in them, I have:
-- one-page 12x12 layouts (typically multi-photo) -- two-page 12x12 layouts, travel or event based (either 'traditional' or traditional + pocket pages) -- additional sizes of pocket pages as needed for added photos, usually 6x12
-- occasionally I make month-in-review pages, either standard or pocket pages
My albums are separated into:
1) Places We Go in AZ 2) Places We Go in IL / WI (we travel back there most summers to visit family) 3) Home and Family (which includes the month-in-review pages) 4) me / random
I have both a Hawaii trip 12x12 album and mini-book in the works
I sometimes make cards, but not very often.
When the urge strikes (rarely), I'll work in one of my art journals. (mostly spiral-bound sketch books or pages put into 3-ring binders)

Mostly 12 by 12 layouts unless I'm taking a class that uses a different size, or December Daily which is 9 by 9.

80% of what I do is 8.5x11 scrapbook pages 15% of what I do is 12x12 scrapbook pages 5 % is 8x8 scrapbook pages or other mini album gift for someone.
That's it. I don't do cards, smash or 3D projects, pocket pages or anything else.

I do:
* 12x12 layouts, single and double, sometimes in pocket pages and sometimes one pocket page with one standard page protector * 8.5x11 layouts in vertical and horizontal for my childhood photos * smaller albums for DD. The sizes vary from year to year but I seem to keep coming back to 6x6 and 6x8(ish) * 8x8 for small specific themed projects * 12x12 digi pages which I intend to print in 8x8 photo books when (if?) I ever finish an album * cards when I need one and a few Christmas cards, only for people who "get" my scrapping
ETA I also do 6x12, generally pocket pages cut down from 12x12 page protectors although I do have a few 6x12 page protectors I bought that way. I also have some 10x12 pocket pages that I love.

I'm pretty sure I've made every size. I was going to say I've never done a 6x8, but I found one yesterday. I even have a weird 15x9. Doing different sizes increases creativity. I have done some minis and smash, but not any more, since I didn't like them when I was done
Don't do PL, though. One thing I've learned about sizes: before starting a card, make sure you have an envelope it will fit into!
Also, about cards: I have 12 grandchildren that get birthday cards from me. One is 25. On his last birthday, we were together and I had made a card that his mom really liked and I told him to give it to her if he didn't want to keep it. He told me he had a special place and he kept everything I sent to him. I was pretty shocked!

@elaynef that is very sweet!
i have done a bit of everything over the years but now my scrapping is all 6x8 because the larger books are too difficult for my mom and dad to manage and they love to look at my books. they are both in their 70s.
i make cards in all sizes but my favourite is about 4.5 inch square.
i also like to paint and play in an art journal and that sometimes means any scrap of paper i find.

I've done them all but my favorite is 12x12. It just feels right.
I feel stifled when I do pocket pages even though I would love to do Project Life. I ordered Ali's December Daily kit with the 6x8, I'm wary of how that's going to affect my mojo.
Mini albums are fun - I used to make tons of them but not so much anymore.

I scrap 12 x 12 single and double pages (mostly single) with a few pocket pages thrown in if there's a lot of pictures of a certain occasion. I also Bible journal. I also make cards.

Post by bethquiroz on Oct 19, 2015 18:16:18 GMT
I do the following:
6x6 6x8 in various pocket page formats 8x8 8.5 x 11 (single and double spread) 12 x 12 (single and double spread) various pocket page formats in 6x12, 6x8, 9x12 (wish other companies besides SC made these), and 12x12
I keep all layouts in 12x12 albums, re-punching holes in page protectors as needed. The mix of sizes in one album doesn't bother me.
I use Stacy Julian's Library of Memories format for organizing my layouts/albums. I love the fact that I never have to *finish* an album (finishing projects is a sticking point for me).
I'm not too keen on mini albums (have a hard time finishing them)
I'm just getting into card making and use primarily the 5.5x4.25 size

I do hybrid LO's... Paper, PL & Digital. 12X12. Double LO's 90% of the time. I'm not a traditional PL as far as random pics but I may scrap that style if I feel like it or if I have a lot of pictures for a certain event.
I do more mini albums than anything but I need to get away from this because I have so many.

I also make cards and do art journaling.
I have a mini albums in the works as well.

12x12 almost exclusively 8x8 - for my son's scrapbooks - he is now 22 and I am up to Jr. HS years. 5x7 cards - I generally like this size because it gives me more room to work with

Now I'm doing 12x12 layouts. It's a mix between 1 & 2 pagers. Depends on how many photos and/or related embellishments I have. I used to do 8.5x11, so if I come across a photo from that time period (pre 2004) that I forgot, I will do that size layout. 12x12 pocket pages a la PL I make cards, but have no idea what size they are, lol
