I am a 12x12 scrapper, and I have tried other sizes but have failed after one layout or so. This is just a fun question.

I'm like you. 12x12 all the way! I have made a couple of 8x8 travel albums and that seems to work, but for every day layouts, I much prefer 12x12.

I do 9x12. 6x8 for special projects. 4x6 and 4x4 for small projects.
12x12 is just too big for me.

6x8 and 6x12 addict here. 4x4 if I'm making an album to give away as a gift which is making me sound like a total lazy cheapskate...  (I promise I'm not) (ok, maybe a little bit lazy) |

From time to time I use different page sizes (5x7, 6x8, 6x12) in travel albums, but I am mostly a 12x12 scrapper.

like Patter, I'm an 8.5x11 scrapper and loving it. I do enjoy 8x8 for special projects though (working on one now) |

12 x 12 for my family albums. I wanted to be able to include 8x10 photos (both horizontal and vertical) so 12x12 gave me that option.
I recently made an 8.5 x 11 album for someone, however, and I found it really difficult. 9x12 or 8x8 sound good to me if I ever want to try a smaller size again.

Well I said 81/2 x 11 but that's not strictly correct. It's mostly A4 and 9x12 - so just a smidge larger.

9x12 and 6x12 for everyday. 6x8 minis.

9x12. I finally found my Project Life stride with this size. I love it! I just wish it was more widely available. I stocked up on scrapbook steals last month but other than that SC is the only place to buy that size.

I scrap 12x12 mainly, with some 6x12 thrown in occasionally in between if I need to add extra photos or journaling... I will also sometimes cut down a 12x12 page protector to 8x12 or 9x12.
I've tried smaller size albums or mini-albums, but I like having a lot of larger (mainly 4x6) pics on my pages, and 12x12 gives me enough real estate to include the photos AND the fun decorating stuff.

All of my albums are 12x12 & hold primarily 12x12 pages with various sizes & configurations included for extra photos &/or memorabilia.

12x12 for most layouts but I use 8x8 for December Daily.

Primarily 12x12. But I started 8.5 X 11, so any photos pre 2000 are in that size.

Mostly 12x12 but when I do a month in review album it is in 8x8 and my Dec daily album is always a smaller format - usually 6x8 or smaller. I'd love to try 9x12 but there's 475 pages of reasons not to go there.

I primarily scrap 12 x 12 but have done December Daily in 8 x 8. This year I'm going to try DD in 6 x 8.

I do 12x12, 8.5x11, and 8x8 regularly, but I have been known to throw together a 6x6.
I mostly do 8.5x11".

For the most part I scrap 12x12. I will throw in random sizes into my albums also. For my kids, my sisters kids, etc I scrap 6x8 or 8x8. I know how hard it is to store bulky albums so I decided a dozen years ago to do the smaller albums for them. If they ever want to have their albums they'd be able to store them on a regular bookshelf. My DS29 sends me pictures, helps me with ephemera, but at this point doesn't want to have his. That may or may not change in the future, and I'm ok with that. I think he just likes knowing I want to continue to document his life. My daughters 17 and 19 are still living at home and college. Their albums are here, too. When they move out I'm sure they'll take them if they have a place to store them. DD19 has one album at school of all the people/pets she loves.
When I was sick in 2013, I made it very clear to my girls that when I'm gone they can go through my albums and keep anything they might want and dispose of the rest. DD19 said she wanted to keep everything...lol. I'm no longer sick, and anticipate being around for many years, but I'm really glad we were able to have that talk (and many others). I have WAY to many completed and in progress albums to expect anyone to keep them all.

I'm a bit scattered. I use a lot of 12x12, but my albums are full of all different page sizes....and I make smaller mini albums for gifts....I just love variety....

right now I'm working in 12x12 and 6x8. I've done others before depending on the subject. I like mini books of all shapes and sizes. Sometime something needs more than just a couple pages in my album but not an entire album to itself. That's when a mini book is born.

I started with 8.5x11 and I came back to it. I did 12x12 from 2001 to about 2010. I still do 12x12 for special albums like my son's hobby album. I may start doing 8.5x11 for that too. In 2010 I started to scrap for each son and not family albums and switched to 8.5x11.
I like 12x12 and 8x8 but I simply cannot store any more 12x12 albums. I have no place to put them. I have albums all over my house. I even have 3 12x12 albums at the base of the stairs.
8x8 and 9x9 are nice compromises but I am not going to start those sizes at this point.
I scrap 8.5 x 11 for the ability to store them on shelves and for the quickness of completing layouts. |

8.5x11 since 2006. I started in 2001 in that size, then did a gift album for the grandparents in 12x12. at the time one of my best friends was a recent CK HOF winner and I think I was too influenced by her...but eventually I realized I work better with the rectangle and I have never been one to use tons of photos. 8.5x11 just fits me  I did order a 9x12 from the steals sale just for shits and giggles. I'll never switch over if SC is the ruler of that domain, but I thought it would be fun to try out. I also have a 6x12 from back in the day that I should fill up. |

I use every size mentioned here. I love switching sizes. I don't do many smaller than 6x6, though, because normally, I don't like them when I'm finished. I don't know which one to vote for!
