Hi everyone on the pad,

I'm back from 10 days of vacation and it was wondeful. I was with my husband and my children, we sent to the see and has lots of fun together.
But it's so good to come back with you. And i'm very excited because I will be guest polly... Can't wait...

I've opened this thread because I'm wondering if you have ever change the format of your pages.
Before I went on forums to challenge myself, I used the international A4 format in landscape or portait. Then I discovered forums and challenges and the square format. Sometimes I made double pages.
But today, I've tried again the A4 format in portrait and it is very very fun to scrap in this format.

And you, what is your favorite format ?
 
Mine has become 12x12. I used to do more 8x8 or 11x8.5 even varying sizes. Most templates are 12x12 and it seems most of the layouts in the gallery are as well so scraplifting tends to encourage 12x12. I leave my pages in psd format until I make the final decision in case I want to do a special book of that occasion or something.

I do 10x8 because that's the size I like my books. I don't mind changing templates and adapting scraplifts. It's fun. For AJ I sometimes do square because I want to use the whole pretty paper and it's not going in a normal book with the other LOs anyway so I can change it up.
 
I scrap in 12 x 12 only. I'm thinking of changing some of my AJ pages to 8 x 8 when I go to print them.
 
Welcome back, Gaelle!

Right now I scrap in two sizes: 6x8 (the size of my PL book) and 12x12. I can resize the 12x12 pages to 6x6 and print out to also include in my PL books. I like having different sizes & shapes of pages in my book!
 
I scrap 12x12 and will print 8x8. I have been thinking about trying to do as Lorry does, however, and scrap 8x10, because I could then print at home. We'll see if I ever do that....
 
I scrap 12x12.

I have converted completed 12x12 layouts to 10x8 before for a slideshow and accompanying photo book.

I always keep my layered PSDs so I can change layout size as well as change out photos if I ever need a quick layout!
 
I scrap 12x12 in digi but my paper project life pages vary from that down to 5x7! It usually depends on my idea for the page or what I have on hand to use.
In digi I defintely keep both my layered saved file and ready to prints in folders.
Otherwise I have finally gotten over not using my favorite pieces on a paper page and always will use my favs 1st. (Why do we do that?)
 
I used to be 12 x 12 only, but now I do everything from 12x12 to 6x8. I really love mixing different sizes into my books since I print as I go and mix in my PL.
 
So those of you who are mixing it up are you using a binder or printing through a publisher like shutterfly? I'm thinking maybe I need to change it up especially since I can't always fill up a 12x12 in PL.
 
I use D-ring We are Memory Keepers albums, but Rebecca has done some pretty awesome (and brave!) cutting of pages in her bound albums to include smaller sizes. Let me see if I can find an example...brb.
 
I print some (usually at Persnickety), make various pages, and various sizes of pocket pages. I even add in cards or other pieces that I can hole punch. I have no shame, I want it all. haha!
I usually use a 12x12 binder scrapbook but I have smaller ones as well

When I first discovered Project Life, I got really excited & bought all different configurations of Becky Higgins' 12x12 pocket protectors. And then I realized I just couldn't fill 12x12 pages! So I've had all these 12x12 pocket protectors sitting around for two years. I got this great idea from Amanda (GracieLou) to cut down the 12x12 pages to fit my 6x8 book. One of the 12x12 configurations was four 6x6 squares. I can fit 6x6 scrapbook layouts into them so I cut them down & punch extra holes to fit my 6x8 book.

Does any of that make sense?

I print at home, so I can print any size up to 8.5x11. Anything larger than that I send to Persnickety Prints.
 
Digi I do 12x12. Hybrid I do mostly 8.5x11. If I am doing all paper/ traditional then I will scrap all sizes from mini books to 12x12 double page spreads.
 
I guess it depends on the page and how I feel. Scrap booking seems to have been pretty locked into the 12 by 12 format for a very long time so I kinda got used to that. When I start d doing more AJ I started reformatting to more of an 8.5 x 11 format, which I guess I could print at home, but don't so far. I sometimes resize a template and sometimes just cut part of it out somewhere so changing size increases my template stash.
I love the little ATC size too. In a way they are the most fun for me, so I guess I am all over the place.
 
I haven't changed formats... I moved from paper scrapping so 12x12 was my natural size... I love that size and have stuck to it. I do photobooks.... All my photobooks so far are 12x12...they look nice when they sit together on the shelf, All in the same size :) so I think that's what's it's going to be for me for some time.
 
I mostly scrap 12x12 and print 8x8, but my December Daily albums are all 6x8. I've done a few other sizes here and there. It's fun to mix things up sometimes.
 
I have only ever done 12x12 because that's what I started with way back in my paper scrapping days with Creative Memories. The paper all came in 12x12, so that's what I did. Now I print my books with Shutterfly in 12x12. I have on several occasions thought of doing 8 1/2 x 11 letter sized portrait pages just so I could print at home, but I want my albums all to match, so I just stick with the big square books.
 
I've only scrapped 12 x 12. I flip between singles and doubles. I print in both 12x12 and 8x8, but want to try 10x10. :)

I've made Wedding Guest books that were 8 1/2 x 11, and those turned out nicely. I just seem to stick to square.
 
I scrap 12x12 and print 8x8. I'm also working on a 6x8 pocket page hybrid album from a recent vacation.
