I'm curious...
Wednesday, September 24, 2008 at 12:21AM For those who don't scrapbook, just ignore this post. :) For those who do, I'm curious...what size layouts do you do? (specifically...one page or two pagers? 12x12 or 8.5x11 or something else?) Is that the same size you prefer to see in publications? Please comment. :)

I usually only do 12x12's, but I have done other sizes. In seeing what size is published, I don't think it matters because you can alter anything to fit what you want or need.
I do one page LO's 99.9% of the time! And mostly 12x12 but occasionally 8x8.
I like 12x12 and 9x9. I'm thinking of "adopting" the new(er) trend of mixing pages in one book, but not sure I can. I like the idea because some pages just beg for a different size, but I'm one of those people who likes things the same. Hard to leave the comfort zone! :)
I usually only do single page layouts in 12x12 and then I do mini albums. I do sometimes do 6x12 layouts, which are similar in format to two pagers, but those are rare! LOL! I like to do mini albums for the stuff that just needs a different format than the 12x12. That way I can go any direction the project leads me!
I do everything! If I had to choose what I do most often, it would probably be single page 12X12s.
I usually do 12 x 12 single layouts. I am trying to do some smaller ones though, just for interest. I prefer to see 12 x 12 layouts in publications though, that is what attracts me to the magazine. HTH
All of my layouts are 12x12 with the occassional smaller one. I mostly do 2 pagers but some single page layouts too.
I do 12x12's mostly, but I've actually started some smaller art-journal type things in 5x7, and I am really, really enjoying that size. I think I really struggle to fill up a whole 12x12 space in a fresh way each time. It seems like there are only 3 or 4 different ways you can arrange 4x6 photos in a 12x12 space. *laughs* Can you tell I am in a sort of rut? I think what I struggle with publication wise is so many of the 12x12 layouts in mags are 1 photo, and that's just ridiculous. (Much as I love the look, it's just not practical in a lot of ways).
i go back and forth between 12x12 and 8 1/2x11 layouts. i choose to create whatever i think fits the photos and my preferred embellishments the best. i almost always create one-pagers, but i am not against two-pagers...in fact, i have a two-page spread in-progress on my desk right now! :)
in publication, i really like to see a good mix of both one and two-pagers. one-pagers b/c that is what i make the most and two-pagers, b/c they inspire me to make more!! :)
great questions!

I mostly do 12"x12" double page layouts. I have so much stock of papers and albums so I try to do those more. I have done 6"x6" and 8"x8" but it seems I have so much to say and too many pictures that I take that I prefer 12"x12"s.
In regards to seeing it in publications, it really doesn't matter to me, what size they use since I get more ideas out of it.
I do 12 x 12 single pages almost exclusively. For layout ideas that's what I prefer to see in the mags, but that's not to say that I can't be inspired by something cool done on a different size.
Hi Amanda! I'm strictly 12 x12. I need the room!
I do prefer to look at the same. I rarely do a double page spread but have on occasion depending on the amount of pictures.
I'm a 99% of the time 12x12 single page LO gal. And I like to see a variety of pages in publication to stretch my thinking. :)
I always do 12x12 - and mainly 2-page LOs. Love to see those in the mags because I run out of ideas sometimes. I enjoy doing 1-page LOs, but I find I have too many pictures to fit on one page.
I ALWays do 12 x 12 pages, except for mini albums or cards. If I see an 8X12 I love I figure out how to convert to 12 x 12. If I do albums I usually do 4x4, 6x6, 8x8 so I must be most comfortable with square pages.
I always do 12x12 Lo's. Whether it's a one or 2 pager just depends on the pictures I have for that event as I am a chronological scrapper. It doesn't really what is published as the "artsy" style right now can be easily duplicated or reduced as need be.
I do mostly 12" x 12" double page layouts most of the time. Just prefer to use more pictures than fit on single page layouts. It is so nice to see design ideas for 2 page layouts.I rarely do single pages because I can not stand to look at my books and see pages that are not similar in style. For gifts I frequently make 8"x8" albums
I do 8x8 and 8,5x11 layouts. Only single pages.
Lately, I've been doing more 1 page 8.5 x 11 layouts, but I've done lots of 2 page 12 x 12 layouts in the past.
I do mainly 12x12, 2 page layouts -- when I scrapbook for me. But I've been absolutely addicted to "mini scrapbooks" lately -- kits from CArol Wingert & Quick Quotes as well as classes at the local scrapbook store. I like them because I can tell a whole story, don't have to use all my pics, and can get them done in a weekend! I don't know when I made my last 12x12 layout...but I still say I'm a 12x12 scrapper.
