This was my contribution!
Also, I finally finished the ADP scrapbook that I have been working on for Mitch's State Farm class. I printed up 2 albums (one for each instructor) and, of course, forgot to take pictures before I sent if off with Mitch this morning. I think it turned out great, though! They are 8x8 and feature one page for each agent who participated in the class that Mitch was in. I'm anxious to see what everyone thought.
This little project made me think hard about my album size. I've been using 12x12 albums almost exclusively since I began scrapbooking in 2003. Digital layouts can be printed as 12x12s, however I do not have a wide-format printer. I either have to send them out to be printed (which is very costly) or take them to my local print shop (where I would have to deal with the grumpy old man). While working on the ADP project, I began thinking about printing my layouts in 8x8 and putting them in an 8x8 album. This would typically be a no-brainer for me, however Close To My Heart doesn't sell 8x8 albums, and I LOVE Close To My Heart albums. Argh. Well, I bought an 8x8 album anyway. It is CERTAINLY not as nice at CTMH, however I am still very excited to begin printing my layouts here at home. Wahoo!

Album size is so tricky. I wanted to keep 12x12 because then ALL the albums on my shelf would be the same. Then, I went to CM Picfolio album that is 11x14. I have 6 of those. The more I do, the better they look on my shelf. So, the only option I see for you is to do lots and lots of 8x8s.
ReplyDeleteYou do beautiful work.
Great page! :) I love the Catscrap challenges (and of course the designs), but haven't had a chance to play yet. I print 8x8 for my digi albums, but usually from Costco because ink for my printer gets so expensive. I have several 12x12 albums for paper scrapping that need to be filled too! :)
