Do you scrap 8.5x11 or 8x10? Are you looking for ideas? Layouts to scraplift? Or just commiserate with other non-conformist scrappers?
Would love to have a place like this to find my scrapping soul mates.
If you agree, just reply to this forum.

I usually stick to square, but I did a swap with Muma and she asked for rectangular and I found it interesting with a different base!
I actually would like (after I finish my son's book) to do a little book with rectangle pages and get it printed.
I have lots of ideas for it but havent made a start yet :(

I usually do square but sometimes if I'm making some kind of gift collage I'll make an 8.5x11. I did recently make one for my ring bearer. Sometimes I make a rectangle version for easy printing of 4x6 minis.

I usually do 8.5x11 - I started paper scrapbooking before 12x12 was really around and just used regular colored paper. I guess I'm just sort of "stuck" on the size!

I like 8x10 even though you can never find any good quick pages for that size (for when I'm being lazy). I've started using 12x12 and it surprises me that you can really fit more into the 12x12 space. I'd still rather use the 8x10, I like being able to print at home, even though my printer doesn't print the true color.....does anyone else have that problem?

So I was in a meeting this morning and saw a really cool design for an 8x10 layout in a Conde Nest publication:

(Just ignore the stuff on the right size and you'll see it's letter size. I think this would be especially good if you have multiple photos of flowers, animals at the zoo, etc.
Just thought I'd share. I'm going to scraplift this soon.

I usually scrap square but I love making 4 x 6 brag books for gifts.
