Have Your Way With Paper

i have about 18 pix of our trip to the park in april.
these are jsut the best ones! i want to scrp them all, but i don't want 12 pages of the same. they're too good to be smaller than 3.5x5.

i don't know what to do. i don't want a separate album either.

im at a loss.....

Paula when Nina was here she looked through the very first album I made of just her. I was surprise how much I used little albums on a page!...I wanted to use as many photos as I could...lol..

If you are interested in some of the designs, let me know.

You don't want to make a mini album out of them?

What about some collages? You can even make a 2-pager with 2 collages (1 collage on each page).

i;m not opposed to making collages at all. but not sure how to make it work?

funny coming from me as i used to be a "pro" at multi photo pages (like 8+)....

if there is one or two you REALLY love, maybe 1 pic 12x12's of those...then the others 4x6 or smaller 2-3 pic 12x12's? Or an album of 11x8.5's? Personally I'd end up with all 12x12's probably...if you love them, scrap them however you'd like!!

oh i'm def scraping all of them. i just don't want 18 12x12's with the same clothes, same bg.....

i could try maybe about 4-5 12x12's. I should be able to spread those around his book fairly easily. ugh! what a problem to have, right??

I add lots of pics by using pockets to put extras in or making little flip booklets slightly larger than the pics with photos back to back(just like a little booklet) and then adhere the last page firmly to your larger 12x12 page. When I'm sure what album it is going in I then take a translucent cutting mat and slip it between the page and the page protector and take a ruler and exacto cutting knife and cut a slit along the page at the spine of the booklet and carefully pull the booklet pages thru to the front of the page protector.

Or you can buy page extender type things that adhere to the edges of your protector that you can add extra photos and items to. You can also buy vertical half page protectors that you can add extras with too. Look in the page protector section at scrapbook.com

What kind of albums do you use? WRMK has the inserts you can put in to add more photos between the pages you traditionally scrap - I LOVE doing that for my extra pics
