What  album size do you like to use?  I started with 8.5 x 11 and then went to 12 x 12.

12x12 for myself.  I used to give 6x6 for gifts but they seem to have discontinued that size so guess now I will have to do 8x8's for gifts or stop giving gift albums.

I'm like you. I started in 2009 with 8 1/2 X 11, but by 2011, I was doing 12 X 12.

I started with 8.5 x 11 nearly 20 years ago and am still with it.  I briefly tried 12 x 12, but storage of a book that sized turned out to be problematic for me.

My first album was an 8x8 and I had too many photos left over. So I went to a 12x12 and have never made anything smaller.

I did not realize they have discontinued 6x6  but I have not tried to purchase them lately.   I have more so looked for the 8 x 8 for gifts lately. I use to use them for gets too.

I may try that. I love the 12 x 12 to embellish etc.  But it is more economical to get 8 x 11 cover sheets. Do you do a lot of embellishing?

My everyday layouts are 8.5x11 and my vacation layouts are 12x12.  I've actually started buying all my albums in 12x12 size, b/c it makes it looks more uniform and is easy to still throw in my 8.5x11 layouts.

I've never done anything larger than 8 1/2 X 11.  I find the sheet protectors and binders way cheaper than the larger albums so I've never had a desire to change.
