Hello Dear Friends, it's Alexandra today. I've recently fallen in love with the 6 x 6 " format. It's easy and fast and since I keep all my pages in a 3-ring binder, these small lay-outs look great amidst the more traditional formats. I've made 6x6 pages to divide different sections in my album, to add a nice quote or "just because". They've become like the sprinkles on a cake, totally optional but so much more fun when they're here and there.
This summer, I've decided it was time I started compiling pictures and memories of all of my girlfriends met thanks to this wonderful hobby into a mini album. The 6x6 format allows me to have no "set structure" and gives me the freedom to begin making pages without worrying where I'll put them away. Maybe I'll keep these pages in a drawer, maybe they'll have a designated album or maybe they'll be part of my 3-ring binder...
I find that the most efficient way to tackle such a project is to make four pages at a time. I chose a 12x12 sheet of kraft cardstock, cut it in four and started ...
First, I made a cover page:
and proceeded to making three others:
To keep a sense of continuity I have used:
Whether you make them to illustrate a theme or one at a time, 6x6 layouts are fun and the perfect creative outlet on a summer day.
