I enjoy the challenge of using both  different sized albums as well as different sized page protectors.  As my scrapbooking style has developed, I have enjoyed playing around with using multiple different sized page protectors, photos and ephemera in my albums.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" src=\"http:\/\/amyalphin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_20200929_142007-2-600x450.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2293\" srcset=\"http:\/\/amyalphin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_20200929_142007-2-600x450.jpg 600w, http:\/\/amyalphin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_20200929_142007-2-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/amyalphin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_20200929_142007-2-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>My December Daily albums are usually my most &#8220;crafty&#8221; albums of the year, and are often a place I used to try out new ideas for layouts.  In my 2019 I experimented with size more than I ever, and had a lot of fun with it.  I used a 6&#215;8 album, but also played around liberally with 3&#215;8 shipping-style tags, using cards outside the page protectors, and creating my own pockets to hold ephemera.  I like that they added a lot of visual interest without adding much bulk, which is often a problem I have with this project!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" src=\"http:\/\/amyalphin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_20200929_142103-3-600x450.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2278\" srcset=\"http:\/\/amyalphin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_20200929_142103-3-600x450.jpg 600w, http:\/\/amyalphin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_20200929_142103-3-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/amyalphin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_20200929_142103-3-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"450\" height=\"600\" src=\"http:\/\/amyalphin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_20200929_142113-2-450x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2279\" srcset=\"http:\/\/amyalphin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_20200929_142113-2-450x600.jpg 450w, http:\/\/amyalphin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_20200929_142113-2-225x300.jpg 225w, http:\/\/amyalphin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_20200929_142113-2-768x1024.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-1 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" src=\"http:\/\/amyalphin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_20200929_142204-3-600x450.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"2280\" data-link=\"http:\/\/amyalphin.com\/?attachment_id=2280\" class=\"wp-image-2280\" srcset=\"http:\/\/amyalphin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_20200929_142204-3-600x450.jpg 600w, http:\/\/amyalphin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_20200929_142204-3-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/amyalphin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_20200929_142204-3-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" src=\"http:\/\/amyalphin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_20200929_142213-3-600x450.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2281\" srcset=\"http:\/\/amyalphin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_20200929_142213-3-600x450.jpg 600w, http:\/\/amyalphin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_20200929_142213-3-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/amyalphin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_20200929_142213-3-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This year, I&#8217;ve been doing Monthly Project Life for our family album.  I&#8217;m loving the ease, and the variety of page protector size of the 9&#215;12 album.  It is a very simple size for both quick, pocket layout, and more crafty, detailed spreads.  Another thing I&#8217;m loving about this size, is the ability to include different size page protectors such as 6&#215;8 and 8&#215;10.  I like the way that different sized page protectors look when they are layered on top of each other within a spread.  I think it adds interesting visual texture, (and it allows me to stuff in even more photos). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" src=\"http:\/\/amyalphin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_20200929_135835-2-600x450.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2283\" srcset=\"http:\/\/amyalphin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_20200929_135835-2-600x450.jpg 600w, http:\/\/amyalphin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_20200929_135835-2-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/amyalphin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_20200929_135835-2-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" src=\"http:\/\/amyalphin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_20200929_135717-2-600x450.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2284\" srcset=\"http:\/\/amyalphin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_20200929_135717-2-600x450.jpg 600w, http:\/\/amyalphin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_20200929_135717-2-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/amyalphin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_20200929_135717-2-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes its fun to experiment with size outside the page protectors as well.  This is not a technique I employ much, mostly because I&#8217;m worried that little hands will damage things outside of the page protectors, but it is still fun to play around with from time to time.  In this year&#8217;s Week in the Life, I did a spread that layered a 3&#215;4 journal card, on top of a 5 1\/2 x 8 1\/2 watercolor painting on top of a traditional 3&#215;4 page protector. I really like how the different papers and plastics have different textures.  I also added a repeated element of the geotag half circle outside the page protector in my 3&#215;8 Europe travel album which I used to hold the names of different locations that we visited.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-1 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" src=\"http:\/\/amyalphin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_20200929_141307-2-600x450.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"2285\" data-link=\"http:\/\/amyalphin.com\/?attachment_id=2285\" class=\"wp-image-2285\" srcset=\"http:\/\/amyalphin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_20200929_141307-2-600x450.jpg 600w, http:\/\/amyalphin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_20200929_141307-2-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/amyalphin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_20200929_141307-2-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-1 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-3 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" src=\"http:\/\/amyalphin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_20200929_141316-3-600x450.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"2287\" data-link=\"http:\/\/amyalphin.com\/?attachment_id=2287\" class=\"wp-image-2287\" srcset=\"http:\/\/amyalphin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_20200929_141316-3-600x450.jpg 600w, http:\/\/amyalphin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_20200929_141316-3-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/amyalphin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_20200929_141316-3-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" src=\"http:\/\/amyalphin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_20200929_141851-4-600x450.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2290\" srcset=\"http:\/\/amyalphin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_20200929_141851-4-600x450.jpg 600w, http:\/\/amyalphin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_20200929_141851-4-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/amyalphin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_20200929_141851-4-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-4 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"450\" height=\"600\" src=\"http:\/\/amyalphin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_20200929_141914-2-450x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"2291\" data-link=\"http:\/\/amyalphin.com\/?attachment_id=2291\" class=\"wp-image-2291\" srcset=\"http:\/\/amyalphin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_20200929_141914-2-450x600.jpg 450w, http:\/\/amyalphin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_20200929_141914-2-225x300.jpg 225w, http:\/\/amyalphin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_20200929_141914-2-768x1024.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"450\" height=\"600\" src=\"http:\/\/amyalphin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_20200929_141936-2-450x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"2292\" data-link=\"http:\/\/amyalphin.com\/?attachment_id=2292\" class=\"wp-image-2292\" srcset=\"http:\/\/amyalphin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_20200929_141936-2-450x600.jpg 450w, http:\/\/amyalphin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_20200929_141936-2-225x300.jpg 225w, http:\/\/amyalphin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_20200929_141936-2-768x1024.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>I enjoy the look of my albums more when I switch up the sizes of pictures and page protectors that I use.
