Picture sizes

Ok, I have been using 5x7's mainly for my layouts, but I was just wondering what everyone else uses. I just started scrapping in January, so am pretty new at all of it. Just wondering what everyone else uses. BTW, I use 12x12 pp.

I use a variety of sizes, from from wallet to 5x7, it depends on the layout.

I mostly use 4x6 photos, but then I crop them and often make them smaller than that. I found 6x8 are too big and 8x12 is a real challenge ... 8x10 is easier.

Most of my pictures are 4x6, but I also often crop them smaller--sometimes I use Coluzzle to shape them, sometimes overlap, but usually the majority of my page is a pattern of pictures. If it's a special picture then I may use a 5x7 or 8x10.

I use a variety of sizes. Mostly 5x7 or 4x6. I do a lot of digital photography, with digital camera, and then print in different sizes. Anywheres from 1x1 to 5x7.

I print my digitals on the pharmacy machines, all 4 x 6 then I crop them as needed. Of course I will use a bigger picture if necessary.

I also print my own digitals and love to make odd sizes... I was talking with a crop buddy and we noticed that I don't crop my pictures anymore manually... I use the computer to crop out what is not needed and then print them... I didn't even realize I was doing it... I like to print a 5x5 or 6x6 square as my focal and then three 3x3's to accent it... I am really on a square kick lately....

It depends on my mood. Motsly, I use 4x6. I am trying to incorporate more 5x7s into my lo's. I have a lo in my mind. Just need to print my pictures and make the lo.

4x6 6x8 (I think) 8 x10.. and 10x12 (I think.. or it may be 11x13 - the huge photos in my SB.com gallery). Some times I've had to crop them down. I use portrait and landscape, and have strated to get into the habit of taking photos in both for the one shoot (if you know what I mean) so I dont get so frustrated when putting LOs together.

HTH!
