8x8 Scrapbooking

So, as you know, I LOVE SCRAPBOOKING! But goodness, I HATE 8x8 SCRAPBOOKING! I've made a few and hated every moment of it. Pictures don't fit, things look smooshed and all together, its just not enough scrapbook.

But being that one of my best friends live in Belgium, I cannot make her a 12x12 scrapbook and ship it to her a reasonable price. Which leaves me with the horrid option of 8x8 (which, FYI, fits in a US Postal Service 'Medium Flat Rate' ship box and ships to Belgium for about $45).

Although my hate for 8x8's is very high, I have a few pages that I really loved and I wanted to share them!

Luxembourg Cover Page

(Color meets Old World)

Flander's Field Page, with John McCrae Poem

(Example of 8x8 pages just being so cramped!)

Ten Duinen Play page

(I love how the pink and purple played off our colorful clothes!)
