Do you print the majority of your layouts?

[SeattleSheri]

If you do print them, do you print them as individual pages, photos books or a combination? How often do you print them?

If you don't print them, what do you do with them?

[dana]

i print all of mine and put them in 12x12 3 ring binders (we r memory keepers) ... i also have some 8x8 books that i keep in the girls' room for them to flip through.

[SeattleSheri]

I print almost all of mine too. I make photobooks as Christmas gifts for my mother and ILs, so I usually print them out in November/December. There are a few I don't include in the books, but the majority are printed. I did try printing them as individual pages a few years back, but for gifting it's a lot less work for me to just make photobooks (I'm kind of lazy that way, lol).

[Keely~B]

I print all mine and they go into an 8x8 Ding album. I have done a couple themed photobooks too and I'd like to do more of those.

[jacinda]

I print mine in photobooks (it's cheaper to do it that way here) at the end of each year. I can't tell you how much my kids love looking through their albums.

[marlathrall]

I'm a yearly photo book girl too. I make matching spreads and print them in January or February. I've only got two years worth so far, but I already love looking through them...

[rach3975]

I print them all as individual pages. My kids need the plastic page protectors in order to look through albums without damaging them, plus it takes me too long to finish a year's worth of pages--I'd rather print 2 or 3 times a year and have something for all of us to look through than wait until I've finished scrapping an entire year (which may take me 2 years beyond the end of the year) to print a book.

I have done a few photobooks as gifts and am doing one for us with my AWITL photos right now, but only a tiny portion of my LOs get printed in photobooks.

[YepBrook]

I print them all (well, mostly all) of them in various forms. Mostly individual pages that go into my American Craft D-Ring albums that I stocked up on when I was a paper scrapper. I prefer printing them as books, but I've only done that a few times.

[joelsgirl]

I don't scrap it if it's not something I want to print. I print whenever Persnickety has a sale; I keep my layouts uploaded to their site so I'm ready to print whenever they have a sale. I use Pioneer or the MIchael's brand 8x8 albums for most of my layouts, but 2011 is waiting to be printed as a bound book.

[tsbegley]

I print all of mine as 12x12 individual sheets. Only use Persnickety Prints. LOVE them!

[mummytothree]

I've printed every single page I've ever scrapped!!! And I don't see my self quitting that anytime soon!!!

I print as individual pages and I usually store them up in my gallery at PP till they have a sale!!! I think the last time I printed at their sale I had 160 pages!!!

[Sarah8914]

I put no, but I plan to... but really I do. I'm just way way behind. I have 2009 and 2011 to catch up on. I print books so I can't do it until I have the year done... so I haven't printed for awhile. My girls LOVE theirs though, so I need to print more... if I ever catch up!

[scrapmommaof3]

I print mine too.
I used to put my individual pages into books, because I came to digiscrap from traditional scrapbooking. But once I ran out of books I had already bought, I print in photobooks now. They take up way, way less space than traditional scrapbooks. I usually pring my 12 x 12 pages into 10 x 10 books and they fit on the shelf great!

[SmallMoments]

Most of them, yes. I print them in albums.

[kim21673]

I haven't printed much yet but plan too one of these days. I jump around so much that I don't finish any given month/year which makes it impossible to print an album. I may end up printing some single sheets soon though.

[AmberK]

I havent printed a whole lot- just because im lazy. But when I do I just plan to print single pages so I can arrange in an album how I want them.

[Lyd]

I print mine as individual 8x8 pages and put them in 3ing binders by year. I also do an album for each child - just of their first year. After that everything goes into the family album. I am way behind on printing, but one of my goals this year was to print more, and I've been doing better. My kids absolutely love looking through the pages as I print them, and it is great incentive to keep up with the printing.

[Sharon Kay]

Individual pages ... I use traditional scrapbook albums and refills. I have a whole closet full of scrapbooks.

[maryinaz]

I absolutely intend on printing every single one of them. It's just the cost is prohibitive right now. I will be putting them in with all my paper layouts in page protectors in 12x12 albums.

[Tronesia]

I print individual 12 x 12 to add to my albums. This year I am trying out the 3ing binder style and I have to say, I like it much better...it is much easier to add pages.

[kristijoy]

I print individual pages for my family albums, journal, & historical pages (me, DH, extended family). This yeaer I'm going to do a photo book for my son since it will be chronological for 2012

[sugirox]

I dont scrap chronologically. So whatever i scrap gets printed individually and goes into their resp. albums by year. I use 12x12 pioneer post bound albums so i can add on as i keep scrapping. Also at the end of every year i make 2 8x8 photobooks with the pages i made that year for my folks and in-laws.

[isaacsmom]

Yes I print them. 8x8 single pages. This works great for me because I have never been a chronological scrapper. I jump around -- lots of times even from year to year. So when I get a new batch of LOs printed, I just move things around. I love having the LOs printed -- the whole family (myself included) LOVES to look at them. Plus for kiddos, I've heard it helps to build their self esteem to look at pics of themselves and their families.

[Joana1n]

I print my all-digi layouts via Persnickety Prints in 8x8 and then put them into 8x8 albums. Nothing compares to that paper they use - I still haven't found a photo book paper I'm wild about. I print every time PP has a sale, so at least twice a year, usually around iNSD and DSD.

[Lindsay]

I print all of my layouts for the month so I don't get behind. I've still got a backlog of older layouts that I haven't printed, so I try to slip a few of those every month. I also use Persnickety Prints in 8x8 and then load into 3ing albums.

[haydensmommy217]

I haven't printed my layouts i really should i do plan on printing my pages.

[Nikki Epperson]

I order books. I usually just load it up with random pages. I don't scrap in order and I don't print in order. Apparently, I enjoy disorder.

[seatrout]

I print all mine in photobooks. I do an annual photobook for general stuff and then special ones for each holiday etc. Just started work on my Scotland one

[Leontine78]

As I don't scrap chronological I print a photobook of all layouts made in a year. I find myself reading these books quite often too. I have two sofar. A small one for 2010 and a big one for 2011.

[mrshobbes]

I haven't printed any books or albums, but it's on my list of goals for this year at least

[Gemma]

I haven't printed any pages yet! I must get some done later this year!

[adrianka]

I print books (21x21 cm, i.e. 8x8 inch) and I plan to print more this year. They work fine regardless whether you planned them to be books or whether you just put random layouts together. I hope to print older pages this year, too, from the times when I was scrapping for friends. I'd like to have those printed too even if they're not my personal ones.

... and my for next year... probably. I have so many layouts to print that I have to save some money to do so first (because I want Persnickety and nothing else ). Still don't know how I organise them but I'm looking forward very much to having them printed.

[Freckles]

I have the plan to eventually have all my layouts in bound photobooks by year. But I'm way behind. The only two books that I had printed are 2011 and my boy's First Year Album.

For my AAM book, I plan to print my pages separately. I already have a slip-in album but I don't have any of my AAM pages printed yet. Should make work of that!

[Lizzy257]

I don't scrap in chronological order, but I do want my books to be in order . It's almost impossible to get 3ing albums, etc here, so with the cost of shipping it's far less expensive to print as photobooks - so that means I don't get my pages printed a whole lot (yet). My DD is 5 and I just printed her first year book this past March, and that was my first photobook! I'm working on DS's at the moment (he turns 4 next month), so I have quite a bit of catching up after that to get my yearly albums printed!!

[mariewilcox]

Yes, I print, and I only do photo books and only from Persnickety. I do a yearly book and I'm doing a themed book of our 1st Disney vacation. Not sure if I'll do a whole book for each Disney trip we've taken or not.

Marie, does Persnickety keep the same approach to books as they do for printing separate pages - i.e. not cutting borders? Because that sound intriguing.

[Nettio]

I print all of mine as individual layouts (usually 8x8). I have 4 American Crafts 8.5x11 Ding albums I put them in organized by Us, People, Places, and Things.

Those of you who haven't printed anything, totally should. It's so neat to see them off the screen - they look different but in a good way!

[luckyme]

I print all mine as 8x8 individual pages and add them to post-bound albums (eventually, haha!).

I print only once or twice a year -- whenever I catch a Persnickety Prints sale.

[cbettua]

I print every single one!

[Milmomma]

I spend on my $$ on kits. I recently printed my first photo book of my layouts and love it. Previously I'd only done a single page here or there to frame. I see printing more books in my future but have to save for them. :/

[julia]

I print mine into books. I've used shutterfly and viovio, but didn't like viovio that much. Concidered trying Persnickety Prints but didn't yet. We'll see with the next one

[KateD]

I print all my layouts as individual 12x12 sheets (another Persnickety fan here!). I buy print credits, so I print every few months when I have enough done to justify the shipping. I put my layouts in 12x12 3ing binders according to topic (Library of Memories system).

[nun69]

I print some of my pages as 12x12 and have a wall of 12- 12x12 frames and change them out regularly and I like to give them as framed gifts to friends. But I have also printed a few themed 8x8 albums (P365, yearly, Paris and my DD's Senior album of her life..which happened to be 130 pages)....I want to print more 12x12 and store them in D ring albums so the kids can flip through them....

[chastml]

I print all mine as individual 8x8. I also print select ones in photo books. I don't really scrap chronologically and I really don't care if they're all jumbled up. I'm a mess!

[nesser1981]

Photobooks for me.

Depends on how often. In 2011 I'll have 2 albums, January-August 2011 and then September-December 2011.

I was doing them like quarterly, but I've been trying to max out the 160 pages in each album, but I don't split months up.

[heathergw]

I don't scrap chronologically, so I print them individually and put them in 8x8 albums

there are a few exceptions... projects, I usually print in photobooks, like Week In The Life and December Daily unless I do them hybrid like the last December Daily I plan on printing my Project Life pages in a photobook at the end of the year...hopefully I can find one big enough LOL

[nesser1981]

I think scrapping chronologically is an illness for me. LOL!

I do skip around sometimes, but I always print chronologically.

I think our Disney trip will be its own album this time. Since it was Keira's make a wish trip and well, I don't think anything else will fit in an album with it! LOL!

[momof2angels]

I print all of mine as 8 x 8, and then they go into my 8 x 8 scrapbooks. I plan on printing as photo books later on, because I know it will take up less space. If I don't do that, I will have to turn one of my rooms into a library of family scrapbooks!

[MamaBee]

yup - I print most of my pages... some might be too personal that I don't want kiddo to read about..

I print 8x8 and into albums by year... not a person to crap in order, so it works out well... if it's a "project" like P365, vacation, dec daily, etc... those go into a photobook. I wish I could put them all in photobooks... but I just can't see to scrap in order. hahaha
