I actually "cut" mine before I even create them. It's just easier for my to work with! What I do in PSE6 is open my 12x24 page and Turn on my ruler if it's not already one: View -----> Rulers or Shift + CTRL+ R.
Then turn on my grids: View ---> Girds.
Then make sure you have snap to on: View ----> Snap to -----> Grids.
Then I choose my crop tool: C
Then start at the corner and drag your crop tool to the half way mark (a 12x12 area) then click your check mark and tada...you have a 12x12 document. I then delete the "extra layers" cause I can't stand cluster. Then I save that with the name of my page (I usually only do 2 pagers for my month in review pages so it would be named eam2011 apr mir1).
Then close that down and reopen the 12x24 page again and repeat the steps for the opposite side and then when I save it it's would be named the same as the first page only with a number 2.
Then I re open both pages and start scrapping them!!
