Thinking about switching to rectangle LOs instead of square - thoughts?

[Sarah8914]

I haven't decided for sure what I'm going to do with my dd's school stuff. My plan as of right now is to just scan it all in... that way I can put multiple papers on one page. Saves space and we are not too attached to everything she does. I like to have some memory and see how she grows, but I don't feel the need to keep all the originals. Maybe some though... but I haven't started, so we'll see.

I kind of like this: http://digiscrapinfo.com/wordpress/2...-school-stuff/
although I'm sticking with square!

Well my oldest just hit Kinder this year. I'm the opposite of a pack rat though. He he doesn't come home raving about the project, I don't tend to keep it. He's got at least 12 more years of school to go and collect more stuff. I don't feel the need to incorporate it all either. It has its own binder. I take some picks of some of the stuff he does and scrap those, not the project. I may just be an odd ball here. I'd totally stick with my 12x12's no matter what

I'm so jealous that all of you have scrapbooks for your kids' school work/art projects! My girls are in 3rd and 6th grade and all the stuff I've kept is in my room in a drawer. LOL!

I think mixing the 12 x 12 and the 8.5 x 11 would be the best solution personally but I'd say give it a try and just see how it works.

I was reading a Better Homes and Garden article on decluttering. It suggested having a file box with 13 file folders (one for each year of school), and saving just what fits in 1 file folder. Anything else, if I really like it I'll probably scan it and use in a layout...

I'll probably just scan everything in that I like, honestly.

me too. I'd scan in the pieces I want to scrap and shrink to the size I want. Unless I go hybrid, it's the only way I'm scrapping the school projects.
