I create traditional albums the most! Thanks for a chance to win!
P.S. Please help me out! I can never find the names of the winners! You had a lot of drawings in April, and I never saw a post with the winners…
The new issue look fabulous as usuall!
I make traditional albums:)
I make traditional albums. I did try a smaller size album for my daughter and that required a lot of adjustment on my part to make things fit the way I like.
What great minis! I love minis and alternate between minis and 6×6′s and 8×8′x the most – usually because I make albums for gifts.
I am a ‘whatever works at the moment’ type of scrapper … I do mini’s, traditional paper and digital. I do usually have my digital ones put in a book at Shutterfly once or twice a year. Yeah, my kids will be confused, but I do record a LOT of memories!
Mini albums! I do make other stuff as well, but they’re my favourite.
I prefer traditional scrapbooks. I love touching all the papers and photos. But lately I have been making more digital photo albums so that I can feel like I have completed something;)
I MOSTLY DO TRADITIONAL ALBUMS BUT I HAVE DONE A FEW MINIS—TO GET THE PHOTOS SCRAPPED FAST AND QUICK
mostly traditional but right now I have a huge stack of finished layouts that need a home. Make lots of minis to for gifts.
Ihave always done traditional,but after having twins I need simple. I would love to learn new tricks and techniques. Thanks for the chance to enter.
I make traditional scrapbooks almost exclusively. Maybe I’ll do a mini album sometime soon, and every once in a while I will make a photo book, but I like to get my hands on the paper and feel the layers.
Thanks for the chance to win!
I mostly make just regular 12×12 scrapbook pages and albums. But I do enjoy shaking it up with mini albums and different sized pages every now and again.
I mostly make 12×12 traditional scrapbooks, but I do occasionally make mini books too.
All of my albums thus far have been traditional, but I’ve been DYING to do a mini album! They are always so cute. I think I’m intimidated by how well everyone else’s seem to turn out.
I create traditional albums the most, I rarely do minis!
Super fab mini albums! I need to do a mini soon! They look like it is easy and so much fun! I love the Crop-A-Dile! Thanks for the chance to win!
I create traditional albums but I would like to try a mini album for my kids’ first years.
I have this issue and love it! I am so glad that CK is continuing to offer these special issues–this one is full of great ideas.
I love mini albums but seldom due them as they seem so difficult. What I do the most of is the traditional 12×12 family album.
I do traditional albums for the most part but am branching out and would love to win some other albums. Thanks!
I’m just getting started with scrapbooking. I made an 8 x 8 traditional scrapbook that I gave as a gift, and I’ve got a 6 x 6 and a 12 x 12 hybrid in progress.
I’m a traditionalist for sure. I like the basic 12×12 layouts for all of my scrapbook pages. I do like to create framed scrapbook pages for the wall and give these as gifts at the holidays. I would so love to win some albums – hope I’m a lucky winner!
I make scrapbooks… but for special events in our life mini albums. My husband and I decided also to start to make digital albums for every year where we would put our special pics about that year.
I’ve made traditional and mini-albums but I’m always open to new ideas. This magazine edition sounds like just what I need! Thanks so much!
I do traditional 12 x 12 albums almost all the time.
I’m just a traditional girl!
I make 12 x 12 mostly but will do smaller theme albums for special projects.
I create mostly 12×12 albums now. Have done a few mini albums for my kids to keep. Thanks for the giveaway!
I like traditional 12×12 albums mostly and have recently done a couple of minis too. I’ve done some altered projects and found that being versitle in this area works for me.
I create 12 x 12 albums the most but I have started doing more mini albums as gifts in the last year. Thanks for the give away – the new issue looks fantastic!
Excited about this new issue! Most often I scrapbook traditional albums – except when I’m doing gift albums, then they are usually minis.
Mini albums are my addiction. I make at least one or two every month. Love them!
I love traditional and hybrid scrapbooking. I have made a few mini albums as gifts as well.

Ooh, I can’t wait to get my hands on this issue. I mostly make traditional and mini albums.
that passport album is genius!!!
I do mostly traditional, however, I am doing more mini albums this year for gifts.
i created mostly traditional pages with some hybrid mixed in. i do a digital page now and then because it’s fun to not make a mess and have unlimited creative possibilities at my fingertips.
I am in the middle of making my first traditional album. The passport album could make a nice item to put on a page with the journaling and additional photos. Thanks for the chance to win this magazine and the crop-a-dile.

I have historically been a traditional scrapbooker but with a variety of page sizes in my albums, recently I created an 8×8 digital scrapbook for my brother as a gift which I can add pages to each birthday and Christmas. Love the look of the new book, I think I need a fast and fresh approach for future layouts.
I do traditional 12×12 albums for my day-to-day scrapbooking. For gifts, I usually make mini-albums, either traditional or digital.
I am generally a traditional 12×12 kind of girl, but have done 8×8 albums and mini albums as gifts.
