Default 8.5x11 layouts

Hi, I am semi-new to this site. I started awhile ago buying from the store, then got hooked on the layout ideas. I only scrap 8.5x11 size. Are there any idea pages in that size and if so where and how do I find them? Thanks for the help and all the great ideas. micky

We have a team member, Deena (deenaw), that scraps almost exclusively in that size.

Here is deenaw's gallery. Check it out for great inspiration!

ETA:

I just did a search and found other great member galleries that include that size:

I hope that helps!

I often cut down templates to work that size. My holiday albums are landscape - I have a few pages posted here, but buried on page 9 of my gallery!

I do 8.5 x 11, too. Adapting or making templates for letter size is pretty easy. Landscape format works well for me - it's good for LCD frames, TV, and laptop screens. And they're easy to print at home.

Yay! Add one to the team! We 8.5" x 11"ers may be in the minority but we're pulling over 12" x 12"ers slowly! I've tried every size and keep coming back to this one as my all-time favorite. I love it!

Just wanted to say welcome, Micky!

I was just going to post a thread about this!

Does anyone know of a good printing resource for this size? I know Ali has done them in the past, and I really like the idea of doing an 8.5x11 album and having the pages printed one by one, and putting them in page protectors. A mix would be great, so if anyone has any tips, I'd be grateful
