Default Has Anyone made a shutterfly book this big?

So I am finally finished with Aubrey's first year album and it is 98 pages!!! I have chosen size 8x8 because I will be doing this type of book every year and I want it to be stored easily. Has anyone ever done an 8x8 this large? If so how did it turn out? I usually do like 20 - 30 page books.

Thanks
Shirley

I've done 3 12 X 12 books at max capacity and they are FAB! I'm sure the 8 X 8 will be equally as good just a bit smaller

I have made an 8x8 of 68 pages and I like the thickness of it - but I like the 12x12 much better at max. pages.

Thanks, I was worried that the thickness would be weird with the overall small size.

I have a few 12x12's at max size & they are amazing! I figure the 8x8 would be nice, too!

I've done 8x11's of over 100 pages. They were fine! Not weird at all.

Great question and soothing answers. I have 40 pages in a 12x12 ready to print and wondered that myself. Hadn't ever thought to ask, tho!

I've done both my family albums at maximum size and they still weren't big or thick.

I've done 12x12 at maximum size and it's superb. I can only imagine the 8x8 will be just as wonderful.
