A new and emerging trend in scrapbooking is the use of albums that arent the standard dimensions of 12 x 12, 8.5 x 11 or even 6 x 6. Many scrapbookers want to expand to larger pages so they can use larger photos and more photos in their layouts. The major problem has been finding albums in these non-standard dimensions to preserve these layouts.
Giant scrapbooks, by definition, are just really big scrapbooks! They arent easy to find either, but there are a few companies that have them. One company I found carries 2 giant scrapbook album sizes: 12 x 18 and 18 x 24. These giant art scrapbooks were originally designed to hold the artwork that children bring home from school, but they work wonderfully for oversized layouts!
Here are some of the things you can do with these oversized albums:
Use them to display the artwork your children create at school. Standard art papers are 12 x 18 in size.
Create layouts with enlargements of your favorite photos like 8 x 10, 10 x 13, 11 x 14 that are too big for standard pages.
Incorporate full pages of text from newsletters, brochures and letters.
