Rounded Or Square?
Tags:
I haven't had a ton of time to catch up (no guilt about this) on Project Life® recently but I did print out a bunch of photos from some of our adventures last week. I've been trying to print them out at the same time as I edit the photos for my blog posts - you know, that whole "one touch" thing (vs. doing one thing now and then having to come back to them all over again to print).
Which brought me to this thought: all along I've been rounding the corners. I like the look of rounded corners.
But I might be tired or rounding them. I'm thinking about not caring about that anymore (or doing it sometimes and not other times) and wondering if I can be cool with a mix of rounded cards and square photos and REALLY who cares if they are rounded or not or a mix.
So today's question to you: square, rounded, or a mix?
Hope you have an awesome weekend. I'm super excited that the Story Stamps™ will start shipping next week and I can't wait to start telling stories with many of you in the member community.

Sometimes I round them (manually, I don't have a punch), but I'm only doing layouts. I like both, but if I have more then 1photo in a layout they are all rounded or all left alone. Have a nice weekend. Michelle t

I tend to do a mix. Having a mix on one side of the page doesn't bother me, however when I use a rounded card on one side of a pocket and then slip in a photo or card with square edges on the back side of the pocket, that does bother me. Then I do contemplate rounding the square edges.

I mix it up. It depends on the cards I used on the previous page. I use a combo of the Studio Calico and Becky Higgins Card kits and some are rounded and some are squared. I focus more on the card message and design when making my page. So if I used a rounded in the pocket on the previous page, then I round of the card in that pocket on the next. I end up with the mix. I like the contrast really.

Rounded; a mix on one page does bother me, but I'm not sure why. I contemplate a mix page by page sometimes, but always end up rounding them.

I mix it up in the album but never on the same layout.

I used to round everything now I do a mix of both. I prefer the straight edges to round now but doesnt matter I just go with what I have and mix it all in.

I use Becky Higgins cards so they're all rounded. My pictures are square. It doesn't bother me at all. My purpose is to get the stories written and the pages done. My kids & husband have never complained about the different corners of course and it's just faster that way.

For my PL pages, I prefer rounded edges; for my layouts, usually square, although I have rounded my corners.....I just prefer the rounded edges, it makes them softer, I guess.

Rounded them for the past 4 years and just decided it doesn't really matter and it takes extra time. So square!

I round everything except when I have a photo that takes up more than one pocket, I do not round the inner corners which would be in the interior of the photo. I just really really like the look of the rounded corners!

I use pocket page protectors also for 'regular' scrapbook layouts. For that, I keep them square. If it's rounded, it's PL.
That is, for now. I could very well be tired of rounding those corners soon too.

I like both - I'm with you in that I get sick of using my punch sometimes to round out the corners. No worries, I just move on...

I mix everything up. For me it's all about your phrase: embrace imperfection. Some cards are rounded and some square. I leave them as they are. Only The front and back in one pocket stay the same. Bye Irene

I mix it up. I don't round my photo corners. But I will round some cards. I have no rhyme or reason.

I used to round picture corners, to match my PL cards...and one day realized I felt annoyed at doing it. I guess I found it a tedious task that I was holding myself to, for consistency's sake, in a year long album.
Since then, I've embraced the mix! And I'm completely happy with it! I think I actually like the variety. It doesn't bother me, nor do I even notice anymore, when I happen to use a square pic behind a rounded card (same pocket). 'Going with the flow' and lovin' it!

I love rounded but find myself doing a mix of both, depends on the picture or journal card and whether it lends itself to rounding.

When I began PL in 2011, all corners were rounded. Last year I left them the corners square and this year they are a mix of the two.
