Rounded Or Square?

Rounded! I love the look of rounded corners. I'll admit that I like the look of the square corners on others' pages, and I keep thinking I should try a mix..... and then I end up rounding everything. I do sometimes leave one or two of the corners square-- either to match something else on the page or if there is a word too close to the corner or something, and I really like that look.

I do both and it looks great! I often wondered why the Project Life cards were rounded and some people take the time to round their pics...this is supposed to be a QUICK way to get the pictures in an album...
BTW, when will we be seeing some December Daily plans? :)

I have a mix of rounded and square corners. I just started adding a border to my prints and love the clean lines but when you round those corners the photograph looks funny. So if I am adding a border I leave them square.

You are so funny, Ali. When I first start PL (a mere three months ago) I was adamant about NOT having rounded corners. To me, rounded corners isolated the elements from each other rather than unifying as a connected design. Recently though, I couldn't resist some of the cards with rounded corners and have since changed my tune. In the grand scheme of things, does it really matter if the corners are rounded or not or *gasp* a mix? I think not.

Square. I don't understand why BH has to round the corners. I think square would be better - then if you like them rounded you can round it! I don't mind the rounded mixed with my square but I don't like not being given the option. I mostly like the square look and I like that it fills in the entire space of the pocket.

I lamented this for about a minute when I first started project life 3 years ago. I felt like it would look "off" if I didn't round them, but I was really inspired by Marcy Penner to start, and she was just slapping white borders on her photos, and I really liked the way that looked.. so that's what I did. The mix has never really bothered me. This year, I went to a smaller album & dropped the white borders to mix it up, renew my interest, & cut myself some slack since I'm in school full time + raising a family + taking care of my household responsibilities. Sometimes I miss the white borders, but I can still say the corners don't bug me. If anything, I wished that the kits came with square edges, because my brain seems to miss that little edge of real-estate on the corner :) I liked what Jamaica Edgell did though, she stuck a piece of similarly colored card stock behind her studio calico cards because she was bugged by the rounded corners... When I find myself struggling over little details, like a card not coming together the way I want it too, I just remind myself that the story is the most important part, and to embrace the imperfection, something I learned from you! :)

Whatever is easiest...so a mix, I guess. I'm just lazy. LOL! I got tired of bringing out the corner rounder, so I just stopped. And you know what? No one has even noticed that some of the cards are rounded and some aren't. I don't even mind if there is a rounded card on one side and a straight-edged card on the other. I'm all about trying to simplify. I would rather spend the time stamping or hand writing the journaling.

Definitely a mix....just because I was weary of rounding all the corners. Good thing I bought the non-rounded corner 3x4 punch (which, I have to say, is totally on "the tools I can't do without list"). I like the look of a full page of 4x6 square corner photos.

I started out rounding all my corners and then I did a page when I was away from home and didn't have my corner rounder and decided I liked that look also. So now I do both and mix them and it doesn't bother me that they are not all the same. And I quite like being unpredictable.

As all mine are digital, it makes no nevermind to me if there's a mix but more often than not I'm using rounded because I have a mask that all my photos go to usually. A click of the mouse and rounded they are. I also often have one full page layout opposite the traditional PL layout. The full page may have anything that goes with that week - it's a page where I get to do more playing.

I like to round my corners. It's just a personal choice of mine to have the cards and pictures all uniform. I can't wait to get my first stamp. I'm so excited for you!

i prefer all straight corners but due to cards with rounded corners, i use a mix of both!

I always round the corners because I don't like the look of the cards being rounded and my photos not being rounded. I really wish everyone would sell the cards not rounded so you can have the choice of rounding them yourself.

I actually don't round my corners at all for the last 3 years. It's easier to cut (since I print my photos at home), quicker to get it done, and it's more appealing to me. The only time I use rounded corner cards is when I get a kit. But i'm not picky. As long it's in my album I am happy.

I never round my corners so I have a huge mish-mash of corners between cards & pictures. It totally doensn't bother me :)

Personally, I don't mind having it mixed up. Genrally, my photos and cards are rounded, but sometimes it happens that I don't round the corner of I photo that has a white border, or a beautiful card that came with square corners. The ephemera pieces also, are never rounded. I don't mind the mix. My moto is: it's good enough. Just like you thought me. ;)

BOTH is totally fine by me!

I started doing "Project Life" with my own stash, not a kit (although I do use some of the page protectors.) So all of my pockets have things with square corners. I've toyed with picking up a branded PL kit but the mix of rounded and square corners would bug me. (See also: Virgo -- ha, ha) If I ever do switch to rounded corners, I'd have to switch at the beginning of the year and do it that way the whole year.

I have 2 PL kits, but I also have a habit of using paper scraps (or entire pieces of paper from my stash)to make my own cards if the colors aren't what I want to use in a particular layout. And I also mix in traditional pages, since I take more of a by-the-month approach and just use however many page protectors I need. So I do a mix of square and rounded, mostly because I'm also too lazy to round the corners on all of my photos and homemade cards as well!

BOTH
It depends on the project that I'm doing
(I don't do PL--but if I did I would go square because that's the way the page protectors are made)
