You could make a new scrapbook after resizing the scrapbook icons. Do the resizing in a blank file and Save as Scrapbook. If the icons are currently in the same scrapbook you could start by editing the scrapbook to get the whole page. Adjust the sizes and arrange the icons, adjust the paper size as needed and then save as Scrapbook.

WOW!!!! As an ex-scrapbooker, I know this was a huge amount of effort and love which turned into a beautiful work of art!!! Congrats to you, Lauren, for giving this couple something they will cherish forever!
But trust me, I understand that some seasons of life are more conducive to scrapbooking than others, and you are commemorating the moments of your lives in so many other ways right now. So let there not be any guilt about scrapbooks unmade! Only anticipation of new, fun ways to celebrate what has been that allow you to really live in the present, so that you can make new memories. ?
Thank you Lauren for the most amazing scrapbook EVER! We will treasure it forever and ever and ever. I have many gifts from you and have kept every one (from pillows to notebooks to amazing cards, etc) but this one is the most special. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. xoxox

Thanks, Monica! I was in the same boat as you. The last time I had really scrapbooked was in high school after one of my mission trips. Our family went on vacation one winter and I spent the entire time cooped up in the cabin, working on the scrapbook. Suffice it to say, I was burnt out at the end and needed a 13 year break. Ha ha. It was fun to get back into it, though, for a spell!
Thanks, Ingrid! I appreciate you taking the time to look through the pics. And what are you talking about? You know you would create some gold-leafy-scrapbook-goodness if put to the task. ? Happy weekend to you, also, friend!
Every year I was gaining more and more photos and I got to the point that it was so overwhelming so I decided that I would make a 2 page lay out for each event and then place them into a scrapbook and date it with the year and it works great I usually pick a week or two and pick pictures, print them out in different sizes, take over the dinning room table and get busy and every free moment is put to scrapbooking, my husband understands I only do it a couple times a year so he puts in extra effort in laundry and dishes to help make up for the stuff I am neglecting.
Ha ha. Yes, those babies just keep coming! ? Well, I hope that when the time comes, you can return to scrapbooking in such a way that it is really a life-giving and not too overwhelming. Give yourself permission for the scrapbooks to be simple. (Easier to say than do, right?)

I had (and still have) so much love for the digi scrapbook community and have enjoyed watching my designs get used by countless, loyal customers. So why then, have I made the decision to retire my personal use store?
I started in this industry like many others; it was a side hobby while I worked a "regular" job and then it eventually became my full-time job. I've been a scrapbooker since the age of 13 and after receiving a design degree, it felt natural for me to design products for a hobby I enjoyed so much.
At first, designing scrapbook products actually fueled me to scrapbook my own stories more often. I started participating in Project Life, created vacation albums again, and even enjoyed making pages for store challenges. But that feeling didn't last and scrapbooking started to lose its luster.
The main reason I had lost the motivation to scrapbook was because it was no longer a hobby for me; it had become part of my job description. For the past 3-4 years, anything I scrapbooked was created to help promote my business. Scrapbooking for scrapbooking-sake was no longer my primary motivator, it was all about showcasing my products as best I could or to illustrate tutorials I wrote. And bit by bit, I stopped enjoying the "hobby" of scrapbooking.
And that's makes me sad. Knowing that I took a hobby I've enjoyed for almost two decades and reduced it to nothing more than a marketing tactic. I know I always want scrapbooking to be part of my life, but I want it to become a hobby again and not "my job" anymore.
For the first two years I was designing for the digi scrapbook industry, I spent about 75% of my time developing new product. The other 25% was mostly admin tasks, plus a little bit of marketing. I didn't have a creative team to manage, I didn't have a newsletter to send out each week, and my blog was only used for announcing new product and sharing personal interests like recipes and vacations.
Now I'm successful digital scrapbook designer and I can afford to pay myself a bit from my earnings, however, living in the Bay Area means that my income doesn't stretch nearly as far as it can elsewhere. That's why I am so very thankful for the most supportive husband I could ever ask for, who works at a job he loves that can completely provide for our family.
However, with digital scrapbook products being sold at such a low price point, I analyzed my business from the last three years and found that I needed to have the ability to churn out collection-sized releases each Friday and I just don't have the bandwidth to do that. So right now, the reality I'm facing is that in order to be able to grow my business, I need some things to change. Which leads me to reason #3...
However, even with my initial rejection of surface design, my passion for patterns slowly crept back into my life in the form of digital scrapbook design. These past six years have allowed me to experiment and grow as a surface designer, so much so that I even now teach other designers how to create their own patterns (I absolutely love being a teacher and plan on continuing to be). And I'm proud to say that I finally have the confidence in myself and my abilities as a surface designer and believe that it's time for me to take the next big step in my career.

For example, college women around the turn of the century used scrapbooks extensively to construct representations of their everyday life as students. Without photograph albums to provide images of these life events, students created unique representations through scrapbooks in order to illustrate their lives using ephemera and memorabilia. A guest list or group of visiting cards might represent a young woman's visit to a party. A playbill and ticket stub might serve as reminders of a trip to New York to see a Broadway show. Solid objects such as plants, silverware, or small trinkets were also used when further visual representation was needed.
A page from these subject-based scrapbooks might include class schedules, exam booklets, letters from professors, or other printed material from school events. Thus scrapbooks from this era can create a more complete image of their maker's life.[6]
The advent of modern photography began with the first permanent photograph created by Joseph Nicéphore Niépce in 1826.[8] This allowed the average person to begin to incorporate photographs into their scrapbooks. However, books or albums made specifically for showcasing photographs alone were not popularized in the United States until closer to 1860. Before that point, photographs were not thought of as items to be reproduced and shared. Demand for photo albums was spurred on in large part by the growing popularity of the carte de visite, a small photograph distributed in the same manner one might a visiting card.[7]
Old scrapbooks tended to have photos mounted with photomounting corners and perhaps notations of who was in a photo or where and when it was taken. They often included bits of memorabilia like newspaper clippings, letters, etc. An early known American scrapbooker and inventor of scrapbooking supplies was Mark Twain. Twain carried scrapbooks on his travels as he collected souvenirs, clippings, and pictures.[9][10][11] Various individuals and communities created scrapbooks throughout the twentieth century in Britain.[12] Among the most ardent scrapbookers of the 18th century was William Henry Dorsey, an artist who collected documents, paintings and artifact pertaining to Black history. Dorsey compiled hundreds of scrapbooks on the lives of Black people during the 18th century and built a collection that he laid out in his home in Philadelphia.
Marielen Wadley Christensen (pronounced as the names "Mary Ellen"), of Elk Ridge, Utah, United States (formerly of Spanish Fork, Utah) is credited with turning scrapbooking from what was once just the ages-old hobby into the actual industry containing businesses devoted specifically to the manufacturing and sale of scrapbooking supplies. She began designing creative pages for her family's photo memories, inserting the completed pages into sheet protectors collected in 3-ring binders. By 1980, she had assembled over fifty volumes and was invited to display them at the World Conference on Records in Salt Lake City. In 1981 Marielen and her husband Anthony Jay ("A.J.") authored and published a how-to booklet, Keeping Memories Alive, and opened a scrapbook store in Spanish Fork that ended up with the same name, that remains open today.[13][14]
