So I have always scaled down, often using the same techniques and layout ideas but as mini books. These are much more easy to store and look at, and I love using A4 size for the reason you mentioned. I can print background, journaling, etc. and I am busy making A5 size pages at the moment. I love the off cuts from the 12x12 pages because they are great for tabs & adding elsewhere. Great page by the way, and I like white space too. Though I also loved the last minibook I made because it is busy,and there is so much to look at. As you say, change is good.
