Scrap booking idea for 8x11 background on a 12x12 page?

Question

I need some ideas....I have a program that i can print backgrounds that i can add my on texts, pictures and such on my 8x11 paper/card stock/photo paper. However, I prefer 12x12 albums. Anybody have any ideas on how I can use my 8x11 page on a 12x12 page without it looking strange?

Thanks

One idea is to cut the 8.5 x 11 page down to an 8x8 and put it in the center of the 12x12 page creating a boarder effect. A square within square will look good on a page.

Cut the 8.5x11 page into long strips and use them across the top and bottom of your larger page.
