| Jennifer T. asks:
I am in need of help in finding an album to
put all my digitally created scrapbook pages using your CDs! I decided to use the 8.5 x
11 format for ease of printing (and lower cost, too), and now I'm not sure
where to find nice albums to put them all in!!
Michelle answers:
Any major craft or
scrapbook retailer will have 8.5x11 albums, but they are becoming less
common, as 8x8 and 8.5x8.5 become more popular. FYI: you can print all of
our 12x12 papers/templates at any square size to fit on your standard
printer, so these smaller size formats are great options for you, as well!
Some of my favorite brands
of albums suitable for digital pages are
Mrs. Grossman's (durable covers) and
K&Co
(artistic designs). K&Co has gorgeous collage covered albums in 11x8.5
landscape format in their trendy 'studio k' line. I recently purchased one at Scrapbooks Plus in
St. Cloud to use with our 11x8.5 landscape
Rich
Reflectives ScrapOver Album Pak download.
For digital pages, look for albums that have plastic page protectors you
can slide your printed pages in from the top. For higher end art
presentations, Innova has come out with their
Opus Presentation Album.
Opus is a full album kit, which consists of all you need to print and bind
your own elegant album on your home printer. In testing, I found it to be
a quality
product and great concept.
See our
article on printing for other options.
Happy Learning!
