| There are many types and sizes of albums.
Post bound albums are very popular and readily available.
They are held together with 2 or 3 metal posts that are removable
so the album can be expanded. The page protector is what is secured
in to the album, and then the scrapbook page is inserted into
the page protector. This allows you to change the order of your
pages with ease and use any color paper for your pages.
Strap hinge albums use a plastic strap that connects
to the actual scrapbook page and the page protector goes over
the page.
Spiral Bound Albums come in a variety of sizes. They
are appropriate for single events; special occasions and even
kids to scrapbook their own stuff.
Determine what your album is going to be used for first, and then
it will be easier to determine what size album you’ll need.
12” x 12” album- chronological family albums,
child’s first year’s album, elementary school album,
etc. All work well in the larger album format.
8” x 8” or 6” x 6” albums- special
occasions such as wedding, new baby, anniversary, vacation all
work well in these size albums.
Once you’ve decided on the theme, gather your pictures
and organize them in some sort of order. It might be chronological;
it could be individual players then team photos, etc.
