Any scrapbookers?

[sanibel21]

Hi all! I looked through the first page of thread titles and didn't see any scrapbooking posts. I was wondering if anyone can give recommendations on albums, pages, and page protectors. I used to use Creative Memories a long time ago. But when I went looking last night, they had maybe 12 album options and they were all just plain colors. I was looking for more theme/decorated type albums. I have a bunch of 12 x 12 pages done. Thanks in advance for any replies!

I scrapbook but I don't prefer any of the home sales albums. I go to my local scrapbook store for my 12x12 albums. I am not sure what manufacturer they are but there are extra pages everywhere. (I am not helpful today at all).

I like the patterned covers and books with the slip in sleeves.

I just want to say hi- and that I looove Sanibel (not sure what the connection between your screen name and the island is, but, I have so many happy memories of Sanibel/Captiva). We do have scrapbookers around, I'm not sure how many still do non-digital pages, but, please hop right in!

Thanks saltypearl! I wondered about the craft store albums, but have never actually checked them out. Do they hold up well?
Thanks cmeon! It is in reference to the island! We had recently gone there while down in FL for a wedding and I loved it!! My original avatar was a pic of the beach there.

Hey sanibel21

I'm a scrapbooker. I am still doing it the traditional way and buy my albums from craft stores. I buy the type that I can add more pages to as I usually do an album per kid/theme/etc. I personally try to buy albums with just plain black covers as I store them all on a bookshelf for easy access for the kids and like them to look uniform but there are so many colours and patterns available in standard 12 x 12 albums.

I also still do paper pages for my scrapbooks. I use post bound albums and get from local places and sometimes on Amazon. I can't think of any of the brands off hand.
