Choosing a Scrapbooking Album
There are many different types of scrapbooking album to choose from and it is a personal decision as to which you prefer and which suits the purpose or style of album you wish to create. It is best to choose an archival-quality album that is acid and lignin free to ensure that your photos are not ruined and are preserved properly. It is worth remembering that a magnetic scrapbooking album could seriously damage your photographs. Always buy a sturdy scrapbooking album that can withstand plenty of page turnings.
The most popular size of scrapbooking album is still 12×12, closely followed by 8 ? x 11, but there is now a much wider variety of sizes to suit every type of project. It is important to be able to actually see the size of a scrapbooking album before you buy it and not assume that you know it will be right for the job.
A post bound scrapbooking album has two, or three, metal screw posts that hold the album together. This type of scrapbooking album is ideal for almost any project as the pages can be reordered whenever you feel the need to ensure that you have them exactly how you want them without having to plan the order in advance. You can also by post extensions to expand the size of the scrapbooking album if necessary so you will never run out of space.
A flex-hinge scrapbooking album has flexible straps that thread through the covers. This type of album is particularly sturdy and the pages lie very flat when the album is opened, unlike some other types.
A spiral bound scrapbooking album is perfect for smaller projects as it is a complete album with the pages already integrated. However, it is important to ensure that the spiral is large enough to accommodate the added thickness of photographs and embellishments. This type of scrapbooking album is ideal for beginners or small projects.
There are a number of specialist scrapbooking album systems that have their own products that can be used within the album, such as paper and protectors. The size of these can not be extended so are best suited for small, special projects.
If you are looking for your first scrapbooking album then it is best to get advice from an experienced scrapbooker to ensure that you do not buy one that you find does not work for your purposes.
