Let's talk albums~

Hi everyone~
Remember this, all those pages that were not in albums, stacked up in every corner

and you say, "heck, that's not too bad" ~well, this is not all of my pages!  I had 13 hanging up in my studio, several framed in the house and more than several on display at Craft Crossing{the LSS that I teach at} that by the way is fabulous!!!
So I started organizing and putting them in albums!!!


Started piles of month and year~


and then I found that some of my years had other years included in the wrong year~ ugh!!!! What a mess~but I stayed with it until it was right!!!



I keep them in a closet in my studio~hoping for a bookshelf one of these days!! BUT, this is a great start!!


The albums are by American Crafts {3 ring} and hold about 28-30 layouts, depending on how much dimension is on the layout.   I have over 40 Creative Memories albums and 12 American Crafts albums!! My poor kids!!

  2. I use the AC albums too. Love them! I use the window on the front to label them and then I use a Dymo label on the inside of the front cover so I can see it when they're lined up but I like your idea better. You can see the year at a glance.

  12. It's uncanny that you share this on your blog today because I was JUST sitting on my bed organizing my layouts. I still have one more of those 12x12 plastic storage bins full. Love those d-ring albums and will probably switch everything to those soon. Probably the LEAST favorite part about scrapbooking. LOL
