I just opened my '06 book and I don't like it either. I don't think someone who scrapbooks designed this one. First of all, you have to slip your scrapbook pages in through the side where the 3 rings are so you have to take out each page protector to do that and then the page protectors are exactly 12x12 , so you either have to cut your pages or punch the 3 holes through the page you did or pictures what ever is in that spot. Of course I did my pages first without realizing this. The albums from previous years were better.
