On the swap board we had an ABC disney swap. I am looking for an album for it. We made 52 8x8 pages, lots of the pages with raised embellishments. I guess I won't be fitting this in one album? Perhaps I'll need 2. I was in 3 groups, so I may need 6 albums.

I checked my local ACM,Michaels and JoAnn; I had no luck. I think I must have visited these stores after they had album sales. The shelves were pretty bare and there weren't many 8x8 albums.

On to my questions -- can you recommend an affordable album and a place to buy it? I do like the CM albums but since I may need 6, that is a bit pricey.

Another consideration is size - -I once bought the EK success 8x8 album with the embossed Mickey cover, it comes in red and black. THe 8x8 is not a true 8x8 and I had to trim all of my pages:mad: The 12x12 fell apart:mad:

JoAnns on line is having a sale -- good prices on Colorbox, hot off the press, DCWV and JoAnn's brand albums -- anybody have any of these?
 
I like the "Perfect Scrapbook" brand by colorbook. I have an 8 by 8 as well as a number of the 12 by 12. They hold true 8 by 8 pages. I haven't done so but according to the info on my 8 by 8 they say you can expand to 70 sheet protecttors. I know the binding has a cover that is close to 2 inches wide. I have put a number of pages into my 12 by 12s but not that many. I have expanded one of my 8 by 8s to 40 pages when using it for a circle journal, but they were not all used so I don't know how well it would hold them full.

I second buying the ColorBok albums. That's what I have turned to for the last couple of years and I love them!!!
 

I don't know about adapting it. The screw posts don't bother me so I haven't every tried to change them out.

I'll go to a store to see if they have one in stock.

Thanks so much for your recommendation. I am so very excited because my photos just arrived! I'll start putting the pages together tomorrow, so I need to find an album!
 
Not long ago our Ross (dress for less) store had a bunch of Disney 8 x 8 albums for about $6.00 each. They were just mixed in with a bunch of photo albums by the cookbooks.

Wow! That was a good find.
 
Fellow Disers strike again! I can't take credit for that one, I read about it on the scrapbook board, but I did buy a 12 x 12 one for $6.99.
 
I :lovestruc my "perfect scrapbooks" by colorbok. That is all I have used for years. I prefer the screws, so I have never tried to change them. I have put 100 pages in one, but it did get a little wobbly, so I ended up breaking it into 2 books. I think they would probably take 70 pages easy.
