I was looking for some advice in doing PL on a smaller scale this year. I like the new Snap page protectors, but their albums look to be cardboard to me. Is that right? Do these protectors fit into any other albums - perhaps a standard 8.5 x 11 inches? I'd appreciate any input.
Also, does anybody know if the new PL trays fit inside the Iris 12 x 12 plastic storage boxes with the flip tops or the two pieces boxes that Archivers sells?
TIA |

Have you seen the new mini albums Becky Higgins is releasing in May? They might be perfect for you - if you can wait until then. |

Hi there,
I did see those and that's what got me started on the idea, but the pages are sewn in her new albums. I don't like those kind of albums. I want 3 ring or even post albums, so that I can determine how many pages are included.
Thanks for the input. |

What about using baseball card sleeves?
If you want to see some inspiration on this, check out gsy's gallery. She uses baseball card sleeves and they look great. I scrap 8.5x11 and I've used them in my scrapbook albums with great success.
Just note that the pockets are 2.5 x 3.5 inches, not the 3x4 and 4x6 inches of the project life pockets.
Sn@p also has 6x8 pocketed page protectors, but I don't know if they fit in regular albums (I'd love an answer to this if anyone knows!). It might be possible to mix the two in a album/binder. |

I snap albums are coming out in a leather version soon. Perhaps you could buy the sleves now and wait for the album?
Or, I think the snap albums are made with the view that you decorate them. Perhaps you could paint and decorate an album cover to make it your own |

I love the look/idea of the small snap pages. Kelly Purkey ( http://www.kellypurkey.com/its_me_kp/ ) is doing that this year, and it seems a bit more manageable. |
