Scrapbook Album

Scrapbooking, which consists of the recompilation of photos in a single medium, is, of course, assembled with a photo album. You can make your own scrapbook album, or you can buy a ready-made one, where all you have to do is to place the photos and to decorate the pages, which is already a considerable task.

The Scrapbook Album is the basic tool for this artistic technique. In order to satisfy all your tastes, styles and needs, Craftelier offers a wide range of albums.

Scrapbook Albums

It is obvious that it was necessary to keep most of the dimensions of the formats, since it is mainly a passion born in the United States.

There are albums in a wide variety of colors and cover finishes with plain hues or original prints. And of course, there are several sizes available, which we will list.

The main characteristics of an album (cover, size, finish) are obviously a direct result of your choices, so you will need to think about the final look of your creation to find the album you want.

To help you in this process, you can ask yourself the following questions: What will the album accomplish? Is it going to be a gift, will I have it in front of me for a long time, is it going to be thick or with just a few photos? How many pages do you want? Is it better to have it done already? Or should I do it myself? Do I need to get special pockets or special pages for it? What kind of binding would be the right one for this project?

The most important thing to remember is that the scrapbook is a box of memories, a way to remember the good times and a way to prepare for the good times to come. Let's not hesitate to put a lot of effort into it because it is a storehouse of feelings and tenderness.

Scrapbooks are usually 12"x12" or 8"x8" or 6"x8", but as popularity grows, you can even get 4"x4" albums.

However, because it is the most practical and easiest to use for creative work, 12×12 is the most popular format. You can have a wide variety of different bags and almost unlimited combinations.

You can place about 3 photos per page and the album can typically contain about 60 pages, giving you the freedom to explore a subject.

The 6"x8" albums are very new. But they are quickly becoming a favorite. Because it is a bit smaller, it is more suitable for all scrapbooking beginners. It is the perfect size to give a detail to a loved one. Most embellishments are easy to fit and 12 x 12 sheets are easy to cut for this size.

The binding is another important consideration.

Folders and spiral binders are the most common. Craftelier has taken this into account and offers you a wide range of different colors to suit all tastes.

The albums with ring mechanism - either with 3 rings or with 2 rings, depending on the size - are very practical. They are also called D-ring system because of the way they look. They are very practical because the rings can be opened with a clip system, and they can hold a lot of pages and a lot of layers of decorations. Pockets can be easily added or removed (this type of ring makes it easier to turn pages and helps the album lie flat when opened). The metal rings provide a sturdy, protected and stronger spine.

Spiral albums add color (especially with our colored spiral’s supplies) and provide durable binding. They are more cost-effective and give a practical look to the project. It is very easy to bind with almost any binding machine.

Craftelier likes to play with the look and feel, which is why the covers have different finishes and levels of sturdiness, including a line of binders made from very soft eco-leather, with different metal elements in a variety of colors. To match your theme or the season.

In addition, the brand offers a wide range of accessories, from pockets and album covers to the famous spiral binding and binding mechanisms, eyelets and pages, naturally adapted to the album formats.
