If you are a scrapbooker, then you know that there are many, many types of albums on the market today. There are strap-bound albums, post-bound albums, binder albums, paper bag albums, spiral-bound albums and more. Then albums come in many different sizes! How do you know what album you need?

You can use scrapbooking albums for any occasion, from the birth of a newborn to Christmas memories, sharing the fun times you had during the festive season. You can use these albums to share memories amongst friends and family or you can create one as a gift.

Post-bound scrapbook albums use metal posts to attach the pages to the album through holes in the edge of the page. When you open a post-bound album it will lay flat. The pages of the post-bound album are actually page protectors, where you slide your page in through the top of the album. This means if you need to re-arrange, all you have to do is slide a few pages back out and re-arrange. You do not have to completely disassemble the album. Post-bound albums can be added to by screwing in a post extension.

It is also important to keep your album simple and not to make it too complicated. The key is to have fun and get creative - after all it is an adventure of past events organized in a way that tells the story over time. By the way it does not have to be perfect, what’s more important is the story and how you relate to it.

The real trick to ABC scrapbooking albums is that you want it to be obvious what you’re doing with every page. The ABC order and the theme should be clear. For your pages, make sure you have several styles of the letter scattered throughout the page and on top of the elements and embellishments you are using so that it is obvious you are doing these letters in order.
