Here’s some layouts I’ve managed to do over the last week or so.

And finally this one scraplifted from Gretchen.

Scrapbook Albums

Posted on March 10, 2009October 9, 2026 by Libby Withnall

Michelle at A Vision Spendid asked about the scrapbook albums I’m currently using so I thought I do a quick post.

I started out, nearly 10 years ago, not knowing anything about scrapbooking by buying a cheap album. Shortly afterwards I was introduced to Creative Memories and immediately fell in love with their albums. Since I like to use cardstock or patterned paper on most pages some of these albums are VERY heavy.

I used these up until a year ago, when I discovered Stacy Julians Library of Memories. She recommended American Craft Modern albums (and their page protectors). And I LOVE them. I LOVE the colours they come and I LOVE how easy it is to move pages around. Using her Library of Memories I now have albums for US, People we Love, Places we Go and Things we Do. Plus other albums for things like travel.

The albums are plain on the front -but they can be decorated. As you can see I haven’t gotten around to it yet.

And here’s what they look like open.

It’s not all playtime

Had fun on Thursday afternoon, playing with my new supplies. Didn’t actually do any layouts but sorted out my new goodies and found homes for everything.

Friday Christy was in the school district swimming carnival.

She was only in one race – came second last but at least she finished – so we were home just after 10am. Instead of heading straight to the scrapbook room I thought I’d be a good girl and start on organising the study/spare room.

BEFORE: There is a desk under there somewhere.

There is still a bit more work to be done. I’m going to move all my romance books up here and let the girls have the downstairs book case. Kevin did lift the photocopier onto the drawers for me. It’s so nice walking past this room now :-).

Work done, I had some lunch and then completed these.
