toying with an idea.

[arimacias]

first off, let me tell you i LOVE my AC 8x8 binders.
but the page protectors are sooooooo floppy.
so i am thinking that maybe, MAYBE i can just do without them altogether.
if i DID, this would be the plan. tape pages back to back and then punch holes in them to hold in albums.
i am just tired of the plastic, kwim?. i could back the pages with cardstock to tell more stories or use a few more printed pictures?
maybe i am just trying to reinvent them wheel.
ugh.
maybe i just need my foot to hurry up and heal so i can get back to my life LOLOLOL.
would love to know what you think.
good or bad idea?

When I use the clear plastic page protectors I put a blank, neutral piece of card stock in between the 2 scrapbook pages which are also scrapped on card stock for the base layer. Then I have 3 layers of cardstock in each plastic sheet and the pages are sturdy and not at all floppy. Maybe you already do this and are just tired of the plastic?

I put a piece of cardstock in the middle too I can't live without the plastic... if I got rid of the plastic I would trade it for sticky oily finger prints :P

Hmmmmmmm....some more ideas to think about?...

I print my pages onto thick photo paper and just pop them into the 8x8. I don't find them floppy! But I do rather dislike the reflective nature of the plastic. Perhaps if I bought more expensive albums that would not be a problem. I don't use AC albums, I use Grant Archival which are post albums rather than ring binders. I don't know if that makes a difference.
