| Winter Album Round-Up | |
This on-going series will examine the wide range of choices available to scrapbookers when selecting an album. I will be contacting major scrapbook manufacturers to receive information about their products to pass on to you in order to help you make informed decisions and be aware of all the terrific albums that are available on the craft market. I have divided this article up into two sections; this week I am focusing on spiral, book, and 3-ring bound albums. Part II has information about several post-bound and strap hinge albums from several major manufacturers.
