Nana Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 Hi, Does anyone know where to buy 8x8 ring binder albums? I prefer this type instead of the post bound, but I can't find them at the craft stores. Everything is made for 12x12 prints. Thanks so much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BayGirl22 Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 Another 8x8 question: Is it typical for an 8x8 album to have pages that are actually 8.5 x 8.5 inches? I am making an 8x8 gift album, I have my LO's printed and found an album in just the right style. But there is a 1/4 inch of page hanging out around each edge of the LO. The cream color 'frame' doesn't really complement all the cool color schemes I worked so hard to create! Will I face this with all albums of this size or do I just need to shop around for another brand of album? (I usually use 12x12 albums since I started out w/ traditional scrabooking and still have slots to fill.) Thanks for any advice! Amy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SandiC. Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 I have found some 8X8 albums with that extra room too. doesn't look at all good for two page LOs. I get my 8X8 albums at Hobby Lobby, don't remeber the brand and they seem fine. They are often on sale and there are lots of colors and styles. I haven't seen any ring binders in that size. If you have a 12X12 ring binder you like I would try to contact that company to see if they have anything similar in 8x8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debilou Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 Pioneer has a GREAT selection of all size binders, in many different styles... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScrapGirlsRo Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 I've actually bought them at Target and Walmart and they were true to size. I bought one at a craft store but I was looking specifically for ones on sale because the Target and Walmart purchases were less money - even though the albums from Target were made by major paper manufacturers. I've also purchased 8.5x8.5 at Target so just watch the size carefully. If you have a printer that will print edge to edge, it doesn't matter which one you have. I have one and I get photo paper and print them out at 8.5x8.5 just fine. Hope that helps some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MargotW Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 I use Pioneer 8 x 8 which are very nice. For my 12 x 12 LOs, I use a Hiller 3 ring binder from WE R Memory Makers. It is a great binder and they also have good page protectors. A C Moore is now carrying the binders and page protectors which is nice with the 40% off coupons! lol I would hope that they will make an 8 x 8 binder especially with the popularity of that size.

HeidiD Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 K&Company are the only company I know of that makes the 8.5x8.5 albums. They are beautiful albums, but I only use them for specific albums (weddings, gift albums, etc.) because I have to know ahead of time to print the layouts in that slightly larger size. Try We R Memory Keepers albums for ring-bound 8x8. I think they have both ring- and post-bound styles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BayGirl22 Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Thanks Everyone. The one I got was K&Company - too bad the size is off, the album colors perfectly match the bridesmaid dresses & flowers of the bride I'm making the album for. Unfortunately I am in the process of moving so my printers are packed and I already had the LO's printed 8x8 at Costco. I'm glad to hear this is not a common problem. Now I have an excuse to go out shopping for another one. There's a brand new Joann Fabrics that I love to visit because all the paper scrapping stuff is so nice and pretty..... I just have to resist buying any of it now that I'm digital. Amy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
