How to create a photo album with multiple sized pictures?

Question

I want to make a photo album for my special/professionally taken family pictures. My other albums (I have one for school and one for dance) are 5x7 and they're great. The dance one is full of nothing but 5x7 photos, but the other one has a few pictures that are 4x6. Now, a few pictures doesn't bother me, but with the album I'm trying to create, I need help. I have everything from 8x10 to 2x3, and I want to keep all of the pictures in the same album. Is there a type of album where I can put all sizes of photos in it without having a ton of empty space around the pictures or damaging the photos themselves? Please keep the price in mind, as I don't want to spend a ton on a photo album. Also, no online except for Amazon and eBay. Thanks! :)

Answer 1

You get what you pay for and you have to be rich to wear cheap shoes (buy cheap, buy often).



About the "cheapest way" is to find a scrap booking or photo album with replaceable pages. Then get acid free/lignan free (also called archival) photo blank "filler pages" and some photo "corners" http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/search?Ntt=photo+corners&N=0&InitialSearch=yes&sts=ma and arrange/mount the photos to your liking







EDIT: Wile Selina is correct about "magnetic" pages....they are NOT magnetic. They use mild adhesives... and the cheaper ones use PVC covers and acidic adhesives...both of which are detrimental to photographs. IF you must use that style, make sure it specifies PVC free as well as acid free and lignan free.

Answer 2

Just go to Amazon and look for albums with "magnetic" pages, instead of pockets. The bigger the album pages, the more freedom you have in arranging various photos together.



Example: http://www.amazon.com/Pioneer-8-Inch-Postbound-Leatherette-Magnetic/dp/B001VGE5NU/ref=sr_1_41?ie=UTF8&qid=1340829686&sr=8-41&keywords=photo+album

Answer 3

I think you will have to print them out separately and chose a different size each time in the printer dialogue box. That's what I do anyway.
