Wrinkled page protectors

Linda, I don't know where you live, but with all the storms in the midwest and southeast lately, you may have more moisture in your house than you realize. I know that my dehumidifier has been working overtime. smiles, Myssi

To answer some of the questions...
No, the albums were not kept anywhere hot. They were on a shelf in our house.
We live in the Pacific NW, so it is wet here, but not overly humid.

At first I suspected it was the glue, as sfmadrigal mentioned. But the newest pages to have this problem have nothing in them and basically have not been touched.

If these protectors are so sensitive and cannot withstand being in my house without wrinkling, then I don't want them!

If you put a page that is not entirely dry in the protector, that causes wrinkling. I used to use a glue that would cause that. I would have to leave the pages out over night to dry and that took care of the problem. If your books are being exposed to any type of dampness or moisture that would cause it.

Were they kept somewhere hot? car? outside?

I may try that, they're ruined anyway--can't hurt.

But they are not "wrinkled" like they got folded or bent, they are warped and out of shape. And these protectors come with a backing sheet inside.

Actually, taking the blow dryer to the page protectors that are wrinkled may be your solution. I think the heat would warm up the plastic a bit, and make it easier to smooth out. I think that once the page is slid inside, it would also help, because it would "spread out" the protector to fit the page.

I'm new to this board (and relatively new to scrapbooking too).
I have a question for the masses of more experienced scrappers out there. I searched for this topic and didn't find anything.

My grade-school aged daughters have been scrapbooking longer than I have.
Recently we've had a problem with our page protectors "wrinkling."
It's a little hard to explain... but I would imagine if you took a hair dryer and held it to a page, it would make the page look like this. Some pages are completely wrinkled and others have only spots.

The latest problem is very baffling. I added brand new pages with protectors to my daughter's book and the next day the protectors were wrinkled. Nothing has even been put in those pages yet!

I contacted the manufacturer, who was very gracious in replacing the pages. But that still leaves the problem.

This has happened with 3 different scrapbooks of ours (2 different manufacturers). We don't store them in a place that would cause any damage.

Anyone else experience such a thing or have any idea what causes it?

P.S. Great site! I can see myself spending A LOT of time here!!
