What sets the American Crafts Modern Album apart is that it's completely customizable. Decorate the cover of this 12" x 12" album any way you like using papers, stamps, paints, inks, ribbons or other embellishments. Make it unique, like your layouts. The heavy cover is made of pressboard, strong enough to hold even heavier embellishments. The interlocking style of the D-ring album gives you freedom to add pages when you finish them and not have to worry about scrapping chronologically. Page protectors not included.
The page protectors that are compatible with this album are:
Universal 12 x 12 Page Protectors
American Crafts 12 x 12
I have just recently purchsed my first Customizable Modern Album and I am loving it! It is also the first D-ring album I've ever used. Through the years I have progressed from strap-hinge albums to post bound and now I have found a new format to love. The D-ring album is so simple to use. I am not a chronological scrapper so I have always struggled to add and rearrange the pages in my other albums. This takes all the frustration out of adding new pages and rearranging existing pages. The album also holds a lot of pages and they are easy to flip through and view.
What sets this album apart from other D-ring albums is that you can customize the covers any way you like! Just one more opportunity to showcase your creativity and it makes the album a one-of-a-kind! Customizing the covers is as much fun as filling it with amazing layouts!
One suggestion I have is to use Mod Podge to adhere papers to your album covers. Spread the Mod Podge on the chipboard cover as well as on the paper surface you want to adhere. You have to work kind of quickly, but this method helps greatly to reduce bubbling in the paper. Paint works fantastically on these covers also.

I've just started using these D-ring albums and I love the freedom it has given me. If you do not scrap chronologically, this is the album for you. It's so easy to pop your layouts in and out and move them around. You can mix page protector sizes, which gives a whole other dimension to your scrapbooking. You are no longer bound by the one size of your album!
I was a little concerned that the space in between the pages would make viewing double page layouts awkward, but it does not. The page protectors are made so that you just need to pull the pages up together slightly and view a seamless double page layout.
I recommend giving this album a try, especially if you scrap out-of-order, like me!
This album is much easier to handle than the ones with the little posts. I now have 70 page protectors in it. I am pretty sure I'll be able to get at least 120 of the kind of printed layouts I get into it, hoping for 140! Mine are not the standard hard glossy photo.
On the rings, they are manageable. It doesn't pop open! No struggling to try to put an extender on!
I love it and may do something artful to put on the cover!
Used in this project: NANNIE WOULDN'T DO IT THIS WAY!
This is definitely my favorite album to date! I bought it at a great price and customize it the way I wanted to.
I recommend this to chronological and non-chronological scrapper. You have the freedom to move your layout around with out having to remove the pages from the page protector, if you don't want to.
I just finished filling this out for our 2007 album and I was able to fit 72!!! PAGES!!! that's 2 layout in one page protector. I didn't have to worry weather my pages are to bulky. They fit perfectly. My album is a bit heavy and bulky, but I'm really happy to tell a whole year of stories in one album!
Planning on customizing my 2nd one and filling it up:)
I've had this album for about a year now. It is FABULOUS! The quality is wonderful. I've traveled to a number of crops with it and it travels with me. It has withstood all the banging around it gets from traveling. It holds a ton of pages and I like how you can change up the cover to suit your mood, the season, or a special occasion. This is a great product. You will not regret this purchase.
It is a great blank canvas to start a scrapbook but not so good for the shipping. When I recieved this item the corners were bent and there was a crease in the back. But over all it is a great scrapbok.
This is a sturdy three-ring binder but the unfinished 'customizable' edges are prone to easy wear and tear. The layers of raw material that make up the cardboard are exposed, they crumple after minimal use.
The front and back of this scrapbook is literally cardboard - not what I was expecting.
I love these albums there are endless ways to use and decorate. The outside of the album when finished gives a taste of what is to come inside.
Great customer service...

Yes, the 12 x 12 album has 3 rings and the smaller 6 x 6 album has 2 rings. Hope this helps!

It has been sometime since I asked about the page protectors, I cannot remember the solution I came up with.

What do you do about edges? Do you just cover the surface and leave the edges raw? Do you cover the edges and matt the inside ala a book style?

I like to leave my albums as is. I like the 'raw' feel of them. I then just use thickets to stick on a title.

I bought a similar album some years ago and want to buy another. Mine measures 12 X15w. Is the 12X12 the same one? I'm guessing that the cloth section is the additional 3" but it is not stated anywhere in the description of the album. Thank you!

How many pages will this hold? I would be putting in digital 12x12 pages that I have done.
Hi, good question! This will come with 10 12x12 page protectors, and I always purchase extra packages of protectors. I have several of these albums, and I pulled out one of the thicker (more filled) albums and counted the pages. I filled this one with 23 pages, which is 46 layouts. It's pretty full with this many pages, because I have traditional layouts in it with layering and dimensional embellishments. However, since you are putting digital pages in your album, I could easily imagine your being able to fit at least 25 pages (50 layouts), possibly more. It also depends on how full you like your album, as well; 25 pages should not stuff it too much, I don't think (when I lay my album down, the covers are perfectly level with the 2.5" spine). These albums are great because you can decorate the outside to your pleasure, but beware: when I put some on the shelf, they ended up ruining the covers from taking out/putting back; the friction between books would rip papers and stickers off. Lesson I learned: keep the decor simple, and make it as sturdy as possible (lacquer it, art finishing sprays, etc). Hope this helps!
