...memory album? I am planning on creating an 8 1/2' x 11' memory album in some sort of 3 ring binder form for my boyfriend for his graduaton and birthday. I want to be able to print sheets of paper from computer, as well as photographs, and place them in protective sheets inside of the binder. Are there any particular stores that anyone can think of that I could find these supplies? Preferably a pretty good quantity of stuff like that?Also, any suggestions on making this album, or something neat to add to it?

fun! any craft store has supplies for the pages and an office supply store will have the page protecters cheaper than a craft store. (but shh! you didn't hear it from me)I work at JoAnns Crafts so you can just hit me up in an email for any advice on products and I'll be glad to help.

Wal mart has some craft stuff try there.

Any craft store will have that size, since 8.5 x 11 is a standard size. Try Michael's or AC Moore. Also, dollar Tree stores have pretty good paper and some embellishments. You could ask his family or friends for pictures of him with them, I am sure they would be glad to help!you could also add "blank" pages, with dates on them (like Xmas 2008, New Year's Eve 2008, etc) and make the pages after the event for him to add to the book. Ask his family for any school pics they have from him growing up, so you can tell a story of his school years. You can also do the same for his b'days....1st, 5th, 10th, etc. You can also google "scrapbook page ideas" to get some layout ideas and sayings to use on the pages.Good luck!
