Spbapr Scrapbook 8x8 Inch Scrapbook Album,Thick Kraft Paper Personalized DIY Scrap Book Photo Albums 40 Pages Memory Book for Couple Wedding Famil...

Got this for a book club activity and it was perfect!! The pages are nice and sturdy, and the book as a whole is simple but gorgeous. Definitely will be ordering again for the next time we finish a series!

Unlike another photo album I reviewed, this album had a much sturdier cover. The only thing I would have liked is for the coil not to be silver metal, but solid grey or even solid black or white. The image on the product page shows a white coil, so it seems that the product wasn't shipped as described on the page, regretfully. So I took a star away for that reason. There were some minor and small creases on the back cover along the bottom edge, but not that big of a deal. Other than that, the craftsmanship is good. The pages are made of a nice heavy smooth paper stock. I like that they offer it the item many different colors.

This is such a great small 8x8 20 page scrapbook perfect for a multitude of projects! I needed a smaller scrapbook for making a memory book for our beloved dog that passed away recently. This scrapbook worked out perfectly. The pages are made of good quality and thickness paper that is acid free. I would definitely recommend this great small 8x8 20 page scrapbook perfect for a multitude of projects!

The paper in these books is surprisingly good for a variety of art media, so long as that media is not very wet. Pros: It takes Posca pens like a dream, basically no pilling. Colored pencils layer more readily than expected, especially with a soft, waxy lead. Neons and brights really pop on the gray paper. Neocolor II soluble crayons also seem to perform well. Cons: This paper warps with more than a touch of water. The warping in photo 2 was caused by the gouache, which I intentionally made very wet. The Neocolor II and Inktense swatches at the bottom did not cause that warping. Inktense leaves stains in the paper after it's activated, so be careful with your mark-making if you go that route.

I ordered this scrapbook to use as a memory book for some of my drawings. I wanted to be able to draw with permanent and acrylic paint markers and to place photographs in this book. I was disappointed in how the manufacturer packaged the scrapbook. It was simply wrapped in plastic, but I was lucky. The corners were not dented. The cover is rugged and durable. The 20 pages of paper inside are thick enough to hold up to my initial drawing with acrylic paint markers. The paper did not bleed through and did not warp. If the paper is strong enough for these mediums, it will certainly hold up to pencil, pen, stamping, etc. I did not attempt to paint on the paper with watercolor or acrylic paint. Washi tape is easily applied to the paper and comes right off if desired. Photographs will be easily added to scrapbook pages. Considering how inexpensive this scrapbook is, it is a significant bargain. It is highly recommended.
