How do I put a scrapbook together?? - SBB Digital Scrapbooking Forums | Scrapbook-Bytes

I am in the process of making a scrapbook for my sister's 25th anniversary, and I am going to print out the pages (there will be 6 all together). Is that enough pages? I will be using my printer to print out the pages, but what do I buy to put them in? Are there special books? Do I 3 hole punch the pages and put them in a photo album? How do I do this?
Thanks!

you can go to your local craft or hobby store ( ie. hobby lobby, michaels, joann's, etc) or to a scrapbook store and by a scrapbook . pick one that is the same size as your pages you will be printing. you could also by a three ring binder and page protectors and slip your pages in there.

Yep, what she said, LOL. I would just like to add that there are many sizes of albums that are available at craft and scrapbooking stores. I prefer to order online. I like to order through www.scrapbook.com, and use mrs grossmans and color bok. I normally do 8x8 or 5x7 sizes. There are even 6x6 albums that would make great gifts (haven't bought one... yet) and I would imagine would come together quickly. All the albums that I have come with 20 page covers that will make a 40 page album. They come with white card stock that you can remove if you like, I leave it in there and just put a page on front and back, I don't glue but you can. Hope this helps. -Ali

There's so many ways you can do this including the one's above. I've been re-sizing my 12X12 LO's to 6X6 and printing them. I've got 6X6 albums with sheet protectors/page protectors. I just slide the pages in them.

You could also have them bound with the plastic binding at a copy store.

You could use a photo album if it fits the size you are scrapping. Shutterfly will produce a bound album with your 4X6 prints.
