Review on Vintage Scrapbook Photo Album: Perfect Craft Paper 📷 Father's Day & Valentines Day Gift (10x7 in, Black) by Carrie Spencer

Bought to make a photo album for my boyfriend for his 2 year anniversary. I was looking for an affordable scrapbook/photo album hybrid and this looks like what I wanted. I bought it in black and also bought metal markers for signing and decorating. The album was made very cheaply; One of the rings is bent and does not automatically fit into the corresponding hole, so it is difficult to open the album and lay out the pages. One of the corners is slightly dented, but that doesn't bother me as it's not too noticeable. But I think it's ok for my needs. Wouldn't recommend for a project that needs a lot of space as it's a smaller album. Two photos 4x6, 20 sheets (40 pages) fit comfortably on the page. Of course, if you crop or overlay your photos, you could include more photos. I will say this - the quality of the sites is PHENOMENAL. As a 100% paper geek (I have to buy notebooks from the store so I can feel the pages - are they too scratchy, too white, what's the cover like, etc.) trust me - the cardboard pages are killer. . Very, very thick cardboard, nice and smooth, nice. The outside quality (2 stars) does not match the inside quality (5 stars). But metal markers look amazing with the black option. I'm terrible at decorating with letters, so don't make the same mistakes I did! :) UPDATE: This cover is awful. The binding pins do not go through the holes properly and it is very difficult to turn the pages properly. metal binding CHEAP.
