New bracket-album - S4O-friendly AND Basic Grey chipboard album questions...

[Jill D-Zines]

Hi Ladies! I finished a new bracket-album last night, with my "Whisper-Soft" kit, and it is S4O-friendly! :D

Here is preview (linked to the bracket-album in my store at ScrapDish)

OK - So my question is this: Are the chipboard albums something that you would like more quick-pages for, for using for your S4O clients? They are really cute, relatively inexpensive (really, actually pretty cheap when compared with bound books!) and they've got several varieties of these cool little albums (look HERE) (http://www.basicgrey.com/catalog/index.php?cPath=51)


Would you guys use more of these albums? (I particularly like the scalloped album and the luggage-tag album - which is actually bigger that I thought it would be!) They are all in the neighborhood of 6 inches by 5-6 inches in size. Cuz I'm thinking I'll make some more of these, if they will actually sell. ;)

And if you would use these, which style (bracket, scalloped, etc.) would you be most likely to use?

How about brag-books? Do you sell any of those? Would you use brag-book quick-page albums?

TIA for any input! Looking forward to hearing your thoughts! :clap

I've been lucky enough to get a close up peek and this is one GORGEOUS album :)

About the other varieties, I love the luggage tag shape too. Once made up, all these little BG shaped albums do look scrumptious, very unusual and make a fabulous gift. I'm completely addicted.

I think this would be a fun product to add to what I offer to clients and customers.

Anyone know where I can get basic gray albums for a good price? I'd want to play with it a bit before I made any final decisions. I like the scalloped one too - probably would try the bracket and scallop ones before any of the others.

Regardless of whether I add them to what I offer, I think they are adorable, and your quick pages look wonderful, Jill. I would definitely use them for gifts, even if I decided it was too labor-intensive or cost prohibitive to try and sell them.

These type of albums would be great for shower gifts or grandma brag books. I wonder if it would work to partially adhere a quick page to an album page, so non-digi folks could slide in a picture and finish it. (like for a baby album)?

I ordered mine online, for $5.99 each, plus shipping. I bought the bracket-album, scalloped-album and the luggage-tag album (which was bigger than I expected - which is nice!) But I bet you could get them cheaper at "real-live" (not website) Michael's or Hobby Lobby when they have 40% off coupons (pretty often). I'm not sure if $5.99 is good or not - but if people want me to, I can post that link, and I can contact the lady and see if she might offer a $1 coupon or something... ?

I think that sounds a reasonable price, though everything is so expensive this side of the pond that US prices always look reasonable LOL. I bought my albums from www.scrapmalin.fr and paid 8.50 Euros, which is about $12 a piece. ScrapMalin are usually cheaper than LSS, if you can find one that has what you want, so I don't think I paid over the odds for this market. If I could get them at half the price like you Jill, I would be surely overrun with them by now :)
