Hello!
I’m visiting a friend 3 hours from home, or I’d just check my own albums myself.😝
I’m starting to plan out how I want to tackle a yuuuuge project- a once in a lifetime trip to Europe. I’ve come up with a couple different ways to organize/tackle it, and I’m curious as to about how many pages usually fit in a 12x12 album. I favor the strap binding as well as 3 ring binder type. It’s making me crazy that I can’t just walk into the family room and look, lol!
I tend to scrap with several paper layers, stickers, and I guess the only dimensional stuff I use are thickers and enamel dots…so fairly flat and compact pages.
Roughly how many pages do you comfortably store in strap and 3 ring albums?

I use 12x12 3 ring binders and I just counted one of my albums. 64 pages so 32 page protectors.

I have a very full strap album in front of me and it has 39 pages and only about half have the protective sleeve on them. I suppose it depends how thick your pages are, but I think this album has a few too many pages-it closes, but the spine covering keeps falling from its spine.

I'm about the same. Just want to add there's nothing wrong with making a great vacation into two volumes. I've done that twice for two vacations that were 21 and 28 days long. I don't think I could've done the vacations justice without my journaling and story telling.

I have decided to just use the 10 or 12 sleeves provided in the album. I find if I add more the album itself looks not so good. I can always go album 1 and album 2.

Same as others, for large projects/long vacations, I've done 2 albums. I use strap hinge albums too, and ~30 pages fit comfortably, although there is definitely space to expand to ~40.

This question is one I can answer confidently. I use 25-27 pages in each book (so 50-54 single layouts). My pages are multilayered and often have dimensional items on most of the pages. Sometimes I can slip in an extra few PL type pages if there are multiple pictures I want in the album for a specific layout.
