Does anyone have a Vicki Boutin or other American Crafts album? They have two rings.
dawnnikol and I are wondering if the AE page protectors will fit inside.
We know AE fits in Simple Stories.
I've never bought an album from an American Crafts line before. And I have tons of leftover AE page protectors.
Thanks!

What size are the binders in question? The AE page protectors have either 6 holes (6x8, 10x8) or 4 holes (6x12, 9x12 or 12x12) and if the Vicki Boutin and AC binders have 2 rings they may not work.

They have two rings. Just wondering if they're in the same place as the middle holes in the AE page protectors. For example, you can use AE page protectors in Simple Stories albums because the two holes line up. Otherwise, we're going to have to use washi tape and punch new holes in our AE page protectors so we don't have to buy new ones. I do that with my October Afternoon ones because I have a few left in an interesting format. It's annoying but not a game changer. Plus the Paige Evans album comes with 15 so that's a pretty good start. I don't use very many page protectors anyway. |

AC have used the standard placement for their albums up until now whether for WRMK, Becky Higgins, the AC brand, their SevenPaper collab with Studio Calico, etc. However, there is a negative comment on SB.com for last year's Evergreen and Holly binder from Vicki Boutin. The customer mentions that the spacing between the 2 rings is not industry standard and they were unable to find extra page protectors that fit. If AC got the same ring system for their Paige Evans + new VB Christmas lines, you're looking at A LOT of punching. ETA: www.scrapbook.com/store/ac-34013721.html |

I had the issue mentioned with the Evergreen & Holly album. I needed a few more for my album. Nothing I tried fit. I ended up using washi from the collection on the holes end and punching the holes into it. It looked so cute that I ended up doing this to some more pages that DID fit correctly! It really added a cute touch to the pages. So if you have to go that route, it will look intentional!

It's crazy they don't use the same spacing as most of the other brands. Wow. Thank you! |

It's interesting this pack doesn't come with the 12 2x2 squares. There are 3 in the Sugarplum Wishes album. I always use at least 1 or 2 per project. |

I have a 2X2 square thing from simple stories that I use with scissors and I fill as I go. Get something cool, cut it out and stick it in the pocket. For a daily album, that's a day, easy. Save a square for the number and save a square for an embellishment. Throw them at me!! lol |
