? about hybrid mini albums

[imwickedwitch]

For those of you who have done a hybrid mini album in chipboard, acrylic, or whatever, what adhesive did you use and did you print your album on photo paper? I am helpning DD do a CD album with the Beachy Keen CD album kit here and was wondering what to print it on and how to adhere it to the CD's. Any help would be greatly appreciated! TIA!

that sounds like fun to me. I can not help you with the problem, but I wish that I could. I love doing stuff with my kids and their kids.

I print on card stock if I would like a textured look or on photo paper when I want a clean look. I always just use double sided tape. I hope that helps

Sure, I've done a lot of hybrid albums. So far the best paper I've found to print on is the Premium Matte Photo paper. Right now my fav. is the staples brand. If you print it using your photo setting it really comes out great.
And I use any sort of tacky liquid adhesive that dries fast, my favs are:

and the similar one from scotch. They both work great.

Here is my most recent hybrid album using those products.

decided to check out the thread because I would love to do a hybrid mini album with my kiddies! will have to see what types of adhesive I can get round here, not many craft shops in the area, but may well order it online.
That album is gorgeous! My little ones aren't quite old enough to do the computer bit, so may get some quickpages, any suggestions for boys?

Great ideas. I have been wanting to do one of these mini albums for my mom.

Spray adhesive would work great as well. Depending on your medium.
