Happy Friday, everyone! We hope you've enjoyed our reveal week! Today, we wanted to give you a closer look at something we shared earlier this week - our new Handbook line. These little albums will be perfect for recording everything from everyday moments to big events and vacations.
Our Handbook line has three albums, sized at 6x8 inches. This is such a great size - not so big it's overwhelming, and not so small that you feel like you need to leave things out. Each style has an embossed chipboard cover. They look fabulous as is or you could dress it up with mist, paint or ink. The spines are about 2.5in thick, so they'll hold a lot of memories!
Once you've picked an album, you can stick with the included page protectors (they come with 13, in a mix of styles, or pick up extra packages in whatever style you like best. The divided pages will make your album come together in a snap.
Our album inserts fit right into the binder rings, and are the perfect way to divide up your book while adding a little extra style. We've got three styles - each matches one of our new lines. Each set offers a variety of designs and features tabbed pages, diecut designs and folders. And in case you think these are just for albums, we can tell you that we've spotted these being put to use on our design team's pages as well!

We've also got journal cards (3x4 and 4x6) and stitched pockets that fit within the page protectors. You can stick with the same line as your album inserts, or mix and match for a personalized look.

Would you like to see these books in action? Three of our designers made Handbooks for our CHA booth - here's a little peek inside their albums! We'll be sharing the whole projects on our blog next week.
Geralyn Sy used her handbook to record some memories from her childhood :

I'd love to use the handbook to do both a Dec Daily when the time arrives, and a minibook for recording all the craziness of costuming for this summer's shows at the theatre where I work!
