Very nice work! I like the balance between stamps, white space and the info you supply for each stamp. Excellent job.

Super creation! These are exactly what pages should like like - simple, but elegant, not too busy. With fewer stamps per page, your eye doesn't wander around looking for a place to stop. Your eye tends to be drawn from light line to dark, so edge lines actually draw the eye inward to the stamps.

Finding the stamps to fill them has been an issue. Stamps of former Soviet Union sections don't seem to be easy to find. The Ukrainian Post Office still sells some stamps, but the ones that are out of stock are difficult to find.

Ok, now that I have tried to actually mount stamps, I learned the boxes to put the stamps in were too small. So, I redid 1992 and mounted the stamps. I'll redo the other pages and repost, hopefully tomorrow.

Ok, all the pages I have made so far have had the boxes resized to fit the stamp and the mount. I have also taken all the files and moved them onto their own dedicated web hosting space. You can see all the pages I have made so far, as well as the Mystic Heirloom modifications I have been working on by going to http://www.stamphacks.com. For now, it's just a list of files. I hope to get a Drupal front end up at some point when life isn't so hectic and there are less stamps to mount.

So, I finished 1995 today. Not as happy with this one. I'd welcome feedback.

1996 is done! Slowly but surely, the album moves along.

Very nice work.
I can see I may have to consider getting a laser printer.

Yeah. We had one break at work. They let me take it home. The main tray was fine. It was tray 3 that was broken. So, I just took the tray off. New fuser in it, new toner. I'm printing out sheets like a madman.

If you need sheets printed and mailed, maybe we can work something out.
