Making My Own Album

How much is Steiner? I have been to the site a few times and can't seem to locate a price?

Button right in the center that says "How much does it cost?"

Price has gone up to $40...still great deal

I click on that button and it doesn't respond. I hate Safari! Thank you.

I recently bought Steiner pages on CD and have been happily transferring my worldwide collection from a hodge-podge of old albums, binders, stock books and glassines.

If Steiner didn't create a page for the stamps I'm currently transferring (minor varieties, Scott unlisted material, etc.), I create my own pages. I use Open Office Presentation (equivalent to PowerPoint) to create the pages. It usually takes me less than five minutes to create a page.

Here are some examples:









I don't use hinges, mounts only. I cut the mount from strips to completely cover the rectangle printed on the page. The mount is slightly oversized so as to not squash the perf tips.

I hope this helps.

Robert,
Its a shame that all the work you put in to adding that text in each stamp box is covered up when you add the stamp to the page

These are nice pages. I am impressed. My wife and I started playing with power point and trying to come up with something. Is the program you used the free one from Adobe?

Jay,

Not sure who you are asking...

I use PowerPoint for my pages after converting the Steiner PDFs.

I use OpenOffice, a free download from Oracle. I hear LibreOffice is better, another free download.

OpenOffice is not that great . LibreOffice Draw is the best tool to do it. PowerPoint is design for make digital presentation . I do have a better option since I have the pagemaker version of Steiner pages so I can edit the master with pagemaker and that change all the other pages in 1 shoot. The problem is that Steiner stop to provide them fews years ago and pagemaker just work on Windows XP ( in. VM in my case)

Some reports fonts problem with draw... Well it's an easy fix

Swell, and to be even more difficult I use Mac. I cannot believe MS doesn't have template for Stamp Album pages.

At AmeriStamp Expo later this month in Altlana, I am presenting a workshop on Making Your Own Stamp Album. I hope many in this group can attend. The PowerPoint for this presentation will be available after the show. I will also present it at NY2016 in May and StampShow in August in Portland, OR.

Sweet. Wish I could attend Michael.

Mbloom0947, I hope to meet you at the show and check out your great work! I will be manning the PNC3 booth so there won't be much time but who knows!
