Making Your Own Album Pages For Your Collection?

Blaamand quick question is each virtual page a single Powerpoint slide?

Gene - correct. (so 1 Powerpoint presentation for each country, made up of a number of single slides)

Nice layouts and background images Jon.

Thanks Brian

Blaamand, yes I really like your pages as well. I wish I was just as creative.

One question though, how do you create the "stamp tags" associated with the Vario stock sheets? What software do you use and can you provide a template?

Regards,
erthur

I use PowerPoint also. Set the "slide" size equal to the size of the paper you will print on. Each of these pages is "virtual" with you he stamps/covers scanned in. I pull the stamp images and print the frames/text/other elements.

I have a wide format printer for the larger and double pages.
Hope that helps.

If website owners would like to develop modern, responsive 'exhibit' webpage (pages that can be viewed by all internet user and not just the 45% that use a desktop computers) they should try WowSlider, http://wowslider.com/
It is free and does not require coding experience.

@erthur - thank you for the cudos

I simply create the tags in excel and print on white paper with a normal 'household' copymachine/printer. This method has already been discussed quite a bit in this thread:

Please read more there so I do not need to repeat myself

Naturally I can provide a template - happy to share, check your email.

Chip!
Absolutely awesome work and material - thanks for sharing!


...now, what's your street adress ?

@Don - this suggested 'wowslider' - I did not understand exactly the concept or the idea. Is that for creating your own website for presenting slides of your own images? If so - must those images be stored at a filesharing webserver elsewhere, like photobucket, Imgur etc?

Hi Blaamand,
This is for displaying only (not printed pages).

You simply load your exhibit images into WOW and it generates a folder with a html page. The html page can then be displayed 'stand alone' on any computer. For example, you could send me the folder and I could than display your exhibit on my computer. And for any website owner, they can simply copy the folder to their website and it would display the exhibit for anyone to view online.

Our fellow SCF member Hal is sending me his US Prexie exhibit images and put together this demonstration which illustrates how it looks.

The beauty here is that it displays on any size screen dynamically. If a user wants to see the high resolution image they simply click on the page and it will open in a new window.

This took me about 10 minutes to do.

Thanks for your explanation Don. Hals presentation is awesome, and serves as a good demonstration. Nice tool for any website owner

I don't own most of them anymore.
For the 12c collection, you'll have to visit Siegel Auctions.

For early Canada and its Provinces I decided to do my own pages instead of putting the stamps in my Scott International Album Part 1.
I use AlbumGen which I bought with several other software, all tied to (17-06-18) Not Allowed - Auto-Removed (my inventory software). So easy to import your stamps, add text, images etc. I use heavier paper for the pages (170 g/m2 - 8 mil). Uni-Safe black stamp mounts are used.

What a lovely page René! Looks quite classy with the images of the missing stamps in each box - a decent home for your newly acquired NB stamps.

I am curious - why do you have two boxes for #11 ?
