Your Self Designed Album Pages

Well done BeeSee!

That's about as professional home made page as I've ever seen.

Super, 'bee. I could flip through an album like that for hours.

BeeSee, how you do that?

Very nice, BeeSee.

I like it, I like it!

Everybody has great pages here, thanks for showing!

I did the page in AutoCAD and the watermark images I scanned the actual reverse of the stamps and enhanced the watermarks with Paint Shop Pro.

To rod222,

I read your post about using quadrille pages. I would be interested to know how you get quadrille pages and text at the same time, if that is what you do. Thanks for the input.

Yeah I thought of that to. I would hate to number all of my boxes then later have to redo them over. With the older revenue stamps it does not seem like it would be as much of a problem. With the US stamps I could see that being a problem. I buy pages already made up for them. Its the the revenue stamps that I have decided to do this with. I did not want to spend the money on a new set of albums just for the revenues. I figured make the pages as I get the stamps. If it gets to much of a task I will have to sweet talk the wife into a new album hehe.

G'day Joel,
I use plain quadrille, sort the stamps to hinge
on my desk, then hinge to the page when sorted.

All my text is pencil, hand written after hingeing.
I have adopted the Richard Witt style "organised haphazard"?

If I use (which I have on occaisions) typed text
I just use paragraphs, and leave spaces between to
mount the stamps.

Not everybody's cup of tea

sounds simple enough. Is this all done on quadrille pages? Do you purchase the quadrille pages or make them up yourself?

Acid free A4 paper, Joel

template free from printaruler.com
graph paper with 5mm grid
Simple as that.
My grid is very light, and just crossing the fingers
it will not damage the stamps.

rod222,
Thanks for all the information. This template works just fine and I appreciate your effort.
www.iswsc.org/iswsc_page.shtml This is a link to a set of free album pages that I have been using for a while. Give it a try. Hopefully, you can access this page from this information. If not< I can try another way.

Thanks Joel, that worked fine.
A tad heavy for mine, although I could employ
those for my pre decimal mint Australian, when I use mounts.

Just be cognisant that my other pages I use and have shown
may have issues, I don't like to give any suggestions
that may harm your stamps. I am happy to take the
risk with my own used and cinderellas, but other people
that's another thing.
I like my grid pages because they do not dominate,
and the ink is extremely light.
Cheers.

rod222,
Thanks for your input and direction today. Yes, I believe that I want keep it simple and concentrate on stamps and cover collecting rather than albums. Some items should be mounted with a handwritten write up and others should have a typed written entry. And of course that is the collectors choice. It is nice to hear from someone who sees things in the same way.
