Recycling an 'old-style' photo album: A lot of people don't print their digital photos, so this type of photo album is easily found at yard sales and thrift shops. These binder-type albums feature pages of cellophane or plastic pockets where photos would be slid into. The pockets are perfect for those odd little bits of paper and thin embellishments to be put into; they will be protected and easily visible to browse through when you need to find them for a project. The binders are easily stored on a shelf.
