All of these pages came in the album looking just like this (this is the Sunshine Getaway that was available when F2F won the Most Innovative Product Award in 2013 -- I am just now using it!) -- all I had to do was tape my photos! I can't tell you how liberating this was for me and how satisfying to get our 25th Anniversary trip into an album now so that we can all relive those memories immediately of the amazing trip our family took in November. This is a game-changer! Just watch my piles of "albums I want to complete" disappear this year! Yes, yes, yes!!!!
You can completely stick your photos onto the spaces where photos go our you can "color outside the lines" by sticking your photos anywhere you want on the page - it still looks GREAT!! And by "taping" I mean please, please you want to use photo-safe, permanent tape like Tape Runner.
Notice the 2 similar poses on the page above? My Jelly-in-the-Middle daughter recreated the above photo from when she was 8 years old (our last time in Hawaii in 2006). I found the original and added it to this album so we could see the comparison side-by-side of how much she's grown! Too cute!
Again, you can stick your photos exactly where they are "supposed" to go, or you can do your own thing. Either way your album is going to look FABULOUS!!
Be sure to add some journaling with a photo-safe pen!
I even included a map which I taped to the back inside cover. If I want, I can add Slide-in Pocket Pages for extra photos or memorabilia. You can also tape memorabilia directly onto the pages alongside your photos...the Page Protectors will protect them from contacting your photos and the buffered, lignin-free pages won't be damaged by memorabilia.
For all the money we spent on this 25th anniversary trip, it's only the memories that we get to keep. Having this completed photo album will give us tangible memories for years to come! We have passed it all around as everyone enjoys looking at it. Plus it's just our best photos so we don't have to wade through hundreds of pictures on a screen...we can relive all our best shots in a special, simple Fast2Fabulous album! My Review of Ahni & Zoe: LOVE IT!!!!!!!
I just wanted to thank you for your information. I asked for some info on all of this 2 weeks ago and haven't been able to get solid feedback or information. I do have a question for you and I hope that you will be able to answer it: it's about the pages. You said they are "buffered". I've seen that phrasing on a lot of the other A&Z facebook pages but when these info sheets also talked about stickers and paper, little red flags popped up telling me that this info is from when it was CM and *not* Ahni and Zoe. Does the re-vamped company Ahni & Zoe say--in writing--that the pages are the same high-quality, acid-free, lignin-free, buffered type of pages that CM made? "Photo-safe" and "archival", to me, are just buzz words that any company will put on their product without actually having any high standards for how safe or how archival. Buffered, acid-free, lignin-free is why I bought CM in the first place, but I can't commit to A&Z (even though I'm starting to fall in love with the new albums) until I have that reassurance that the pages have the same qualities that I loved about CM's pages. Can you help put my mind at ease?
ReplyDeleteThank you for your comments! Yes! One of the Tent Cards that came with my Kit and that I am encouraged to display at my parties says, "CAN'T BEAT OUR QUALITY - Our products are acid-free, lignin-free and buffered; Unlike most of our competitors, our products are cellulose nitrate and PVC free to keep your photos safer, longer; We've set our product safety standards higher than the law demands. It's something we're proud of - like the fact that we're made in the U.S.A." :)
