Photo album advice?
 
So for the past few months I have taken the roughly forty-kajillion digital photos on my PC and assembled them into about 50 beautiful future photo-album pages. They are 8.5" X 11", portrait. Each page has multiple photos on it, resized, touched up, cropped, adjusted. Just PERFECT!

My idea was that I would just slip these into a photo album. You know the kind; the ones with self-adhesive, transparent, two-sided pages.

HA! I am Mr. Stupid Man!

It would appear that 8.5X11 portrait is not a size the photo-album industry recognizes. 12X12 and 8X10 rule.

I found some single-sided pages for 8.5X11, but no double sided. (And these are for "scrap-booking" but I don't give a rat's patootie what they are for, as long as they work.)

And these pages are freakin' expensive! Jeez! 50 cents per page.

Sooooo...does anyone have a cheap source for these things, preferably 2-sided. Or is there another method of making this photo album that I am not aware of? I found a few on-line "we print your album for you" sites, but they were not in the 8.5X11 portrait format.

Staples and other office super stores have 'presentation' binders that hold those sizes and they sell the extra inserts for them. I use different ones for portfolios. :) And their best feature? They're CHEAP!

I think Costco still carries albums & refills around the holidays. $20/50 or so?
