Creating your own album...binding methods/alternative methods anybody?

[r. franks]

<p>I would like to create an album to showcase my portfolio at wedding consultations. I could pay $200 + by going through other album designers, but was wondering if anybody has any suggestions or methods for creating your own album. The pages should be fairly simple, I do need to find someone that can do double sided photo quality thicker pages, but what about the binding and the cover? I know there's got to be some creative methods out there. I would like to basically create a flush mount album instead of trying to showcase my work in a walmart "slide in the photo" album. If anybody out there can share their experience and different DIY techniques, please share the wealth of info! Please list materials needed, where to get them, techniques and tips. Show me how crafty you guys are! Thanks! Rachel</p>
