New Handbooks - Your Questions Answered!
Tags:When the Handbook album system was conceptualized, it was designed to fill a need in the marketplace for pocket-style scrapbooking that wasn't intimidating to complete. We designed a 6x8" album with a thick spine to hold lots of pages and memories, along with divided page protectors to house journaling cards in traditional 4x3, 4x6 and square sizes. As we received feedback from you, we realized there was a need for an additional size for larger projects. In addition, we wanted to improve the quality of the 6x8" albums and make them more versatile for those who love planners.
early 2015
We compiled the features of both albums below for easy comparison (and of course so you can plan ahead for which system you'd like to use in the New Year!).
Release Date
Let's talk colors
-
9x12" Handbooks
- Fi
- First Release Pleather Albums: White & Gold
Additional Questions
Will the page protectors for the new 6x8" handbooks fit the 2014 December Daily® album?
Actually, no, since this year's December Daily® albums use a 4 ring system versus 6 rings. The existing 6x8" page protectors in our shop will work though!
- Yes. The albums are unique to each individual shop. More information about A Beautiful Mess albums will be released in early 2015. The page protectors will work across the board though!
We hope you're as thrilled as we are to get these new albums into your hands in the coming months.

Does early 2015 mean January or just within the first 3 months of the year?

Is there an ETA for the second release of 6x8 colors? I'm not really into the black or woodgrain...

@teacupfaery - yes. The page protectors shown will be available in individual packs of a single style so you can choose the ones you like best.

@sweetsierra - it means we can't be too specific ;) This port congestion is killer. But, if it helps you infer a date, we actually anticipated they would arrive by now.

@avec_la_fleur - not a formal date yet, but about 3 months after the initial release.

@seermouse - no. Her planner follows a different ring system. These Handbooks work with popular systems like Filofax and Kikki.K

will the 6x8 be back to the thicker spine? I need more 6x8 albums but the thicker spine. I don't like how narrow the new ones are.

This is great news! Unfortunately, I will be waiting a year to convert. I have too many 12x12 pocket pages to not use them. But at least I'll see how everyone else designs with the new size before I jump in.
