Show your DIY album pages

I have not been to make any album pages since my last post in this thread way too many months ago. With me on medical leave until mid-January and my ability to sit in chairs for extended periods growing each day, I hope to remedy that situation.

Not exactly sure though what I will work on next. I have 4 good options

1) work on later years of Singapore to mount the years I have in stock books since I finished my first volumes ending in 1990 when I remounted my Dad's collection.

2) work on later years of Malaysia to mount the years I have in stock books since I finished my first volumes ending in 1990 when I remounted my Dad's collection.

3) Work on a stock book of Turkey 1962-2020 that I have built up the last few years after buying a couple collections and year sets. I have no Turkey volumes made and would need to decide if I want to start with Ottoman Empire (which will likely be a couple volumes on their own) or start with the Republic issues in 1920 with Turkey in Asia.

4) Finish up Canada and make pages for Canada Provinces, as I have some Newfoundland from my Dad's dealer stock still in his dealer book I need to mount.

Decisions Decisions!

I always struggle with pages where I have to turn what I'm wanting to display sideways... ahould I make the entire page landscape or do as you have done.

Nice write ups!

When I began making my pages, I mounted my covers in black Scott/Prinz mounts.



I still prefer the look of this, when I can get the perfect-sized mount and get it mounted perfectly. But therein lies the problem. Some of the covers are odd sizes for which it's impossible to find a mount that's the correct size, forcing me to put it in a mount that's 3-4mm too tall. And, some of the covers have just enough thickness that the mount ends up with this ugly lighter spot as the light from the scanner reflects off the non-flat surface:



And finally, handling mounts this large is a huge pain. It's almost impossible to get them all four corners mounted perfectly due to the size. My mild OCD couldn't take it.

So, I've recently switched to mounting smaller covers in the same 4"x6" pockets I use for postcards.



For larger covers, I use a larger size (6"x9") of the same pockets that has been trimmed to fit the available space.

I started mounting my Belgium Collection, I might changes it after seeing a lot of good suggestions to pages, but I started so might keep it up.

100 Years of Independence - 1913,Both perforations. 10 Gulden missing. Yes please, send it to me

Very nice presentation classicalstamps. As a worldwide collector who simply puts my stamps in Vario stock sheets - albeit nicely and not too crowded, I am always impressed by those who can focus on quality rather than quantity. I'd like to see some pictures of the pages with inserted stamps.

I initially made this page without the IPE Ceres 10F pieces because... I misplaced them. Having once again been found I decifded to make the adjustments to the page and get them mounted so  such a mishap doesn't occur a second time. I don't have a good expanation for how I managed to place both of this in with stamps of Lundy, but that's where they showed up!

1949 International Exposition- done at last!

Please do not take this as a criticism it is a handsome page , but I have to confess I find this page puzzling and a bit overwhelming.

What size is it.?

 How many elements of the 9  are real stamps or covers?

what items are actual size?
