Choose your size.

If you received an email about the KIDS PLAY CLASS then you have been accepted for the class.
To prepare for your class you need to decide which size of album you which to use to document your childs school years.

Some of the common size albums are:
6X6
8X8
12X12
8 1/2 X 11
11 X 8 1/2
You need to choose your size before the class, but you can wait until later to actually pick the album.
There are a few different types of albums also.
Post bound, strap-hinge or ring binders.
Go to your local scrapbook store, hobby lobby or craft or fabric store to look at the album.
The quality of albums is a consideration, there are some really nice looking albums out there that don't with stand the test of time. Please consider a quality album, they usually go on sale several times a year.
Remind me to show you the strap hinges that have been made to replace the posts in the post bound albums, they are really nice and make a huge difference in the stability of your album. They are from Pioneer, which also makes nice albums.
Right now my favorite quality album is made by Close to My Heart. They are a little pricey but are very sturdy.
