    Glue dots and dry adhesives work well with acrylic albums to adhere most of your embellishments and memorabilia. KI Gloo will also work for some of your heavier items. To write directly on your albums, Sharpies, Sakura soufflé pens, and American Crafts slick writers work wonderfully. Most high-quality rub-ons such as Hambly Screenprints and BasicGrey will adhere well to accent your album.

    Those are great tips. I'm working on a Page Frames album right now, and my recommendation for glue is Zip Dry and Glossy Accents. They both dry really fast and perfectly clear. My biggest tip though is "think about BOTH sides" - remember that whatever you do on one side is going to show through on the other!

    My tip is XYRON. You won't notice any adhesive on the other side. It gives you a lot more freedom to arrange things how you like. I have some of my acrylic album sin my Flikr photostream
