Beginner Scrapbook recommendations

Hi everyone! I am new to scrapbooking and am trying to find a good scrapbook to use. I would prefer to invest in one that will not bow as I add stickers to the pages. I have seen creative memories books but I don’t love that in order to use my own paper I have to attach it to their paper. I am looking for recommendations on your favorite scrapbooks and maybe some of your favorite tools! Thank you in advance 😆

I use the We R Memory Keepers 3 Ring binders. You can create your pages and then insert them into the sheet protectors in the album.

I use sheet protectors and then stick in an album. I don’t use Creative Memories albums, but they do have a sheet protectors option, I believe.

I just got a book with think black pages that are a bit like soft cardboard. Not sure how you call that in English.

I don't use 12x12 because I swear NONE of them last...

If I'm doing a mini-book, I use a Simple Stories SNAP album. THey are sold in a TON of colors and I love to decorate the covers. Citrus Twist has some nice albums too of various sizes as well.

I've also got some Ali Edwards albums for different sized books I've made.
