This method works for me. I find that AlbumEasy allows you to do almost anything, once you look under the hood and experiment...


My method too. For my US Mystic album, I had used Scribus to make custom pages (redid well over 200) since I did not know about Album Easy. If you are working with lots of graphics, Scribus (or something similar) may be easier. It has a lot of nice tools to align and distribute objects (text, images). Scribus had a clumsy interface though and you could not create a simple table easily.

Sorry, I hadn't read John Becker's comments.
I don't collect France, only the art series, but when I come across too many repetitions of the same series, I mount it even if I don't collect it. That's how I started the DDR, I had 400 stamps less than the complete collection for change.
I like mounting the sheets almost as much as collecting stamps and I do them for myself with what I have, I don't intend to exhibit or compete, I only want the stamps to be seen whole and in the standard classifiers it is not possible.
I collect 14 countries, which I closed between 2010-2020, three themes and hundreds of loose series, only what I like. There are no pages of any brand for the loose series that are broadcast in several years.
I have the Sabine together with the La Libertad, I rode them at the same time and I put Gandon with the Libertad, I had room left.

Thank you, they are simple and symmetrical and, without technical data, which does not interest me.
Nor do I decorate them unless it is to "fill" the sheet and I usually put a drawing, FDC, or circulated envelope.

Well defined, that's the formula, easy to follow and easy to do.
I show three pages of other classmates.
The first (always in my personal opinion) with an excess of parts and a lack of information.
It belongs to a good friend who only collects basic world series. Old school, doesn't use a computer.

This other one, quite the opposite; too much information and few pieces.
It looks more like a botanist's collection than a philatelist's.

And the third (I insist, it is my personal opinion) with excessive technical data, which will also be hidden.

I have assembled this sheet today.
In it I have dared to make up for the shortcomings of the Greek series.
I hope the purists don't give me the philatelic excommunication.

History shows that those excommunicated were usually the good men and women, Roberto.

When you installed AlbumEasy, some examples should have been installed in your documents folder.
One of these is SteinerExample.txt, which you could probably use as a template for your pages.

If you have any questions, please post them here, or feel free to contact me directly.
