or something similar?

My friend's DD's bday was this past weekend, and I thought this might be good to scrap her Princess party.

It looks pretty neat, and has a download-able template. I'm wondering what kind of quality the chipboard is though. I don't want that flimsy stuff.

I've never seen these in person, so I don't know the quality. It is sure is cute though! If you were adding papers to the front and back it would sturdy it up and then several coats of sealer would thicken it too. I say try it and let us know! LOL :)

Bare Elements also sells a very princess-y castle type thing that looks like this too, if you wanted something a bit more princessy. I havn't used anything like what you have shown before though. I'd love to hear how it turns out!!

I'm sure it's fine. You could always order it and see how thick it is when you get it. Then if you don't like it, return it. No biggie. But like Heather said, some papers and a few coats of sealer will make it considerably sturdier.

I have the cupcake album by the same company. Their albums are sturdy & high-quality! :)
