Importance of LIGNIN-FREE paper....

To save you the trouble I've gone through....

If you purchase your scrapbooking supplies through a major company like Creative Memories you'll be fine and won't have this problem.

If you are like me and shop around for the best price and variety of products you may run into this problem.

I bought a $50 scrapbook from Hobby Lobby (100 pages). It was acid-free. I did not know to look for LIGNIN-FREE on the label as well...and it wasn't either. After completing almost the entire album in a sunlit room I realized that the white cardstock pages were subject to yellowing in the light. The album looks great and a lot of work went into it so I won't be redoing it. But should I buy this book again I will swap out pages of 12x12 white cardstock with something acid AND LIGNIN free.
