I absolutely love the 2PPD inserts.

I need to look again just to be sure I didn't miss something. <br /><br />You hit the nail on the head - I do need structure! That has definitely been my problem with the FF pages. Not quite enough structure.

I think this would replicate FC pretty well but in a page size that is the same as FF. They also have storage binders for your yearly archiving. It seems that your planning style is what is being comprimised and it may be difficult to resolve with FF pages - at least not in an orderly fashion.
