We Canadians don’t seem to have that many options available … I did a quick search on Amazon.ca. Most of the photo/postcard-sized sleeves are made in A4 size, which doesn’t necessarily fit all North American binders, even though the perforation may be OK.
The most common US letter-size solution seems to be 2 pockets holding up to 5"×7", which is a bit large for common postcards (therefore a waste of space).
Alas, I wish our country’s population is bigger so that more manufacturers can consider our needs when making a product …
Another newbie question…how is there room on the postcards for anything other than a stamp and an address? I have many things i usually add to letters but i am having problems fitting it all on a the small footprint of a postcard. Thanks in advance!
Washi tape is a decorative masking tape that people here use to decorate the back of the postcard! There are many types, with drawings, colors, patterns, motifs, etc. As for the little notebooks, I used them to make a little visual diary on it by gluing old stamps, newspapers clippings, dried flowers or leaves, stickers from fruit, etc. Then I would send them to someone! Of course you can use them as you see fit.
Here are some places you can check out on the forum:

Welcome to Postcrossing! I hope you have a fun time with us here.
Went to my first stamp release and stamp show, then a meetup, and then went into San Francisco and found lovely cards. I love the bear hugging California. May keep one for myself…
