My Favourite SB albums...

are the ones I wrote about in THIS ARTICLE , written for the SBCH blog awhile back.
Enjoy... pics are included so u can see what I was writing about! Since we talked on the SOS Forum about 3-ring albums the other day, I thought I'd post this article.

Was not intended to be a comment on anything that is available at Zoe's store... my comments re: postbound albums are JMHO, they just aren't my thing in my situation. Ahem, my Mom says I am very opinionated like my Grammie G. (yes, her MIL) was! LOL ... She was a little pepper-pot! Hehehe

I really need to get a 3 ring binder one like that, at least then I can just add to at will...

At the moment I only have two big 12x12s that are completely binded and can't be added to, which ticks me off! As they only have 10 pages in each and will be full in no time, plus end up taking more space cos of the bulky covers. But the upside is they have pretty covers with flowers and flourishes printed on them. I should take a pic 2moz..

I recently bout an American Crafts d-ring album. I love the look of them! Expensive, though, but they do take a whole lot more layouts that the post-bound.

I have the d-ring albums for the boys school photos, etc. I am thinking of getting these for me too, as I really like the ease of using them. When I first started scrapping, I had to have the post albums as they were the closest together pages as all I did was double paged layouts. Now, it doesn't matter to me if the l/o's match when side by side in an album. (does this make sense to anyone, I know what I mean???) LOL!!

Yup makes total sense to me!!!!!

I have all D~Ring binders.....made by American Crafts though....the corduroy ones are my favorite

I have a couple of post bound albums from Costco. I like the way the look for the two pagers too - but the ease of moving layouts around and adding more protectors on the D-ring albums has converted me. I have 4 albums on the go right now. Since I don't scrap chronoligically (sp?), I plan to put them into some semblence of order someday.

I really like the WRMK ones you show in the article Ali - very classy.

I prefer the Pioneer post bound albums. The 3 ring binders just don't appeal to me.

those are really nice albums... I am cheap however...with some things at least...lol... and get my ring albums at London Drugs ... they are nice enough and hold lots of photos and are really easy to use... I do have some really good leather bound ring type albums for my family tree project though.

Here are the cheap nasty, but pretty albums I have:

And these are the half size ones for my Pets:

Oh Annmaree... those are nice!

I love three ring albums and will no longer buy post bound, though I will only buy them on sale or with a coupon since I would rather spend my money on scrapbook goodies then the albums themselves (I'm cheap, too, Lois!)

I have converted to the american crafts D-ring albums, and I have been getting them at Michaels with my 40% off coupons, I have accumulated quite a few of them lately. I am loving them. I have had postbound mostly up to now and have been frustrated with trying to re-arrange the layouts bacause I have given myself permission to not scrap chronologically anymore!! I read Stacey Julian's book, photo freedom and have taken some of her style into my scrapworld! I have been tagging them on the spines so that I can see what the album is, if it is by year or subject. It is working so well for me, I am loving it. I love the wrmk's albums but could never find them on sale anywhere so went to these and they seem to be standing up well so will stay with them for now.

3 words We R Memory Keepers

D ring We R Memory Keepers albums. Love em! Post bound Nah.. to much of a pain in the behind trying to screw in the extensions.

Call me lazy, but I like the option of the 6 up 4X6 Pages, with a 12X12 in the mix. I have bought many a 12X12 sleeves and nothing compares to the quality and durability of the We R Memory Keepers pages.


Oh wait once....was that more than 3 words?

LOL Sonya.... YEP!! That is what my article (first post) is about: the d-ring WRMK alb's. LOVE em.
