I go with 3 ring style. The ones I usually buy are American Crafts or Making Memories. I am sure there are others and I have no objection to trying them. These are the ones I have found more easily when looking and they work fantastic for thick, lumpy pages!

LOL I know what you mean

CM strap hinge! I do 5 per color so I have about 3 to go & then I'll switch to the new true 12x12. I love the bookcloth & the flat pages (I work in the album)!

I love 3 ring binders! Especially American Crafts and WeRMemory Keepers!

I agree, Carol! I might convert, lol!

I am trying to use up all the Creative Memories albums I have, then I might try 3 ring binders.

I used to use the CM but it was a pain in the butt cutting those pages to fit. Now I use just a post album.

I love my CM albums - but I do have the K & Co. scout albums and fire album for my guys (just because they are themed)!

I started with the CM strap hinge albums, which I had a hard time with. I have a few post albums, but the majority are 3-ring from MM or American Crafts.

I have mostly CM and CTMH albums; but may think about switching to 3 ring binders since I am starting to make lumpy layouts now.

I use American Craft 3 ring binders and absolutely love them.

I have always used post bound, but starting to use some 3 ring albums.

I too started out with post bound, but now I use the 3 rings. HL had a 50% off sale a couple of weeks ago and I went wild! They are so much easier to work with and you can take pages out and move them around without any trouble at all. I will never buy anything but 3 ring from now on.

I use post bound but have wanted to try a 3-ring.

I was just thinking the same thing! I'm actually starting to get frustrated with my postbound...it doesn't like my embellied pages

I use post bound. But I'm curious. I do a lot of two page layouts. Do post bound albums get the pages close enough to make a two page LO look like one 24" wide page???

Monet06 · Tue Jun 23, 2009 2:52 pm

I have been use the three ring AC for about the last year.

Renee · Tue Jun 23, 2009 3:03 pm

In the beginning I would only use the CM ones but recently I've switched to the 3 ring binder style. I'M LOVING IT!! I can rearrange layouts without having to rearrange my entire book.

jody01 · Tue Jun 23, 2009 3:28 pm

I need a new one!!! thanks ladies
