what brand of albums do you like and why?

[evilangel]

I"m not very good at sticking to brands, but I love using the 3 ring binder style - makes it so easy to move things around & reorganize & add in things you find that you realize you forgot to add!

I love the scrapbook forever yours. They are very hard to find. I now have to order them online. But to me they are the best. They are top loading, well made, great page protectors. I love the freedom of moving my pages around. I never liked any scrapbook where you scrap directly on the page.

I totally agree! I have had a few times that I am done, or almost done, do not like the way it is turning out and remove the photos so that I can do it over.

Hey! I use CM albums as well and am a CM Consultant. I've been a consultant for 7 yrs. and the album is my favorite - They offer a red "Disney" album (12x12) with a classic Mickey cover design. It just came out in May!! It also comes in a smaller 7x7 size too. Either works - I just take sooo many pictures that a 7x7 wouldn't be large enough-- Having said that, I do plan to use 2 of them with CM's Disney Snap Packs to create CUTE pages before our cruise so my boys can each have one for the characters to autograph. They are perfect for that! Let me know if you want a price on getting several of these or not.

CM all the way....you can't beat the lifetime warrenty! Plus, CM will start direct shipping to customers in the near future.

What ever style you choose make sure to buy the same refill pages everytime. If you use the page protector style it is really annoying when the page protectors aren't exactly the same size.

do you like the metal posts or straps better for scrapbooks? and why?

I don't like either one of them ... I am REALLY enjoying the 3 ring binder styles!

The straps (from Pioneer) because you can add pages to the front or back easily. I know some people have problems with them coming loose, but I put that super-sticky red tape on the anchors and they have not moved. At all. I accidently put one in crooked and there it stayed.

Love CM only. Quality is superior and worth the price. Started scrapping with 1/2 albums from hobby lobby. Have given them all to ds (8 y/o) to scrap in because they don't have the quality of CM.

Postbound albums - HATE and loathe straphinge! - the post bound albums need cardboard or foam spacers in the spine every few pages and they will be just as rigid as the strap hinge ones and nice and square as well.

Linda, I use small plastic washers to balance the books. It works great! I am with you with the strap hinge I can never remember which way I am suppose to rethread it!
