A couple of years ago I started converting my post-bound albums to American Craft D-Ring albums and never looked back. I cannot begin to tell you how much of a difference it has made. The ease of rearranging and adding pages is a breeze.
Back in 2004 I finished our wedding album and used a Creative Memories album. They make beautiful albums, but it just didn't serve my needs. I had 30 pages to put in the book. I used heavy, 3D embellishments throughout so it was a little bulky. The binding bent and cracked twice. Creative Memories replaced the binding with no questions asked. Still when flipping through the book I felt like the pages were slipping around. Because of this I rarely looked at the album.
A couple of weeks ago my brilliant friend Jess mentioned that I could convert this album over to a D-ring. WHAT? Tell me how NOW!
It's so simple. I grabbed Nick's wire cutter and snipped the metal hinges off the CM pages and slipped the page into American Craft page protectors. The total cost of the conversion was around $25. I want to do some more embellishing to the front of the album but I'm already loving the switch. The book is sturdy and easy to page through.
