I use strap hinge scrapbooks from Creative Memories. I have been using them for 16 years and never had a problem with the staples falling out. CM albums are guaranteed for a lifetime. They also have side loading sleeves that fit into their albums if you want to just slip a page into a protector. I love the look and quality of Creative Memories.
I have hundreds of photos from high school that I want to scrapbook before I go to college. This video was so helpful! I'm going to buy a post bound scrapbook so that I can extend it when needed.
This was a Very informative video. Thank you. And I just recently went to hobby lobby and they had a huge scrapbooking 50% off sale. Scrapbooking is super fun and I love it. Have a great day!
I am going to start scrap booking this summer and looking through different videos. Liked this one the best. Thank-you!
Very well presented. Creative Memories makes the strap hinge albums....made in the USA and great quality. To assemble pull the middle cover out and and pages at the back.
Thank you for this! It was great. Remember that Joann, Michaels and Hobby Lobby all have 50-% off coupons. The D-Ring also comes in 12x12 sizes and great colors too!
Thank you so much! I could not figure out how to work the postbound album, and thought I would end up breaking it. Very helpful :)
Hi, Jessica! Thanks for your question. I've made several bulky albums before with both strap hinge and postbound albums. Ultimately, I recommend using a postbound with extension posts. With the scrap hinge, there is the chance that the "staple" (metal fastener) that the strap runs through can break. That happened to one of my pages and now it hangs out of the album awkwardly. Good luck with your scrapbook!
Hi my name is Rene and I am interested in scrapebooking , mainly because of my job. I am a Attendant at a Arts Center where guests rent out or building for events, such as plays, concerts, beuty Pagents etc... I just bought a scrapebook kit which was just a basic kit for beginners and it was a Post Bound album. I enjoyed your tutorial it helped alot and answered all my questions that I had in my mind. Thank You.
I have only used strap hinge albums from Cm wonderful product. Another company called Memories for life also carry strap hinge albums also excellent. Started by same person that was co-founder of CM. You should always use page protectors to keep your pictures clean of finger prints, spills etc. Helps for longevity of product. The product might be more expensive but well worth it. Often times run sales. Albums can also be engraved which adds a beautiful touch. Making memory albums takes a while to make, expensive but should be preserved in the best way. This is your life story.
Thank you so much!!! I've been trying to find out where to get the post bound scrapbook!! It's so cool!
Thanks so much I had to make an educational scrapbook for my AP Environmental science and now i have an idea of what to use!!
I use a strap hinge album by Pioneer that doesn't use the paper with metal fasteners. Instead, the straps slip through the same page protectors as used for D-ring albums. The album has is supposed to hold up to 300 pages, but I only have about 60 pages right now. Another option to avoid pesky posts is to use Snapload, also by Pioneer. Snapload allows you to replace posts with plastic strap hinges for any postbound album. I'm not affiliated with Pioneer in any way in case anyone's wondering!
Gosh i really want to start scrapbooking now!
really good tips for someone who is just starting out.. I been scrap booking for awhile now ,as I do more and more scrap booking I'm learning each time. I love the post bound scrap books.. I was how many post bound page protectors can fit in the scrapbook along with the extension pieces? if you could please get back to me that would be awesome
sincerely

What do you do to make your nails look so pretty?
They're so gorgeous
I recently tried my first post bound album and one major advantage I see is that there is a very small gap between the pages so a double page layout looks much more cohesive. I plan to stick with post bound in the foreseeable future.
I just put a post bound 12x12 scrapbook in my cart at Walmart. It was less than 9 dollars and has artwork on the cover. I didn't know what post bound was, that's why I'm here. Thanks for the information.
@jesenko6
Thank you, jesenko6! Oooh! That's a great idea. I will def make an episode on how to use those leftover scraps. You'll have to wait a few weeks though because I already have the next few tutorials filmed! You can look for more videos every Tuesday. Also, I'm not sure what these "tabs" are that you're talking about. I don't usually buy kits, but I promise I will investigate and find out!
dont know if anyone gives a damn but if you guys are bored like me atm you can watch all the new movies and series on instaflixxer. Been streaming with my brother these days xD
@Fletcher Enrique definitely, I've been watching on instaflixxer for months myself :)
@Fletcher Enrique Yea, I've been watching on instaflixxer for since november myself =)
Just starting out and this video helped me out so much, thank you :)
Thanks so much for taking the time to respond!
Thank you so much. This really helped.
THx for this great video comparison! Pls keep in mind that the strap hinge albums are still available from Creative Memories (they call them flex hinge, but it's the same system).
There's one thing I miss here: I would have liked to see a full album (with at least 15 to 20 pages) opened! I know how it looks in a D-ring-album, and I know that the pages are flat out in a strap hinge album, because that's what I use. But what does it look like in a post-bind-album? They don't lie flat, do they?
Great video, thanks for taking the time.
Sorry you don't like the strap hinge style as I do, but we all need to have different likes. The strap hinge albums lost it's appeal because of Creative Memories going out of business. And the one thing that is great about them is that they lay flat when you open the album and if you have a 2 page spread it is more uniform and looks like one page for your layout.
This was so helpful!!! Thank you!
awesome video for beginners like me! thanks!
i need to make a scrapbook for school. Over the past five days, my class has been on a field trip to Beijing and we took a bunch of pictures. We have two essential points to include: Chinese culture and Character development. can you help me with ideas for the project?
thanks
(also, just a FYI, i live in Hong Kong, so going to Beijing isn't such a big deal :D)
@miamismartgirl LOL! Yes! You are right! What a silly mistake. Thanks for catching that.
I think I prefer the post bound over the D-ring only because it doesn't need a sheet protector. You can embellish your pages more if you aren't confined by a sheet protector.
@sunnwingss You're welcome!
I'm sad to hear that the hinge album is going out of style. I know they are a bit tricky to add pages, but I love the look of them. Espcecially with a 2 page spread. I've got about 30 pages in most of mine and have never had aproblem with the staples coming out. The D ring is ok, but the pages don't lay side by side. And the post bound, well can you imagine how many added posts I'd need for 30 pages! lol Well I guess I'll use what ever I can get. Thanks for the tutorial.
Jessica
What about albums without page protector?
I don't really like to cover the pages :/
This will prob sound silly but I at the present am using a post bound scrapbook and personally I don't care for them. what I am wanting to know is can I use the scrapbook pages from the post bound and use them with a 3 ring binders? Like make punch holes bigger, or make new holes? The post bound is already full of pages, protectors but just don't like it. it would prob be expensive to buy all the protectors N such for the 3 ring binders. I've already got my 3 ring binders but needing to know if someway I can reuse the post bound pages. Plz make me happy and say YES!! 😊 Thank you for your help...🤗
Thank you for this tutorial. I know it is quite old, but hoping someone will still see this. Can I use regular 12x12 sheet protectors on a bostpound book? Thanks!
You are adorable, this video was helpful. I am using D rings and the page protectors came with extention posts. I looked everywhere trying to figure out how they worked with a binder but I see now. Wrong album, I don't need them ha ha! Thanks! (no offense, its voila, not walla)
That was helpful, thankyou!
I made a post-bound photo book and added many pages, I think around 30 pages. But when I open the pages they are not laying flat. Have you had this problem. Do you think I added too many pages?
Using the "D" ring album I think your pages should go the other way. I think you need to flip the pages that you have in there. So when you close the book your pages would be on the straight part of the D
I love your videos!! Could you make one to show us how to use leftover scraps and how to use tabs which I find in most kits. Thank you.
jesenko6
Hi there, thanks for the great video. Just wondering whats a better kind of album iif its gonna bea bulky one?
Yep!
Thank you!
@stickeroni1
Hi! I would LOVE to help! I'm a teacher too so this question is "right up my alley." I think the scrapbook will be a great way to capture your memories from the trip AND help your students reflect on the two points you mentioned. I just sent you a VERY LOOONG UA-cam message with several suggestions! Hope that helps!
@styleboutique89 Thanks for your question! I will send you a personal message to your UA-cam inbox!
Love the subtitles, but why isn't the 'um' in there too, it was by far the most common sound.
Hi, Shima! I used to sell my extra posts, but I'm completely out right now. :( Have you tried Ebay? I have never seen the posts "sold separately" in the stores. Perhaps there are some other crafters reading these comments who can help Shima?
thank you!!!! cant wait to make my gf "up" pixar postbound scrapbook
I have several strap hinge albums and some of them are in rather sorry shape. In their defense, I probably put more pages in them than I should have but they were rather pricey and I was trying to be frugal. Also, my children have looked at them many times over the years and probably weren't as careful with them as I would have been. But I am making them for my children so I don't want to tell them they CAN'T look at them.
if you cant find a d wing binder can u use one that's round instead
hi so im making my own scrapbbok cover and album basically but i bought the refill pages that came with extension posts now i was wondering where i can get the screws to secure the extension posts, do you know where i can purchase them
Hi, I was wondering if you know how to modify the size of a 12 x 12 scrapbook page refill. I need it to be 9.5" x 10.5"
love it!
OLA means WAVE in Spanish. HOLA is for HELLO.
So, D-ring is like binder?
I'm not sure I understand your question, Dan. Could you perhaps rephrase your question? Thanks!
How do you make paper decorations for scrapbook any size ?
Video answered my question in the differences. The host is a tad over the top however. Borderline annoying, but helpful. :)
Hobby Lobby has post bound albums as low as $9.99. They often run sales as much as 50% off!
I got 40 seconds in and wanted to die
she is a bit too animated in the beginning of the film - but this youtube DEFINITELY answered my question about different types of albums. Thank you.
more more more :D
It wasn't very helpful that you didn't go through the steps of a strap hinge scrapbook, just did it and then sped it up. I understand that you don't like or recommend them any more, but we all have some CM books and need to adjust them at times.
Useful info but work on talking a little more naturally in future videos, this one was very enthusiastic an sounded forced so it was hard to listen to
No offense and please dont take this the wrong way but try to keep your face more calm, it was hard to listen. And you turned the binder the wrong way. Just helping you make better videos :) ❤️
Ashleine Nguyen Just being a bitch basically.
Anybody think she's a robot?
