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

@miamismartgirl LOL! Yes! You are right! What a silly mistake. Thanks for catching that.

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?

Hobby Lobby has post bound albums as low as $9.99. They often run sales as much as 50% off!

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.
