Hi everyone. If you haven’t heard yet Close to My Heart are having a sale on their albums until the end of May 2016. There are some great designs and these are all while stocks last. Take a quick look at the designs currently available here.

Close to my heart has two different types of albums. there are post bound and D ring albums. Each one has it’s Pro’s and Cons and you will need to determine your own requirements to choose the right album for your needs.

The D ring (3 ring Binder)

pro’s

• Place the pages you are working on quickly away for protection
• Add pages to your projects/albums quickly
• change the order of your album easily.
• Has clip at top, bottom and middle to help keep pages supported

Cons

• Heavy projects can damage the rings.
• Album is set width. May take up more room on shelf

 

Post Bound Album

• heavy projects are best suited for these albums.
• Can adjust the size of the album but adding or removing posts

Cons

• Need to unscrew posts to add more pages or change order
• need to remove pages to add others to create specific order

 

My favourite is the D ring only because I don’t work on projects in chronological order. These albums allow me add pages as I complete them quickly and easily.

If you do pages that have flip flaps or heaps of heavy elements on them or want an album to be a specific width, Then I would suggest you purchase the post bound albums.

If you already have an album let me know which one you love and why?
