Get Lucky: Every Day Stories Album
About two years ago I made the switch to use D-Ring albums exclusively for my scrapbooks. D-Ring albums allow me to move and add pages with ease. While I am not a chronological scrapbooker (I don’t scrapbook my pictures in the order that they were taken), I do like to have my pages in somewhat chronological order.
My favorite albums have always been the American Crafts D-Ring albums.
However, I was recently introduced to the I Remember When/Xyron Everyday Stories albums and people, these are way nicer than the American Crafts albums. WAY nicer.
What I really like about them is that they are like a box, so your pages are really protected and they can’t shift like in other D-Ring albums. I also like the versatility of the pages that the album comes with (the pages can accommodate anything from 4×6 pictures to 12×12 layouts). You may remember me talking about these products in conjunction with a 365 project – which they would work GREAT for! I am using my first I Remember When album to scrapbook the heritage pictures I have of my family. What is nice is I can put layouts I have made as well as just pictures (when I don’t know any info, but want to still showcase the images) all in one album. Most scrapbooks would not allow you to do that. And the album is so beautiful that when I finish it, it will really be a treasure keepsake that will last for generations.
In honor of St. Patrick’s Day and Lucky Week, I Remember When has provided me with one green album to give away to a lucky reader- YAY! Simply, leave a comment and let me know what you would put in your I Remember When album.
Also, today is the last day to sign up to get the 5 Swag Bucks and enter to win the Amazon gift card. 🙂

Would love to win this and start scrapbooking!!! I would love to scrapbook the first couple of years my husband and I were together. Those pictures are just out there and not in an album.
Diana in GA
Thanks for posting this link.. I too use the D Ring Binders because they can hold so many more layouts.. I have 7 and need another one. I might have to switch to these new ones cause it looks like they would hold better
i love these giveaways!!! you are too kind!
I’ve not even heard of these. Thanks for posting this! I stopped using the three rings because of the way things shift but this sounds awesome!!!!
I’ve moved to D-ring also. Seems so much easier! Count me in!
What a cute album!! I love it! I have LOTS of pictures of my grandparents that I would use this album for! I need to get those started SOON! 🙂 Thanks for doing these give-aways. You are so generous!
-Amy
I would put my layouts in that album!!! I, unfortunately, have a stack that need to be put away. I am contemplating a switch from straphinge to d-ring albums.
Love your blog!!!
This sounds like an awesome giveaway! My daughter will be turning 1 in June and this would be great to put all of her ‘first year’ stuff in!!
another good give away…
I have been SO wanting to switch to a D ring album. I’m so tired of the post-bound albums i’m using. This would kick start me into action. I would use it mostly for my scrapbook pages, but i would also add the pictures that I don’t scrap, but still want to keep.
HI Jessica… I would love to put a remember all the times for my kids to look back on… I have all the digital pictures on the computer and i really haven’t made the time to put them in a book, but this beautiful book would give me the push I need.
Thanks… Michelle
I really like the points that you highlighted about this album. I would love to use it to remember the 2 years that our family lived in Korea (including the birth of our 1st child)! Thanks for sharing 🙂
I would use this album to scrapbook my youngest sons 1st year. He is 2 now so I am a little behind. Thanks for the chance to win.
I LOVE D-ring binders and always use them. I would love to win this! I would use this to scrap the few pics I have of my grandma & grandpa, mom, dad etc. Thank you.
I would use this album for my wedding pictures. I haven’t really figured out what to do with them yet!
I love this album. I’d like to use it for Allie’s first year. So cute!
Hmmm, what would I put in the album? I would probably put pictures of my baby. I don’t scrapbook and I don’t have a baby album, so this would be a good start. Hope I win!!!
I would probably use this album to scrapbook my 2 adopted step-sons life prior to me. Neither of them have a baby book, but my husband and his parents have plenty of pictures of them as babies that I could use. Thanks for yet another great giveaway!!!
Elizabeth
I really need to start investing more money in archiving my scrapbook pages so I will definitely have to look into these. Thanks!
My daughter is getting married in May so I could fill it with pages from her growing up years…dancing, piano, gymnastics, mission trips. The highlights. Maybe even display it at the reception.
My son is graduating in May. I could use it the same way for him only his would be full of sports and computer accomplishments.
OR I could use it for my baby who is really just getting started on making lots of memories.
Those are my options. I would love to give it a try!
oooh now see I may have to switch to those….hmmmm love them 🙂
I would love to actually start keeping a scrapbook with memories of my nephew’s first year!! I never knew I could be this proud of an Auntie, but boy, am I ever proud of my little Jorgen!!! 🙂
Love the D Rings!! Fabulous!
I would love to have the D ring binder. I would like to start a book with all the pictures I have of my grandmother who just passed away a few months ago. So to put the pictures and the memories my family has of her would be something to cherish.
Jordan in Oshkosh,WI
If I was the lucky winner of this album, I would fill it with pictures of my 3 little girls (as I do every album!).
So, I have just started baby scrapbooking my son’s first year (he’s almost 5 months). I am putting the kit from Becky Higgins together, but don’t have an album. You always talk about D ring binders, which would work great for that. :0) Thanks for all of your postings.
Maybe this is what I need to get me started scrapbooking!! I have TONS of photos in albums, but have never even tried to scrapbook..Would either start with the kids when they were babies, or when my husband and I were dating/newly married
I would put heritage pages in it also!
I would probably use it for a family album. I love all your give aways.
Have a great day.
Susan
Oh these albums seem fabulous. Thanks for sharing. Since I am WAY behind on my scrapping these days, I have lots to put in there. Like the fact my daughter is turning 2 in June and I have not finished her 1 year album. or the fact that my son will be 5 and I haven’t even finished his 3 yr album. I think it was the second child thing 🙂 Really could use this to get me going again!
Hi Roommate!
This is a cute album and I’m going to try my luck at winning. 🙂
Love you and have a great friday!
Thanks for the info. I’d love to try a new D-ring album as I am still using post-bounds that are starting to drive me crazy! 🙂
I would love this album and I would scrapbook my son’s first’s in it.
I have not seen these before but they look awesome. I have been a post-bound girl but I think this album could convert me. LOL! I think if I won I would use this album for my son’s pages. I have 2 girls also and I tend to buy more girl stuff including albums so this would be a nice album to add to my son’s collection.

This looks great! I would put pictures of my husband and I during our first few years of marriage and remodeling of our home. I have never found anything to do with these so this would be perfect!
Thanks,
Rebecca
ohhhh I think I would put my son’s Sweet Baby Kit from Becky Higgins in it.
Andrea Johnson
Before my son was born I started not one but 2 scrapbooks for his baby books. Since he was 6 months old I basically stopped scrapbooking and haven’t gotten back into it. If I won this album I would put all his baby photos I haven’t put in a scrapbook yet.
Your week of giveways has been so much fun.
I love the idea of mixing layouts and 4×6 pics. I would use the album for pics of my 17 year old daughter..she is graduating in June.
have have always used the creative memories albums but would love to try a d ring! Thanks!
I also started using 3-ring binders from AC this past year or two and love that I can add LOs wherever I want without taking the whole thing apart. I would put pictures of trips I took before I married my husband in the green book. Thanks!
I’ve been needing a new album…I would love to win this 🙂
awesome – I would scrap one side of my family heritage (the irish side).
I’ve recently started converting my photos into the LOM system that Stacy Julien teaches. I love it so far and have an album for each of my 4 categories but I don’t have one for pictures/memories/stores that make me happy. And Green is my FAVORITE color so I’d make this “What Makes Me Happy” Album.
I wish I had started with the D Ring albums – this would be a great way to switch over. 🙂
Love it! Especially the whole “it’s really a box” part! I’ve been dealing with the fact that it’s just me in my life right now, but have started to let myself understand that I still have a story. Given that, it would be my own life in that box should I be lucky enough to win it. I’ve also started scrapping my faith journey which has been fun!
Its funny that you wrote about albums today. I have been thinking a lot about what kind to purchase and had decided on ring vs. post but didn’t know where to go from there. I have a ton of pages that need a good home. Thanks for the opportunity to put my hat in the ‘ring’. ; )
How cool! I have been debating the switch toD-Ring albums for a long time and have not done it. The I Remember When albums look so nice. Thanks for the giveaway1
Amy M.
Can’t wait to click on the link and check out these albums and thanks for the chance to win!
I would use this album for storing photos of my son’s engagement photos. That way the photos would stay protected and dust free. Thanks for doing these giveaways!
Well, I guess what I’d put in the I Remember When Album would be my kids when they were little. I already had all 4 kids when scrapbooking came on the scene, so I’ve been playing a catch up game since. My dream was to have sets of albums for each individual child, but that was not doable with life and busy schedules, so now I’m just trying to keep up with current life while also catching up on their baby/younger years in one series of albums. And I actually scrapbook for therapy/relaxation, so I love to create and take forever. Not a recipe for ever getting caught up, but I still love it. And Bright side – I’ll probably never be without something to scrapbook. (I have a friend who didn’t have anything to scrapbook over Spring Break….What?! Never happen here. 🙂 )
It’s been a fun week, Jessica. Thanks.
This would be awesome for my family album! I’m way behind on my scrapbooking and need something new and exciting to get me going 🙂
Awesome album! I have also started using D-ring binders. I found the traditional scrapbooks dont’ fit as many pages and are such a pain when adding new pages. I would love a new D-ring!
Thanks for the giveaways! I would love to put our combined family scrapbook in this — I haven’t seen these in person but they look great!
I would love to experiment with the different-sized page protectors, putting individual photos and journaling alongside more embellished pages.
I would put pictures that Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep took of my Angel Kooper and our family the day we had to say good-bye to him along with the zillions of pictures I took of him.
-Kami
I would use it to make my daughter’s baby book – since she turns one next month I would like to get started on that soon! 🙂
that’s a hard question … what i would put in it!?!
but i agree … a heritage book is a great idea.
I’m getting married in July so I’d put pictures of our dating relationship in there.
That looks like a really nice album. I may have to switch, since I use the American Crafts ones right now. I would use the album to get caught up on my daughters pages. Thanks for the chance to win.
I would put pictures of my hubby and I…I have never made a scrap page based on us….isn’t that terrible. Pics of us are in one of those photo storage boxes! Thanks for the chance to win…D ring albums ROCK! =)
This looks like a nice album! I would put my layouts of my brother’s wedding in it!
oh i love these albums! i’d put all the scrapbook pages i’ve done but not gotten into an album yet in one. 🙂
I have been wanting these albums for a looooong time but I discovered them just a month or so AFTER I purchased 3 albums for American Crafts. So I could never justify it 🙁 I hope I win at least this one!!!!
I would love to win this d-ring album. Who doesn’t love a new album. Thanks for the giveaways.
Oh, I have wanted to do a scrapbook this year for a Christmas present for my Mom and Dad. I want to fill it with pictures of my sister and I growing up, interspersed with little notes from the two of us, telling them how much they meant to us and what we remember about the specific incident the picture was taken. It’s their 30th anniversary this year, so I may move it to a present for that, but that’s what I would use this for. Looks awesome!
I too have been using the American Crafts D ring albums and would love a chance to try this new one. I would probably put family pages in this one, but you never know a girl can change her mind:). Bless you for doing these giveaways all week.
I would definitely do a “I remember when” Album of my wedding. Scrap booking is my favorite past time, but I’m SO busy that I still haven’t done my wedding and I’ve been married for two years. 🙁 This would be amazing!!
Jessica, that is a beautiful album! I would scrapbook the first year of my son’s life – which I am WAYYY behind on. He’s 19 months and I’ve not even started.
I would love to use it for my son’s 4-5 book! Thanks 🙂
My current album is almost full and I need another one to put our holidays/events/birthdays scrapbook pages in. These look really great. I would love to try one!
I would love to win this album and see for myself what you are soooo excited about! I’m fairly new at scrapbooking.
Laura in N. Ga.
This album looks awesome and it would be so great to have a “box” so that the pages couldn’t shift when on a shelf. I would use the album for my son’s toddler years which have just started! 🙂
I love D Ring albums. I would probably use this album for pictures/scrapbook pages of my child.
I would put in my pictures from my birthdays growing up. My mom was really great about making us albums with our birthday pictures, but they are in the “sticky” albums from the 70’s-80’s. I have been meaning for years to get them someplace better!
Hi Jessica,
I came to your blog from Bring The Rain a few months ago and have enjoyed reading. I also live in Nashville.
I do digital scrapbooking so this album would be great for printing my pages and having a unified place to put them.
Your lucky week giveaways are so fun!
Amy
I would love this to scrap our wedding pictures that are currently in a box collecting dust!
oh what a cool album! I wouls use this for my sons fifth grade year…he is a graduate this year and moves to middle school in the fall 🙁
I am currently working on my mother’s book for her 70th birthday. It is a surprise and her book is layouts of her and her sisters when they were young. They are all coming in from out of town to surprise her. I would put all the layouts in here!
I’ve only used the post type scrapbooks and I can’t stand when I have to take pages out and add more to it.
I would finish scrapbooking Mackenzie’s first year! She is going to be 2 next month so my “I remember when” album would remembering those fun moments that I have yet to scrapbook! I remember when she first crawled, walked, hair cut, said “mama.” I have all of the pictures, just need the book, and the time!
I am so far behind on scrapbooking that my second child is 2 1/2 and I only have hospital adn coming home pages started for him. Poor second kid… (= If I get this album I’ll use it as an inspiration to do Cabot’s scrapbook. (=
Shena (=
I’d like to make a dating/engagement album of pictures and memorabilia for my husband and I, so that I can finish my already started albums of my kids!
these look like great albums. I;d love to win one and try it out.
So I have never thought of using D rings nad am going to research them now. I would scrapbook trips/vacations my husband & I took together before our daughter was born. We love to travel.
I have wanted to switch to d-ring but just havent yet… I need to finish my sons 1 year album, so that’s what I would put in it….
Most of my scrapbooks are dedicated to one of the babies (I have 4 babies in my life that are nieces/ nephews, etc…) See my blog to see my cutie pies! I would love to win a new scrapbook to start their spring and summer photos in!
Brittany
Ooohh, the album sounds great. I would use it to store photos from my youth which are currently housed in boxes.
This past Sunday was my grandmother’s 80th birthday, and one of my cousins (1 of 16) collected photos from all of us that have us growing up, and specifically events that Grandma took part in – they made it into a photo book for her birthday. Each of the cousins now gets a CD of all the pictures to do with what we want. I’d like to print off the pictures and do scrapbook layouts for each of my cousins.
What great giveaways you’ve had this week!

I’ve wanted to try a D-ring album, and this one looks fantastic!
I’d use it for Project 365 that I have not been quite motivated enough to start… winning this would do it for me! Thankfully you can start that project any day of the year. Maybe on Monday…
This awesome is great. I would love to win one. I use D Ring albums as well, so much better IMO to the postbound. I switched a year ago and will never go back.
Would love to win this and try it out! I would use it for a family album of both my kiddos! 🙂
Thanks for a great week! 🙂
I am a huge D Ring album fan myself! I have never seen this album in a box before! Too cool! Thanks for the opportunity to win one!
Since it’s green, I would use this album to collect layouts and pictures from Christmas – as many years as would fit! Hope I win! Thanks for the recommendation!
I’ve never used them and would love to start. I have to finish (okay, really START) my son’s one-year album…
I have never heard of these great scrapbooks. I am currently trying to organize myself to start scrapbooking my daughter’s homeschooling journey. We have a lot of great pictures and memorabilia and it would be awesome to have an album like this to begin to use.
I would scrapbook my fifth anniversary trip to Hawaii, because everything there was so green and lush.
Oh this looks and sounds really nice! I would put pictures I just printed out (about 100) and start scrapbooking! Thanks!
This album sounds awesome! I’d love to win one. I’m almost up to 2006 w/my scrapbooking, so I’d use the Remember When album for 2006 pictures. Thanks for the opportunity.
would love that album!! i just recently switched from post to d ring as well…well, i’m still in the process of switching, but i did make the decision and 1/2 are done. i would love to hold my wedding and honeymoon pages in that album!
I’ve been looking for D ring binders since reading yoru blog, but have a hard time finding them. I’d love to try this one! Thanks for all of these fun give aways.
Ruthie
My husband and I just celebrated our first year of marriage, so I would love to scrapbook all of our memories from our first year 🙂
Love your blog! I would love this album for my son’s first year layouts.
Jody in CA
I would love to use this for keeping all of my parents old photos and things from when they first got married, and when my brother and i came along. right now all those photos are sitting in a box :[
I would love to win this scrapbook. I’m working on an album for my two year old daughter and need to start one for my 6 month old son, so I would use this for his scrapbook. Thank you for the opportunity!
I would use this to scapbook my little guy’s first year.
I have never used D Ring Binders, but agree that while I do not scrapbook chronologically, I like to have my pages in chronological order. It would be perfect for my daughter Anna’s first year!
This does look like a nice album! I’d love to win it!
I would love to scrapbook my niece & newphew and remember when they were babies 🙂 They're now almost 4 and 9 – they grow up so fast! Thanks for all your giveaways, this is fun! 🙂
I am just about to venture on the journey of scrapbooking my daughter’s first year. She is 16 months old and I really want to get it done before we have another baby!! 🙂 Pictures are ordered and organized, i just need an album and this would be perfect!!!
I think i’d put pics of our trip to Scotland – we saw lots of green moors on that trip! =)
These albums look great. I would probably put my 365 pages in it. I’ve been making them, but the are still looking for a home . . .
Thanks.
Kelly in Portland, OR
What a great album; I would use mine for a “Sisters” album of my girls.
I’d use it to put in my Ireland pictures. I leave tomorrow for a week long trip!
Sarah F in MI
very cool album! … I am also a 3ring binder girl myself 🙂
I think this would be an awesome thing to have!
I would LOVE this album. Just bought my first D-ring album after becky higgins mentioned she uses them. Haven’t started my 3 year old’s baby book yet, so I want to get going!!
Elias is SO cute!!!
i have been using creative memory albums for my kids but i want to do an album for me that i don’t have to give away one day : ) i would start putting layouts in that album! it would be nice to be able to move the pages around!
This looks like just what I need to get on top of my scrapbooking. My son is turning two next month and I’ve got to catch up from about 9 months til 2. With this (if I win) I could display it at his birthday party. How fun! Thanks!
I would love to win!! I have never seen these binders. I would put my daughter’s 1st year album in here..since she is already 5, it would be great to look back as I do the scrapbook pages!
I wish I had started using D ring binders when my kids were babies. Their books are practically falling apart with some many pages and lots of use from preschoolers who love to look at photos of themselves. Not to mention what a pain it is to rearrange pages in post bound books.
I love the idea of a d ring album. I too love my albums to be in chronological order even though I don’t scrap them in order.
I have just started using the D-ring albums for my layouts! LOVE THEM! Makes my scrapbooking life So much easier!! This album looks very beautiful! I need to get a new D-ring album for our Colorado vacation layouts and pictures! We always have so many beautiful scenery pics that I need to include 4×6 pics along with my layouts. This would be perfect! Thanks!
I would definitly use this for my Project 365! It looks like it would be perfect for that…and green is my FAVORITE color!
I hope I win so I can see this album in person. I checked out their website and I wish there were more photos of it to look at.
Thanks!
I would scrap pictures of my hubby and I when we were 1st dating. . .I’ve never scrapped those years;)
I would use this for my Project 365.I wasn’t one of the lucky ones to get a kit so I’m doing it on my own. I have been waiting to find a great D ring binder and this would be perfect.
HOW cute it is! I would put in my I Remember When album…The ‘firsts’ and awesome/exciting moments in my marriage with my hub and our precious newborn.
I think I would just put in the big pictures of our family that used to be in our picture frames. Thanks for all your great giveaways!
I would put family potraits in it. My papaw just sent me some pictures of him as a child and I would love to scrap them! You are so generous thank you!
I have several albums that are falling apart, so this would be great! I’d probably transfer my wedding album into it.
i would love to win this! our youngest is 3 months old and we had less than 24 hours notice that he was ready to be adopted (we brought him home Dec. 31). my four year old (also adopted) is elated!! i would use this album to chronicle the day that God changed our lives forever…again!
Oooh, cool! 🙂 I think I would like to use the album for heritage stuff, too! Great idea! 🙂
Amy in CA
I would love to win this! I actually have never tried a D ring binder before, but I have heard from lots of people who love them. I need to scrapbook our professional family portraits so that they are in one place and can be easily viewed after taking them down from picture frames.
I would put together an album of my husband and I in high school when we started dating. Thanks! I'm going out of town until Tuesday – hope it won't be a problem if I win!! :>)
This is a great looking album! I would use this to put the many many photos I have of my Goddaughter. I have so many and need to get organized so badly!
I would love to put pictures of my 4 year old as a baby in a Remember When album since I feel like the time as flown by and I never got to scrapbook those!!
I’ll put in my baby’s pics. Thanks for the giveaway!
beatspammer at gmail dot com
Thanks for all the giveaways. I love this album. It is like a nicer version of something similar I got from Target.
I would make this album one that I would continue to work on for years to come. I would want to leave it with my children one day. It would be about experiences and lessons that the Lord has taught me throughout my walk/life with Him. I am in missions and have plenty of pictures and lessons to get me started! 🙂
I would scrapbook a memory book of my grandparents, with pictures, special stories and memories!!
I would put pictures of the kids I babysit in my album.
Great album! I would definitely scrapbook my own childhood as I’ve never done this before!! Thanks for sharing 🙂
I’d put stuff about my son in it!
I am so behind on my scrapbooking – it seems two kids will do that to you – what a great giveaway!
I have never heard of these but would love to try one. My daughter is almost 3 and I have only have her first 6 months done. I need to get busy.
Jessica,
My son is 16 and I would so scrap his way through high school. So fun.
Have a Blessed evening,
Dawn
I just started using D ring b/c it is so much easier for my daughter to look through them.
this looks so cool!!
Hi Jessica, i do think that a
d-ring binder would be better than a post bound but this one in a box sounds like just the key to keeping really Special Memories of my four girls childhood in and keeping them very safe for years to come when they will appreciate flipping thru it to ooh and awww at years gone by. Thanks for the chance to win it. I do hope it’s me
I may have missed the deadline, but I’d love to win this! I’d use it for family album 🙂
I would love to win this album! I would use it to record my favorite preschool photos for this year!
I’d love to win this album! I’d use it for my ‘Family Traditions and Memories’ album. I’m working on recording the little quirky things that make our family unique, and the silly little details I don’t want to forget about my kids. This would be perfect! Thanks!
I just starting using D Ring Albums as well and I love them. If I won I would use this album for our ‘family’ scrapbook for 2007…started, but not done yet!
Thanks so much!~
Melissa
I think this would make a great album for documenting one’s childhood. Love it!
Love this idea. I have been saving pics-stories etc from my on-line breast cancer support group for 7 years to make a scrapbook. This album would give me the push to finally get it done. Judie
