Hey fellow couponers,
Just thought I would post on here to see if any of you are also scrapbookers. I am wondering what are some cheaper alternatives to scrapbooking supplies other than using coupons at Michael's, Wal-Mart or Dollarama? Are there any good surplus stores in Edmonton that carry scrapbooking supplies? Please post on here or pm me if you have any tips on where to look!
Thanks!
Kijiji is a good place to look!

Winners of course! Paper pads range from 5.99 to 12.99 while at Michaels they are 29.99.I buy way too much stuff there. I also got my crop-a-dile there.
Local scrapbook stores always have crazy clearance too. You can follow the inked stamper on Facebook and she posts stuff. (she's in saint Albert)
I have some extra scrapbooking supplies .... PM me and let me know what you are looking for
I haven't had time to scrapbook in awhile and I'm planning on selling my stash off. I have a Cricut Expression (with new cutting mat, blades and quite a few cartridges - some are unopened) that I'll be selling. I also have tons of paper, stamps, stickers, embellishments, too. PM if you're interested.
I'm a scrapbooker myself and was wondering the same thing too!!!! I love scrapbooking but would like to at least try to save some money buying things for it as well. :)
Ooh what a great tip! I went there tonight, and I definetly picked up some great chipboard packs for 2.99, and some stickers and paper packs for 3.99. It is just nice having a different selection too, as I find the same old stuff at Michaels and Wal-Mart all the time. Dollarama is hit or miss.Quote:

I've gotten paper pads on clearance at RCSS and every so often Staples have some of the cut-outs on clearance, really cheap when they have extra 50% off clearance.
Has anyone been able to find stamps at a reasonable price? I have been making my own cards and would like to find some stamps for that.
The only place I know of for stamps is the 40% sales at Michaels. I think one ends today.
I always scoure the $1.50 bins at Michaels for the wooden stamps. I started buying the clear stamps and I found a small clear mounting pad in those bins. I also bought a tonne of pigment ink for 1.50 there as I just got into embossing and only buy the clear embossing powder. When I bought a whole bunch of them, I used a 25% off your whole purchase coupon to get them even cheaper.
I've found close to my heart stamps at goodwill...keep your eye out in the junk/office/home isle, you never know what you'll find! :razz:
I am going to inventory all my stuff ... I know I have a bit of everything and it sounds like a few people might like them. off hand I know I have an alphabet of square fancy gothic stamping letters various punches and scissers that have large zigzag. this gives me the push to organize the lot of it
I usually go to Urban Scrapbook, and at the back of the store the have a clearance section. The clearance items are usually 25 - 75% off. I like the variety a selection they have.

I live nowhere near any scrapbook stores nor do I have any luck at Walmart for my scrapbook, so I buy online. I like these, and buy from them frequently. great prices, and good shipping prices. (Money is tight for me, so I have to be careful!)

Check them out...they are daily deals. I have replenished my supplies, and then some.
Good luck! if you need any other info, pm me.
I bought Tim Holtz stamps off ebay 24 packs for $60. they are regular price $25 at Michaels. I also watch you tube for tips on making your own glimmer mist and shimmerz paints.
We are planning to do the standard one, which for me is more satisfying than making those online blogs. The first element you need to do is to have scrapbook provides. You can build creative artwork with your journal by mixing various kinds of color and products.
