Hopefully someone will read this and respond! I've never posted in this section before =)
I was wondering if someone could suggest a good place to purchase scrapbooking materials (I already have a book, but if you have a suggestion for another one, I'd love to take a look). I'm scrapbooking a wedding with photos that I am taking from the engagement right on through to the wedding (bridal party & bachelorette party included)!!
I'm just having a hard time finding inexpensive materials! This is the first time I will be making a scrapbook and can use all the help I can get. I'm very creative when it comes to layout and design, it's just finding the stuff and getting started that I need help with!
Anything is appreciated- thanks in advance

There are a couple of places to get great stuff....Hopefully you have these where ever you live...these ones are in Orange County CA...Tall mouse crafts, Michaels crafts but they dont have a whole lot, Memories and More, and you can aways find places that sell stuff for creative memories hope this helps you.

i would try a Michael's, AC Moore, or any other large craft store. Where in NY are you? i have a directory that lists stores in NY based on city. PM me and i can find out if there is a scrapbook store near you.
Even Walmart and Target carry scrapbook supplies now. |

I've found ebay to have a nice community of scrapbookers who give great deals and since most scrapbook items are small, shipping is cheaper.

I did my first scrapbook before taking a class or really looking at others. I used a lot of things I already had around the house. Put your imagination to work if you want to go really cheap! I had lots of buttons, bric-a-brac, lace, doilies, drew some things, did others on the computer, cut paper into all sorts of shapes and backgrounds.
It doesn't have to be expensive, but it surely can get that way! |

I don't know about in your area, but even here in Lansing (MI), there are several scrapbooking stores. Not too long ago, I was discussing it with my wife, I was surprised that it was such a big thing to have stores dedicated just to it. I can't recall any of there names right offhand, but maybe try the phonebook for your area?
And like others have said, I've seen the supplies in craft stores and even wal-mart, target, seems like everywhere. And also, I think jpochard is right on, you can probably be resourceful and come up with all kinds of inexpensive type of stuff :-)

Hobbylobby is the place my wife gets her stuff. I almost dread the Sunday newspaper, as she goes straight to their ad in it. Most weeks they have something on 50%. For instance this week is albums and refill pages, die cuts, paper punches and wavy scissors are all 50% off. Check out the ad at //www.hobbylobby.com/site3/weekly/specials/2005week36.jpg

| A scrapbook is simply a decorated photo album that also preserves the stories behind the photos, it can also hold certificates, letters, etc. You might have a family album as well as smaller theme albums for vacations, home improvement or a baby’s first year. Some scrapbookers create an album for each family member. |
