Shopping for scrapbook supplies
While specialty scrapbook stores are definitely the place to go if you’re looking for new and trendy items, many crafters don’t have access to these great resources. The nearest scrapbook store is now about 2 ½ hours from my home in a location I really have no other reason to visit. So, I must be creative when shopping for supplies.
Places I like to buy items for my scrapbook stash include:
- Hobby Lobby – They’re not as up on the “trends” as a specialized scrapbook store, but you can find good deals on cardstock, adhesives, and other basics.
- Wal-Mart – Don’t forget to check out clearance section! Just this weekend, I picked up a Mickey font cartridge for my Cricut for $20.
- Dollar Tree – Oddly enough, the Dollar Tree is a wonderful place for buying craft supplies. You can find stickers, patterned paper, and chipboard, as well as yarn, beads, and ribbon that can be used to make your own unique scrapbook embellishments.
Of course, if there’s a particular “must-have” item on your list, there are plenty of Web sites willing to ship products directly to your door! My personal favorite is A Cherry on Top Scrapbooking Shoppe .

Thank you for the new link to a shop I’ve never heard of! I do agree that you can get a lot at Dollar Tree. I have gotten plenty of things there. I have a scrapbook store that I love, but it’s far enough away that I have to have another reason to go to that area of town.
