SCRAPBOOKING TIPS

SCRAPBOOKING TIPS

When shopping for scrapbook supplies bring along the photos or whatever you are trying to match.  

Many of the scrapbooking stores have Sunday paper coupons and sometimes in store coupons. If you have a coupon for a store that is not near you try the store near you as stores sometimes match their competitors. It’s worth a try.

Stay tuned to the scrapbooking clubs in your area as some have occasional yard sales. Don’t forget EBay. Remember the merchandise on EBay can change weekly.

The temptation to stock up on everything you may need is not always a good idea. Your plans can change and then there is a continuing problem of where to store it. It is better to purchase supplies with a specific project in mind. That way you can eliminate waste and redundancy. How many of us have loaded up on supplies for any project we may undertake and then when the time comes where some of the supplies are need it becomes easier to repurchase the supplies rather than try to find them. I know I’m not the only one that does that.

After scrapbooking for awhile, you will have a better idea of the supplies you will use and be able to minimize expenses, cut down on desktop clutter and minimize storage problems.
