Save on Scrapbooking Supplies Using These Tips

The most apparent way to save money is to find a place to mercantile establishment that sells scrapbooking supplies at a discount. I have found that website stores actually have lower prices then stores. One information is they carry the Hermafix Dotto Glue Refill for $3.99, this is $2.00 less then the two public transport scrapbooking suppliers. The only feather region of this is that you will have to wait for it. So I like to find a site that ships same day. Another thing to look for on a scrapbook products website is people shipping. Good sites will offer people shipping if your command is over a certain amount. The lower, the better! The lowest I have seen is $25 and that is beautiful good.

Cutting Material Costs

Another way to save money on scrapbooking products is by using 12×12papers. You get more for the money than buying 8 1/2×11. It also goes along way. Also, get a wide variety of cardstock colors. You always use cardstock on a layout. Sometimes, that’s all I use on a layout. This way, you don’t use and therefore you don’t need to buy patterned paper. This cuts feather costs a lot.

“Easy on the embellishments, please”

A way to save more is by creating by removal feather on scrapbooking accessories, like embellishments. The real focus of pages is supposed to be the pictures anyway. You won’t have to spend money on little doodads and you’ll save time too by not having to make thing special.

If you just can’t go without using embellishments, buy general embellishment materials that can be used on several antithetic layouts instead of buying embellishments for one specific page. For example, get fibers in a package that has several antithetic colors. Tags are another good embellishment that will go on any layout.

Scrapbooking doesn’t have to be expensive. Remember that the whole purpose of scrapbooks is the photos and the memories, not how much money you spent!

Debbie Luker has been scrapbooking for over 7 years. Although she has enjoyed making memory books for several clients, she is now more focused on getting her work published on websites and magazines. She has been on 2 antithetic creating by mental acts teams for suppliers, the most new being ScrapbookP an online scrapbook supplies store.
