Next Time You See a Sign that Says "Yard Sale", Put Your Scrapbookers Thinking Cap and Go Shopping!
Scrapbooking is a huge and quickly growing cottage industry craft. I have been involved with scrapbooking for 10 years. It is amazing how it has changed. From simple to ornate, from flat to bulky. "Anything goes" in scrapbooking it seems. Acid free is a concern, but even with that issue, the embellishments and supplies currently on market are addressing that so you don't have to! New supplies come out every month, if not every week. I go to craft stores in my area and just browse the scrapbook isles and every time I go, there are new features, new items, new embellishments. Seems it is never ending. And that is great. Scrapbooking is a fantastic craft, while being in my opinion, the best way to preserve memories for generations.As usual though, expense is always an issue. Although I do admit scrapbook supplies have gotten a lot more reasonable in price today than they were 5-10 years ago, sometimes they are still to expensive and if you don't have the income to accomodate, well, the scrapper you are makes you look elsewhere so that you can still preserve your memories for generations to come and satisfy your budget! So where can you find affordable scrapbooking supplies? Well, you can always shop store sales and use coupons. I have found that to be a great way to get the more expensive stuff. Coupons can also work for the less expensive items too, but sometimes they just don't have what you want. So since scrapbooking is a craft, use your crafty mind and think about how you can conquer expense to save your memories.
Where can you find really good supplies and embellishments at really low prices? Yard sales! Yes, that's right, yard sales...or garage sale, estate sales or rummage sales. These sales are a treasure trove for craft supplies! One man's junk is another man's treasure" - really speaks loudly for the crafter.
