Just wondering what some great internet stores are out there for scrapbooking. I’m looking for a place where things are inexpensive and that don’t have outrageous shipping costs! Thanks in advance and God bless!
I do a lot of military scrapbooking…so most of site I get scrapbook supplies from at military ones… Creatingmilitarymemories.com is a popular one for me…or SGTGrit is another good one… otherwise…i just go the the company website…such as I really like K & Company…so i just go to the website and order from there….otherwise…I go to JoAnnFabrics.com….they ‘almost always’ have a 40% off one regular priced item coupon that you can use…so its kinda ano brainer to order at least one thing from there…not sure what shipping charges are though b/c they have s tore near to me, so i actually do in-store scrapbook shopping (and still use the coupon b/c its in their weekly flyer)…

I want to archive my track and field mementos—articles, ribbons, medals, etc. I hate the look, feel, and kitschy look of scrapbooking, but I want these pieces archived in a nice way. Any suggestions?
You should choose a scrapbook you like that is not too “froo-froo” and then get a package of that background paper (or buy ones you like separately.) Put all your stuff in the album and just label with a pen or nice marker what all the stuff is or whatever it is you want to say about the page. It is really only a scrapbook if you put like scraps of things and label the items with things such as: “a tissue that Grandpa used at Grandma’s funeral.” or anything like that…. For my mom’s birthday last year, I made a scrapbook for her, but it was just photographs arranged in a nice way with pretty background paper and A FEW stickers on eack page. it looks really nice. It is not overdone and there is no texture or anything like that. It is a colorful, nice way to remember things that happened or that you participated in such as your track. dont over or underdo yourself. make it so that it expresses who you are because that is ehat scrapbooking is all about. If you just throw pictures in a book, then years later when you look back at it, you are going to wish that it had more personality to it. I REALLY hope this helped because I am a really slow typer and that just took a very long time to do!! LOL

The costs for scrapbooking can really add up. What are some ways to save?
There are two variants. 1. You can go into digital scrapooking. Though there has been a recent discussion on whether digital scrapbooking is really cheaper (it was about cost of 12×12 printing) http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Av0I.hCkTMfB0I6z_2lZoX7ty6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20080507030105AAi3JGE&show=7#profile-info-qZd9GZI3aa 2. You can try so called “printables”. These are digital images that you can print out and use in your paper scrapbooks. If you have color printer at home, this might be a good solution.
