Martha Stewart Scrapbooks - Pros and Cons?

[TinkerBean]

Does anyone use them...cons other than price and proprietary systems...

(I figure I can use the 40% off coupons which makes the 12x12 $18)

I haven't purchased any - but do have a few of her paper packs.

Pro - Most people don't buy her stuff at M's, so I always get my MS stuff 50% off in clearance. I have never paid full price for her stuff. :thumbsup2

You can always test-run a book from clearance. I was just at my M's yesterday, and I know they had a bunch of her stuff. After I left, not so much. :rotfl2:

FYI, most of the time the 40% coupons don't work on Martha Stewart stuff - says so in tiny little print somewhere in the ad, just like the Cricut stuff. However, as pointed out above, I don't think her stuff is selling well at all because there's always something now in the discount bins. Haven't seen her books there tho, just ribbon.

I got an MS book on 50% clearance last year but I haven't used it yet so I'm sorry I'm not much help. It's so pretty, an unusual size, and the price was right. I haven't seen the disclaimer about MS stuff on the Michael's coupons lately (the Cricut one is still there, unfortunately) and I know my Michael's takes competitor coupons, so I've used 40% off competitor coupons on MS stuff no problem. I've gotten several of her tools (all with coupons or on clearance) and I have to say I love them, excellent quality.
