Calling All Scrapbookers.

[eyoreaud]

Hi All

Does anyone know where i can buy good Scrapbooking supplies? It doesn't have to be a shop, i don't mind shopping on-line

My 2 Dd's and i have been sorting through all our old photos and keepsakes from years of holidays and have started scrapbooking, but i'm running short of decent supplies

I looked on the scrapbooking forum but most of the sites are in the US. I am going to have a look around the stores in Florida but as we're not going back till Dec, i just wondered if any of you lovely peeps knew where i could get some more supplies?

Thanks

They are all quite expensive tho

I am a card maker and I know some of the materials are interchangable

I use

http://www.cheapdies.co.uk/ They have some great card and papers

http://www.craftsulove.co.uk/ these guys have Disney scrapbooks though I've no idea how prices compare

Also I use the Range - there is one near me but they are also on line http://www.therange.co.uk/

HI Aud
DW uses Mousememories alot, they are is the US ( Kissimmee)but they do have a very big selection of disney stuff and it's not that expensive to ship especially if it's split between three of you.

Audrey........... try www.qvcuk.com

They usually have lots of craft supplies - not sure how expensive they are though.

There's quite a lot of crafting shows/supplies on TV. As well as QVC there's also Create & Craft and Sky 649...

Thanks for the info guys,

I did see something on Sky once but couldn't remember where LOL! I wish we had some good craft shops around here like they have in the US so we could actually have a look through the stuff before we buy, some of the papers i have seen have been of very poor quality I am always on the lookout for embellishments and other odds and ends, i think i'm getting obsessed!

If you visit www.ukscrappers.co.uk they have a page dedicated to sponsor shops, there's dozens and dozens listed. If you join the board you can also use the shopping areas where you can ask if anyone is stocking a particular product and shop owners will reply to you.

Have you a Hobbycraft store near you. they have a web site ..

I've used american sites in the past as you can get twice as much and they sometimes add freebies. Just make sure you dont go over the £18/ $32 mark as customs might send a calling card.

 

[eyoreaud]

Oh, thank you sooooo much guys! Those sites are Fab! I'm going to send for some more stuff tomorrow because i'm running out. I saw a thing for storing paper on a couple of those sites but it's quite expensive.

I know you can get plastic boxes etc in B&Q and similar places but i cannot seem to get them large enough to fit my papers in, (i have a lot of the larger sized pages) storage is such a problem because i don't want to ruin my pages, some are curling at the edges already

Thanks again all, much appreciated

 

[emily1982]

i store my paper in filer things...u can get them in craft shops quite cheaply but they fit 12x12 papers perfectly.

 

[Dimplenose]

Have you got a Staples or partners nearby? They sell 12x12 plastic boxes made by Really Useful Box - I think it's their 7litre box.

Thanx again

Aud, I have used quite a few on-line places for my scrapping supplies. My two favourites, though are:
