The discount shops, like Ocean State Job Lot, and Michaels craft shop (which is more expensive). They have the acid free paper, the stickers, the glue, and many ideas with ribbons and stampers, and highlighters.
There is a website for scrapbookers, and you can ask directly there, where to find material in your local area.
Check your local drugstores for specials on the stick glue, the decorative stickers, and the dollar shops have these materials for $1.00. You shouldn’t have to spend a fortune, they have a magazine for scrapbookers, too.
If you have a Micheals, some have scrapingbooking classes where you can use their equipment, and get ideas.. The classes are $5 or $10.
You really can buy this stuff anywhere now. Michael’s, ACMoore, JoAnn,Walmart and dollar stores of all places carry lots of supplies. Check out HGTV.com and check out their video library for some tips on getting started.You can also use lots of stuff that isn’t just for scrapbooking. Cloth, latches, keys ,wire ,beads…..not just stickers and paper! Get a good glue,a sharp pair of scissors and a basic album (decorate the cover to fit your own style) are all you need. Have fun!
Michael’s, A.C. Moore or Hobby Lobby…..I do not care for JoAnns and do not recommend them.
