I discovered this type of scrapbook at a craft fair last fall & figured out how to make them. My daughter asked me to send her the instructions.

Im making a scrapbook for my boyfriend as a New Years present. I need stores only in Ontario Canada (in the richmondhill, North York, Thornhill or Vaughan) If anyone knows any stores please tell me the name and location. Also if i buy the scrapbook can i still decorate the front/title page? I want it to look very holiday-ish with red and green and stuff =)

Michaels has everything you need . I have seen scrapbooking supplies at a lot of the better dollar stores. I’m in Brampton but I’m sure you have at lot near you.
Here’s a link for you to check out.

I have a bunch of pictures at the developer and I want to start scrapbooking. I need some advice on how to cut them to size for my pages. I was planning on using an exacto blade and a ruler. I don’t have much money left because I spent plenty on scrapbooking supplies. Would using an exacto blade or scissors be alright? I want to make sure the pictures are straight.

Also….

If you have any scrapbooking advice or links for beginners that would be greatly appreciated.

Hello – I explained this in your other question, cut the paper itself and put your picture behind the paper so you don’t have to cut your actual picture and it looks neater. Use an exacto knife to cut shapes out. It will be like matting for a picture frame

Why do you go to your favorite scrapbook store? Is it because they have the biggest paper collection? Or the more helpful, knowledgable employees?

What is it that you like best about your favorite scrapbook stores?

Thanks!

Well I would have to say that the best thing about my local scrapbook store is the wonderful, knowledgeable employees! They are so wonderful. If there is a new technique or product, they take the time to show me how to do it. If I have a page that is not quite working right, I can take it in and they make helpful suggestions. They have helped me with ideas for gift scrapbooks.

My local store also offers great classes using all the hottest items. The will also let customers book the "scrap room" for free in order to have little crop sessions with friends. That is always fun and give us a chance to spread out our work more than we could at home. This store has cards for frequent shoppers. One is, take ten classes, get one class free. Another is a 10% discount with an extra 5-10% off on select products each month.

Of course, product quality and selection is always a must. With out that, no one would purchase much. And a good clearance or sale section is a bonus (it’s my first stop every time I go into my local store)!

Hope that helps!

I want to buy someone the Cricut for a Christmas gift exchange because I know she would love to have it, but it a couple hundred more than I thought it was. Is there a similar product our there that I can find for her. She loves doing crafts and scrapbooks and artwork for and with her kids. Any ideas on a comparable product that’s less expensive or even ideas/suggestions for a gift would be appreciated.

I own a Cuttlebug which is worth it’s weight in gold. You can use die cuts in it or use it for embossing.
It is a really easy machine to use and with very little practise you can turn out professional looking results every time.
It does have its limitations – it is a manual machine and you cannot alter the size of the die you are using.
On the plus side it’s far cheaper than the cricut and the embossing folders and dies are reasonably priced. It folds up so doesn’t take up a lot of space on a worktop.
I don’t think you can go far wrong with this machine.
You can use other brands such as Sissex and Nestabilities in it.
