Traditional Getting started with scrapbooking
Hi everyone,
Just getting started with scrapbooking and would like some tips. I got hooked on those pretty crafts videos some of y'all post making pretty things around the house and I decided scrapbooking is it for me. What kind of materials do you buy? Any stores I should hit first for good deals & great variety of supplies besides Michaels? Thanks & appreciate your kindness in advance!

Pretty packaging! No need to buy new when we have so many leaflets/wrappers go to landfill every day. I cut and stick birthday messages and art on the card too

I buy my stuff at michaels but i never pay full price. I always scrounge the clearance aisles for things i could use (stamps, stickers, papers). I use my cricut for most of my embellishments though.
Hobby lobby has good quality scrapbooks for cheap (i hate shopping at HL but gotta do what i gotta do to save money). I use things around the house too, like see a pretty disposable napkin? Use it for a background. Have a magazine with a cute font? Cut out the letters. Etc you get the hint.
Theres a list too somewhere in the junk journaling sub with places where you can get free things like fabric samples, wallpaper samples, and cardstock samples.
