Stuff

Go to eBay. there are millions of stuff under scrapbooking. You can get some great deal on there.

I did a search on scrapbooking punches and here is what it brought up.

I also got alot of stuff at hobby lobby, michaels, target, walmart, & joanns.

Yanya,

What kind of "stuff"? If you have a photo editing software and photo printer, you can create some of your own embellishments. Here are a couple of articles on my web site that tell you how:

I have been to ebay and the things that I see go to be really expensive....And I dont have anything to do my own designs on the pictures....I wish that I did. ~~Yanya~~

Well, what kind of "stuff" are you looking for? There is a store near me called the "Dollartree". They have scrapbooking "stuff". It takes coming back a few times to catch them at the right time when they have scrapbooking items. They sell out fast. It's by the grocery store so I usually check in before grocery shopping. Also check for crafting stuff at the Dollartree. That is where I found the quilling kits. That was fun to try for scrapbooking.

Also there is a store called Big Lots I find scrapping stuff there. Also, check out your craft stores there is a Beverly's near me and they have a basket of stuff that is on clearance. I like to go through the basket and see what's in there. Finding cheap items just takes time rather than money.

Yes Melissa...P o Box 565 White Springs, Fla 32096 I look at the Dollar Tree, Dollar Crazy, Walmart, Ebay and I still can not find anything for the price.

I'll have to echo the other members here on checking the clearance items out in the craft stores, and check out Ebay. I have gotten some really GREAT deals on Sizzix and other items on Ebay. I didn't start out with much either! I started out with only my pictures, a paper trimmer, cardstock and some patterned paper, and sticky photo tabs. As I went to craft stores, I got ideas, and I checked out the online sales for Michaels, JoAnns, and Hobby Lobby every Sunday, and bought a little here and a little there, and NOW.... I am outta control!! LOL LOL Can we say FLASS?? Seriously though..take your time to LOOK for those bargains! They are out there! Good luck to ya! :-)

I was just at the Dollartree today and last time I was there they had nothing. Today I spent $15 and have paper and matching stickers for about

25 LO's. Finding things at a discount takes persistance. Like with ebay.... checking using the search function everytime you're on the computer you're bound to find a discount now and then.

I know....but it is also hard that when I am on there and it gives me nothing. Sorry.... Every chance that I get I am at Walmart, the Dollar Store and any store that I go into to, I look for cheap and cool things to use. There is something that I see on Ebay every now and then and then when I do see it, it always goes past the price that I can afford. It is the mat with the 3 round cutters. Mel J has them and I love them and am having a hard time finding them. ~~Yanya~~

**Lost** (lol)

Yanya....Wall-Mart has scrapbooking stuff cheaper than most and Michaels is good for just about anything plus they have weekly sales and a coupon for 40% off and sometimes 50% off one item. That is a good time to buy an expensive item you may be yearning for. That's how a lot of us got our Sizzix and dies. Sometimes I can get adhesives cheaper at my corner drugstore. Just keep an eye out every where you go!

I found scrapbook stuff at BIG LOTS yesterday! I've not been in a Big Lots for well over a year and just decided to wander in. I was very surprised at all they had. Also, the Dollar Tree has some stuff. A lot of it is pretty "cheesy", but some of it is okay. I've bought some alphabet stickers from them.

Are you talking about the Creative Memories mat and 3 cutters? Maybe you can have a CM show and win it?

You can also use a Coluzzle or Fiskar cutting tool to make circles . You can probably get these at Michael's with the 40% coupon. One week buy the coluzzle and the next week buy the mat and then the shapes. The coluzzle will give you more of a variety. They have shapes and letters.

That is exaclty what I am looking for....I am going to to Michaels and/or Joann's this weekend ~~Yanya~~

I've actually got some really cute things at the Dollar Tree... you just have to keep an eye on it and look as often as possible. ATM the Dollar Tree down the street has nothing but I keep on going in to check just in case. That baby album I made (

) was almost entirely done with Dollar Tree paper and stickers - even the rubber stamp came from DT!

Yanya, you might check out the website for Creative Memories and try to find a consultant that sells that product. Try this link? Or go to creativememories.com and look for Consultant finder in your area.

Let me know if you are looking for the fiskars one. It's the one that looks like a space ship . I don't remember the name. If you like that one you can have mine. I have a few templates to go with it. I don't have the mat. If you want it reply here and then we can exchange emails and I can get your address.

The best thing that I think that I found was the 10 inch paper cutter for $1.99..How cool is that. We went today to a cpl of stores called *Scrap Heads and Scrap USA* and between the 2 stores I only spent $20.00....I think that I am gonna be like Dave....lol....j/k.....I did buy mostly paper though.....Cool looking paper.....But I am proud of myself for restraining on buying half of the stores....lol....My poor mom was looking through the store and she had no clue what she was looking for but she did a good job helping me look though.... Ok well I just wanted to share the good news about my goodies....lol.... Im gonna take a nap now....lol ~~Yanya~~
