Since I started this I've been spending a ton-way too much. Where do you buy your supplies? I saw the thread about bargainpack and I've got the oriental trading scrapbooking catalog, are those good cheap places? Where else do you get a good deal? Right now all my shopping has been at AC Moore or Michaels with their 40% sales and coupons. Since I'm new I still have alot to buy! Like eyelets,brads, etc all that little stuff that adds up!

Going to Michaels, Hobby Lobby and ACMoore with the coupons is a really great way to stock up on your supplies. bargainpack is a GREAT website to get things off of. I would use your coupons to get the bigger stuff and order smaller stuff like brads and such off of bargainpack. If you ever need something start a post with what you are in need of maybe someone here has it available for trade. Also if you have smaller craft stores like Dollar Tree or Big Lots check them out sometimes they can have cute little embellishments to use. Oh and check out a Local Scrapbooking Store. Even though their stuff is usually a lot more then the other stores you can definately get ideas. They also usually have specialty items like if you are doing a certain sport, religion or event.
Hope that helps! Can't wait to see you pages Stacia!

I watch for clearance prices and I sometimes go to Hobby Lobby when they have there 50% off sales. Bargainpack is great and also there is a website called www.frugalities.com where they change the percent off everyday. I think the highest I have seen it is 49% off. Oh...if you have an Archivers store near by they have a $1 corner where they have a lot of nice stuff for only a dollar and my Archivers also has a clearance wall and they have tons of paper and other embellishments and stuff for pretty good prices.

I have found great embellishments at Dollar Tree and Big Lots for reasonable. I would also suggest Michaels with 40% off coupon. I think that Joanns as better prices. I have found that scrapbookpal.com has a GREAT price on adhesives like the Tombo Mono. I also find great prices at my local Walmart on scrapbooking items. Joann's recently had the crop-a-dile tool with the case and a bunch of eyelets for $22. I am not sure if it is still available but I got it there a couple of weeks ago.

Thanks ladies! I bought the crop-a-dile last week at AC Moore with the coupon. LOL I don't even have any eyelets yet, but kept reading about how cool it is! I really want the Cricut, I love all their lettering, I'm gonna get it for Christmas if it goes on sale again. I want the Expressions starter pack.
