A cheaper way ...

Alright so I realized some thing and thought I would share! JoAnn Fabrics puts all the scrapbook stuff on clearance after each season. So I am staying a season behind. At the end of summer all the summer stuff went on clearance so I am working on my summer scrapbook right now. Come the end of fall when that stuff goes on clearnace I will start it. So if you stay a season behind you can actually save a bundle! Or buy for the next year and that will help too.
Do you ever do that? Stock up when you find seasoned clearance? What about clearance at all?
Also on another note: Target has started selling scrapbook stuff in there dollar isle. Some of its worth it other stuff isn't but I found paper it was 6 sheets for a dollar. Thats not bad - at least I don't think so!

The majority of the scrapbooking stuff I buy is discounted or clearanced. It just doesn't make sense to spend extra when you know it will be going on sale in just a few months. If you are concerned about having your items archival safe in your scrapbook, you need to watch out for the dollar bins, sometimes the items are not acid or lingin free. You can also find stuff at the Dollar Store too.

They have one now, that's good to know. I have been using Archival Mist for years. I can't remember how much the 5 oz bottle cost (still on my first bottle), but I know it was under $15.

I shop JOann Fabrics online because when I buy with my credit card I get money back for my upromise account which I love. But I do browse their clearance section, I found a wonderful book for like half off at one time. I'm actually going to be shopping there in a few moments to see what I can find.
