I have never scrapbook before but yesterday I wanted to do something with all the keep sakes that Pookie and I have collected over the years.

We went to an AC Moore store to look around and wow base on items available scrapbooking looks like an intense hobby.

They items I have no clue what you do with it and in my opinion the prices was high for the little quanitity you get in a package like decals etc.
The store had some completed layouts that look great and I think this is something fun for me and my partner to do together while they watch the race.

Do you have any recommindations?
I would like to shop at a place that is little more cheaper

There is no such thing as a discount Scrapbook store.


Trust me on this I am married to a scrapbooker.


Sign up for the specials for AC Moore & Hobby Lobby

For instance some weeks you may get 50% off Joliee stickers etc.

Also check Michaels usually an advert Every other Sunday.

Also check Scrap Shak in Mooresville & Family Memories near Whitehall.

If you get into Cricut products Ebay is your friend.

Hope this helps, if anybody else has suggestions please add to this

Sunny, I've been shopping at AC Moore store #1 since the company opened it, when the company started. There's a trick to shopping there to get the most bang for your buck.

Sign up online & you will be emailed the weekly sale flyer & coupons. Also, watch for Midnight Madness. (20% off on non-sales items)

We have other chains here (Michael's etc.) and local shops, but if you watch the sales, you can do best over all at AC Moore. I can't speak for the store that you went to, but in Store #1 there are always clearance items if you look around.

Well you all just missed the CK scrapbooking convention which was 15th & 16th, I believe they are here in August every year.

Sunny, I needed something at AC Moore today, so while I was there asked them about clearence items.

I was told that clearance items are spotty from store to store, but that you should check the website because the items sold online are sometimes different from what is sold in the stores.

Hope that helps.
