There are so many scrapbook papers to choose from. Chances are you’re inspired to start scrapbooking by the wealth of gorgeous papers you’ve seen in the shops.
You can buy scrapbook paper in single sheets but it’s better value to buy a pack which contains a selection of papers with complementary colours and designs.
If you want to scrapbook for free take a look around your home, particularly in your paper recycling bin. The inside of envelopes often feature lovely patterns, cut them open and you have free patterned paper. Magazines, newspapers, wrapping paper, packaging, old books . . . there are loads of options. It doesn’t even have to be paper what better way to preserve the memory of the flowers you received than by using the plastic wrapping?
Below are some of my favourites:
Craft Sensations Designer Papers
I love the designer papers from Craft Sensations. There are loads and loads of different designs to choose from. I’m literally spoilt for choice. The quality is great, they don’t feel thin or flimsy but they are fantastically good value.
I get them from the Range and typically pay just £3.99 a pack. Even on a tight budget I can afford to have a whole stack to choose from.
Make and Create Papers
Make and Create papers are exclusive to the Works and are of a very similar quality to Craft Sensations. Thye also cost just £4 a pack.
Other Designer Craft Papers
Solid Card and Paper
Plain paper can add a nice effect, especially if your patterned papers are very busy.
