Where do you like to shop for scrapbook stuff? Do you shop online mostly? Are there any LSS in your state?
I would love to create a list of shops that are still open both online and brick/mortar. I like to find out if there is a local scrap shop if/when I travel, so I can stop in and spend a few dollars. I'm going to go ahead and create the thread, and I'll edit with stores that you share with me and their websites/Facebook pages.

Create for Less (or is it 4 Less?) .com
They sell and odd selection of scrapbook stuff (if you ever need 25 of a specific sheet of pattern paper this is your place) but they do sell things and it's where I stock up on cardstock.

There is a list of LSS for each state on this site.
As for online stores, I think they are too fluid to track.

I literally JUST got back from Pine City Scrapbooking Company. THEY ROCK!! Right now they are doing online and curbside pick up, but it is more like a vending machine for scrapbook supplies! I ordered online, a little while later they sent me an email stating my order was ready. I got a locker number. When I get there, I let myself in (code) and then go to my locker where my order is. OMG. So easy, so awesome!!! Their online ordering is great too, the other stuff I have ordered came really fast. They are local, (MN) independently, family owned and I just want them to survive this situation and thrive again! www.thepinecityscrapbookingco.com/ |

Nice! I don't have a local LSS and don't care for the big box unless I need something in a pinch. I shop mostly online now. And with the SIP I've discovered several online "events" that I've watched demos and purchased from.

I like lists. You could add Peachy Cheap  and Ali Express (risky of course, and problematic in many ways) and has anyone here shopped at a place called Studio Calico? Maybe some of you have an opinion or two you could share about this one?  |

The Rubber BuggyI've discovered Rubber Buggy for Mintay. the rest of my online go to's are already listed. Though I just bought from Not Just for Boys, for cutfiles already cut, and had a great experience, quick shipping and a well packed package. I've had issues with packaging. Michaels sent me plastic paper organizers in a plastic bag envelope! the envelope was torn, the organizers were cracked and dirty from shipper leaving them at my gate. Luckily, I could return to store, once they reopened and return was super easy. I've noticed Joanne send a couple of paper packs in the same plastic bag envelope. There is another company (kit club) I won't mention...it was stuffed in an envelope and came to me bent. I've had issues with 2 orders with this company and won't shop again. So I was sooo happy to get those cutfiles in a well packaged box from 'Not Just for Boys'.

Not Just for Boys does a great job with packing and their products come super quick. I can't recommend them enough, although I don't want to because their stock sells out so quickly and I don't want the competition.  Scrapbook.com also does a great job with packing and they have really good customer service. I had a problem with a product and they sent me another one immediately and I didn't have to send back the defective one. I bought from Cocoa Vanilla directly. It took over a month to get here (they are in Australia, I'm in Ohio), probably due to Covid, but I saw that it left their building within a day. When I got the package the outside was absolutely destroyed but the product within was perfect. I loved both of their boy lines and there aren't a lot of places selling it in North America. I also bought from Wild Whisper directly and the product came quickly and was packaged well. |

Scrapyourtrip.com is a favorite of mine. I also love the scrapbook supplies I can get from Etsy. There are some great sellers on there.

Down here in Australia I have one local bricks and mortar, and our big craft chain Spotlight sells scrapping stuff but mainly AC and Kaisercraft, they don’t even stock simple stories.
For the Aussies - the online shops I use are
sassy scrapper (stocks Elle’s studio)
Craft online
Scrapboutique (stocks some Ali Edwards)
Crafty Pleasures (she’s on FB only)

I like Pinecone Press for mini album and project kits. I've only purchased their products at expos (not online) so I can't offer an opinion on that side of their business, but it's fun stuff. Here's a link to one of my favorite project kits: www.pineconepressdesign.com/product-page/christmas-woody |

This year I lost my favorite store. I went through withdrawals coupled with COVID closings. So I’m ordering online more than before. Mostly peachy cheap and scrapbook.com. I miss brick and mortar stores so much. The closest on to me now is about 2 hours away.

We don't have any local scrapbooking stores in NYC, sadly. Not as far as I'm aware of anyway. Paper Presentation used to carry a lot of name brand scrapbooking supplies and I'd shop there often, but then they got rid of almost all of it, and then they changed owners and name. RIP! I love, love The Ink Pad, though. It's not specifically a scrapbooking store but you can get lots of stamps and other paper crafting supplies there. It's run by a lovely woman named Anna and she's been in business for over 20 years! |
