Shopping: All About Scrapbooking

It's been a while since I last shopped for scrapbook supplies. Most of my layouts are now digital, I don't have to spend for my materials because there are tons of free kits available on the net. I get to save a lot of money (and space)! This weekend, I went to National Bookstore to check out the books that are on sale (by the way, the Cut-Price Book Sale is until Aug 19), but then I found myself in the All About Scrapbooking section and hoarded bought these items... I included the prices in case you want to buy for yourself too!

1) It's All About Love Paper Stack, P115:
I was browsing the books section when this stack caught my eye from afar.. Look at how tasteful these patterns are! Seems expensive, but it's not! For only P115, you get 50 sheets of 6 x 6"160gsm paper in 10 different designs. Not bad! My sister also bought one for her Paper Fashions projects.

My top 4 favorite designs:

2) Satin Flowers, P32.50, 18 pieces:

I have yet to ask my fellow scrapbookers about the right adhesive to use for these flowers. Love the colors, they go well with my printed paper stack.

3) Alphabet and Number Foam Stickers, Big, P69.50  Small, P32.50:

I'm planning to use these stickers as stencils, just like what I do with my magnetic refrigerator letters.

4) Felt Stickers, P46.50:

I'm a fan of the pink and brown color combination.

5) Paper Flowers, P32.50 (on sale, original price: P42.50):

Will use these for my friends' Hawaiian-themed debut party layouts. (Yes, I'm 10 years behind. :) Still haven't finished my 4th year high school scrapbook.) These paper flowers are also available in pink/purple and green/yellow/black color combinations, I just stopped myself from buying them, had too much clutter stuff in my basket already :)

This trip to my favorite store made me want to go back to traditional scrapbooking again! I also got inspired after seeing the photos from the Make More Memories event held last August 4.. I wasn't able to join cause I had no time to prepare my materials and photos, I only read about the event 2 days before the scheduled date. (Must remind myself to check the FB group news feed more often! )  Good thing Sunshine organized another event for scrapbookers - Online Crop Date! We'll get together on Facebook to scrap and post our projects. There will be fun challenges and prizes to be given out! Let me know if you're interested to join!
