I love Scrapbook Warehouse – I’ve been going there regularly for many years. They have a little bit of a lot of things, and they’re more than happy to make recommendations if you aren’t sure the pros/cons of a particular material. I definitely prefer visiting Scrapbook Warehouse instead of Michael’s as I know the staff are knowledgeable(some more than others) and helpful(some more than others). The other great thing about Scrapbook Warehouse is that they offer classes. They have Drop in Cardmaking every Saturday, with hands-on mini-classes for $ 5(for materials) from 11−3pm. You can just drop in, no reservation necessary, and they run every 15 minutes. They feature a different technique every week. The prices are comparative to other places I’ve gone, and they even have a Rewards card for when you spend $ 200. They get lots of seasonal stuff rotating in, which means you can visit regularly and always see new stuff. They’ve also got a number of completed projects on display for inspiration.

In general they have a decent selection of scrap booking material, however, was looking for a particular theme to do my scrap book from Spain and came out with very little material to work on said book. Prices were decent. They have lots of generic stuff and some specialty stuff, however, I need somethings that weren’t just train but more specific. Pricing is competitive and there was lots of inspiration for other projects like home made cards(which I specialize in for the holidays). It’s not in a location that gets a lot of foot traffic, therefore, it’s defiantly by word of mouth.

I’m an avid fan of the Scrapbook Warehouse. The staff there are very knowledgeable and extremely helpful, I’ve never found them to be at all pushy and they have the perfect balance of checking up on you and letting you roam freely in the store for as long as possible. They also offer some great card classes. Definitely the place to go if you want great prices and great selection.

Has great products, needs an overhaul on its staff. Not friendly or helpful to me at all. They were to the fellow grandma ahead of me… Maybe they don’t like 20 year olds?

I really don’t appreciate the store owner’s attitude and pushiness. She pushed and talked me into buying something I didn’t need nor liked. As soon as I went to Michael’s I was so upset because I found a better product for a lesser price. Unfortunately, Scrapbook warehouse’s sale was final.

A lot of crafting /scrapbooking stores have closed their doors, but the Scrapbook Warehouse has been around and I hope to be for a very long time. Their selection is current and follow the trends while still having a lot of the staple items. The prices are very competitive compared to the big box stores and often have great sales. Have a question about crafting techniques, or need some inspiration? Check out their many samples and the staff are very willing to give a helping hand. I’ll admit, I never leave the store empty handed.

I needed to get some fancy paper so I decided to pay the Scrapbook Warehouse a visit. It is a small store in the industrial area underneath the Oak street bridge. I had been to Deserres and Michael’s but I thought this place might have more interesting stuff. This store definitely had more specialty scrapbooking paper compared to the Deserres and Michael’s. However, it is a little weird to be the only person in the store. I wouldn’t say the shopping experience was that pleasant as it was very quiet in the store in general. Overall, some interesting products at the store.

Just started scrapbooking recently and decided to explore the city for materials. Saw this on Unilocal and went by bus. Really fascinated by the amount of selection they have under each things.(ex. papers, punches, clear stamps…) The pricing is similar to Michael’s except they have stamp cards, so you get $ 10 for purchases of $ 200. There are some really good deals when they go on sale.(ex. 3 scrapbooking papers for $ 1)

I’m not really a scrapbooking person, but walking into this place, with all its supplies of stamps and paper made me inspired. If you can’t find the scrapbooking supplies you need at Michael’s, this is the place to go.

For scrapbooking supplies, this is the only place I go. They have a great selection, not of just what’s «in fashion» this season, but a good stock of the standard scrapping necessities. Plus they have the best card classes! Their prices are really good in comparison to some competitors, usually the paper is cheaper by 10 – 20 cents at the warehouse rather than other places I’ve gone to. Staff is friendly, and always willing to stop and talk about a project or help figure out what to do with a card for the in-laws or someone picky!
