Scrapbook U

A necessary stop for a intimate project. This small hidden gem has all your scrapbook needs. Quite inspiring some of the projects other people have created and they even have classes to develop your artistic bug. Everyone is friendly and definitely a place everyone can learn a lot. Definitely a place i’ll came back again because of the classes. If you want to add a unique personal touch to any gift this is a good place.

After my call, I noticed a CLOSED sign on the website!!!

Go to place for scrapbooking supplies!
Tons of paper, stickers, cutters, everything you could possibly need to scrapbook.
Friendly service and they make some very good recommendations too.
I was invited to a scrapbooking class here — it was a lot of fun!

I should be embarrassed to write this review at this stage of the game but I like to put the good word out and I have been remiss in exalting the praises of Scrapbook U. I have been shopping here oh, since the store was in existence… over 6 years. Monica and her crew over at the U do a great job of keeping the place well stocked with the latest & greatest. Honestly, for such a small store they carry so much! They are always having great events to get you in the door, like trunk shows, sample sales, sidewalk sales and inspiration events to get you wheels in gear for the big holidays and their classes are always awesome. They have a really great assortment of teachers with diverse styles and talents. Most of their teachers have a following so strong that customers will sign up to their classes even before seeing the sample project, That’s saying something!!! Their motto is «The Best Little Store Around» and they ain’t kidding. For personal service, great selection and inspiration — head over to Scrapboook U!

First off, I love this store’s location. There are so many scrapbookers that I know in the area and they all love how close this shop is to home. I’ve been coming here for scrapbooking supplies for years. They have an amazing paper and sticker selection. Think of any theme. I bet they have it. Each time I walk in, I am greeted and offered help with whatever I’m looking for. Once you come here, you will never go to Michael’s for scrapbook stuff again.

Oh Man!!! This store is like… Scrapbook heaven… AND it’s super duper close to where my bf lives. In fact, if I real quick look out the window, I can see the back of the store! I am way in love with this store, the fact that it’s not a chain, and how well the owner manages to fit so many treasures into such a small space without overwhelming the customers! Seriously, I walk in and it’s just obvious where everything is! They also have a back-​room where they have weekly sales /​classes and also frequently goodies lying around for customers to munch on.
What a great find! Another one I wish I’d known about for longer — would have saved me all of those annoying trips to Michael’s. Even if Scrapbooking stuff is expensive, at least here I know their products are excellent quality, they take care of their customers, and it feels good to support a store that’s locally owned!

This cutesy little store has so much to choose from. It’s barely busy, so don’t be afraid to ask the person working for help. When I went a cute old lady was working & showed me many different albums & helped me buy extra plastic holders. She was so sweet & helpful.
They have a very large selection & I’m not professional scrapbook maker, but as a beginner, the store has it all:]

I love this place! Small but the carry the latest and greatest. Most importantly, the owner and the staff are wonderful people who are so so so helpful and offers the best customer service!!!

You rarely see such fabulous little stores in Fremont but this one is simply divine. They are located in a small strip mall nestled near neighborhoods so it’s a bit easy to miss but definitely worth a trip.
This store had a diverse selection of products and the sale person was helpful with my questions. They didn’t have some of the specialty stickers I was hoping for but I can’t be too picky because I don’t think it’s possible for any one store to have everything your imagination desires.
I was looking for a specific color of paper and they had something that was close to it but they only had a few sheets. The sales person was kind enough to let me purchase an extra package just for me. It arrived in a couple days and I had what I needed to finish my project.
I’ll definitely come here again.

I love this little gem! It’s definitely a great asset to the scrapbooking crowd in Fremont with a huge selection of papers, stickers, etc. for such a small space. I love the staff, who are all very friendly. It’s a very welcoming atmosphere with a lot of customer loyalty. The classes are awesome as well and make for a great bonding activity with friends and/​or family. I drop in whenever I’m back in town. ♥

great selection of products and very organized! they even had MLB stickers, which are hard to find. they had some really great stickers, some that even Michael’s don’t carry. the best part – they email you coupons once a week. they had a great travel section, so you can find stickers of different vacation places ranging from Disneyland to Vegas to Africa to Japan.

This is a great little place in Ohlone Village. I’m no scrapbooker but if I were I think this would be what heaven looks like! Super cute scrapbook paper, embellishments, ribbon… everything you might need to take on a crafty project. Plus the people at the counter were amazingly helpful.

I love this place! And I love it even more because they carry a whole wall-​full of Bazzill paper in lots and lots of different colors to choose from! SCORE! I usually go to Memories in San Jose, but in times that I cannot get there, then this quaint little shop satisfies my need to complete my project– whether it be for scrapbooking or card-​making, Scrapbook U carries that special something that I need.
The place is super small, but packed with all kinds of goodies. I wish they had a larger selection of different kinds of eyelets and brads as they do at Making Memories, but what they have is sufficient enough. They even a small room dedicated for your stamping needs. I am on their email list and I get an update on their sales, new items, and classes. They even give you some creative ideas.
I never leave here empty-​handed for I always find something darling and useful. I have not found another scrapbook store in Fremont that can quite compete with this one.

This place is so cute. They have great themed stuff. I love their disney section. The staff is very helpful. If I see a supply in a magazine, like paper or a trimmer, I go here. I love all the stamps and cardstock selection

I’ve been to numerous scrapbook stores and this is my favorite private ownership one. The owner, Monica is fantastic. She keeps her store well-​stocked and considering she doesn’t have the floor space of say, Michael’s or Jo Ann’s, she does a superb job! She’s always getting in new goodies and is super helpful. Every time I go into her store I spend over an hour walking around, looking, ogling, getting ideas and of course filling up my shopping basket! I was there the other day and she was trying to find room for more inventory! Love that! She has anything you need to stamp and scrapbook.

I haven’t been to Scrapbook U for a while (hence, only 4 stars)… but I still have a special place in my heart for this little store. Monica, the owner, is AWESOME — no matter how much time has passed, she still remembers me and greets me with the same great smile and conversation…
Love the selection of beautiful albums and patterned paper — Monica always makes sure the customers like me are heard. :)
This place is such a gem deep in the boonies of Fremont. :)

This is actually my favorite scrapbooking store in Fremont. It’s got some cute stuff all around the perimeter of the store. The papers are very cool, too, and they’re all on racks throughout the center of the store. I haven’t taken any classes here, yet, or gone to any of the scraps, but I’m going to try to make time once my schedule opens up cause it looks fun! I love seeing the examples of the projects, too. Very inspiring! Prices are competitive, not too expensive. Definitely come by and see what they have. It’s owner operated. A small local business, not like Michael’s, so I recommend it to people just to support the small business owners.
2÷6÷07 Update:
By the way, they also sell crafting supplies besides papers and stamps. There are all kinds of embellishments, fine glitters, walnut dyes, glazes, ribbons, etc, for making altered books or other projects. And the staff is always friendly!
5÷3÷08 Update:
I took a class last year, around September, I think? It was a fun class, but the pace was really fast. I felt like I didn’t really have time to absorb what I was learning. There are different teachers/​instructors, though, so it could’ve just been the one I went to. It was FUN, but I wish that it had gone a bit slower.

A little scrapbook store that’s BIG on service, Scrapbook U is one of my favorite stores. I always leave the place with a smile because the store owner or clerk is so friendly! The store offers a lot of variety as far as paper and the latest scrapping supplies. My most favorite part are the displays of the classes – the teachers are very talented! A lot of the classes I’ve taken years ago reflect the trends of scrapbooking today – altered books, flowers, painting, etc. Prices are pretty competetive… you should check it out!
