Scrapbooking host Michele Gerbrandt offers these tips on staying within a budget: - Set budget before leaving home and always shop with a list (figure A).
- Remember "sticker etiquette." In many scrapbook stores, stickers are available on large, self-serve rolls. Gerbrandt cautions scrapbookers to be conscientious about how many stickers are torn off, because it's easy to overpurchase, and scrapbookers must pay for what they tear off (figure B).
- Take photographs to the store to check against colors and styles of paper.
- Don't be afraid to test pens for color and smoothness before purchasing.
- When choosing an album size, keep the scope of your project in mind.
