My LSS closed and I need to purchase some supplies online. I just don't know what stores are reliable anymore, low in shipping costs... etc. What are some of your favorite stores? I need everything from tools, to chipboard items.. to a few sheets of paper. Most of what I do is digital, so I am completely lost now.

Thanks a bunch.

well you are going to get a pretty biased opinion on albums and such here at Sweet Shoppe (https://www.sweetshoppedesigns.com/shoppe)

I get most of my Ribbons and such from Michaels or Hobby Lobby I'd try those stores as well. As for flowers and other things, I use here or there..I suggest Ebay so you get an assortment w/out spending a lot of $$$

Hope that helps

You don't have Michael's, JoAnn's, Hobby Lobby, etc nearby? What about Wal-Mart for basic scrapbooking stuff?

I haven't shopped online for awhile now but you could try oriental trading company - they have a scrapbook section, or micheal's and joann's online, shoot there are so many others and I can't think of them right now...

I have an order for chipboard albums with Sweet Shoppe pending... but aside from that our Target, AC Moore, Michaels have a real poor selection which makes no sense to me. I live in the suburbs of an urban area, you'd think that there was a market for scrapbook supplies.

I just made an order at www.franticstamper.com and they have EVERYTHING!
The prices are better by far than what I can get here in canada (but the chipboards are not as good a price as they are here in the Sweet Shoppe!) but I ordered lots of buttons, inks, some cool brads, stuff like that. They have very good shipping prices too.

Sinve I don't live in the uS I make lost of online shopping.
For me the most complete and with better shipping rates is ACOT (A cherry on Top), but the chipboard albums I buy them here

I buy supplies from joann.com (http://www.joann.com) but wait until they have a free shipping offer. It seems like they usually do; it varies from a minimum $25 order to minimum $35 order.

Chipboard albums I have purchased from SSD and have a bunch to use before I can justify buying any more :o.

Two Peas is good for one-stop shopping.

I really like using ebay to get a nice variety for a low cost.
