Scrapbooking Materials

  • Removed edit by Firewriter: It is important to use the proper type of adhesive. More information about adhesive selection can be found here.

- Any discussion of "proper" materials belongs in the following paragraph about quality of supplies for archival purposes, not where it was placed.

- The link is just a blatant promotion of someone's webpage, since the relevant information on adhesives found there is only one sentence long. If that information is really so important for a general article on Scrapbooking, then it should be included as data, not as a link. If the linked site is very popular and contains a good deal of information, simply list it in the links section of the article.

External Links

I think external links can be extremely helpful to those researching a topic. Instead of removing it entirely, I suggest discussing potential additions here and reaching a concensus for inclusion. Does anyone else have a comment?

I agree.... so does my wife.... so does my vote count as two  :) These links have been helpful.

Scrapbooking Supply Websites: 


 This is the very first scrapbooking supply store! It was started in 1981 in Spanish Fork, Utah
 (where it still stands today) under the name of "The Annex" (please see how the scrapbooking
 industry started, at Keeping Memories Alive's history) and changed to its current name in 1994.
 
 This store is also the first one to have a scrapbook supply website, www.Scrapbooks.com,
 registered and first uploaded in 1996. It is this store that was the base which all other scrap-
 booking companies (including those with magazines) followed suit of when they started to open in
 the mid-1990s and later.
 
 Keeping Memories Alive has many original patterned paper designs, and they design new products
 that form new styles to keep things exciting and hot! KMA sells many other scrapbooking products
 that are on the edge of the latest styles for your scrapbooking pleasure, while at the same time
 keeping prices down for the budget-minded scrapbooker.



 Contains some galleries of layouts, but not all images load properly
 Parts of the website are incomplete, such as the Resources section
 Message board appears to be fairly active, with many users, and recent posts
 Shopping section appears to be main focus of the site: "Two Peas in a Bucket is an Internet-based scrapbooking store"

 Appears to be an ameteurish online scrapbooking charm store, with a notice that it is currently closed due to a fire
 Only sells charms, not a mainstream scrapbooking site

 "Our Super Scrapbooking Store offers thousands of scrapbooking supplies at discounted prices, providing all your scrapbooking needs in one convenient place!"
 This looks like a pretty professional scrapbooking supply site, including customer service and scrapbooking instructional guides
  • [http://www.scrapboxx.com.au Scrapboxx. This is a great site for a gallery, forum and online shopping. It is very popular in Australia and had thousands of members.

Digital Scrapbooking Websites: 

  Very large scrapbooking community with thousands of members, gallery posts, and free downloads
  MamaGeek Joy recommends this site for inclusion in main article

  Digital scrapbook graphics store, contains few freebies, few tutorials
  Has small community of gallery posters (in the hundreds)
  Basically a good site, but limited and best features require payment
