Happy 2010!

Happy New Year Everyone!

Welcome back to the Budget Scrapper Blog. I have been very busy over the holidays creating homemade gifts for family and friends including creating 10 new greeting cads to give as gifts, a wedding album and two baby scrapbooks! I promise to post photos of my scrapbooking projects and even instructions for creating some simple greeting cards you can try at home.

The holidays proved to be a treasure chest of bargains for scrapbooking supplies and tools. There was definitely a war going on between Michaels and AC Moore to see who could have the best deals. My opinion, Michaels won when it cam e to tools and electronic gizmos, but AC Moore won on paper, embellishments and in-store demonstrations. I was fortunate to be blessed this year and could afford a major purchase of a Gypsy device for the Cricut cutting machine. Michaels had it on sale for $199 the week after Christmas. That was a savings of $100 off the $299 price tag. I am so excited to have added that to my collection and am finding many new ways to use the cartridges I already own for the system.

Please feel free to share any bargains you run across with our fellow scrapper. Also, I am looking for those who have started community groups for scrappers. If you have started one, share your story. Let us know how often you meet, what you do, etc.

As always- Happy Scrapping!

Creatively Yours
