Let"s face it…as far as hobbies go, scrapbooking isn"t quite as easy on the pocketbook as say gardening. But that doesn"t mean you have to break the bank to make beautiful albums and interesting layouts.

1. Save Money at the Checkout Counter. The easiest way to save money on scrapbooking is to watch your nickels and dimes at the store. Generally, larger craft stores like Michael"s and JoAnn"s have better prices that specialty scrapbook stores. You can often find coupons in your local paper for these stores, and save up to 40% on your purchases. This is a great idea if you are shopping for bigger items, like a toolkit for eyelets or an album. Watch for sales on your favorite items, and stock up on basics (like colored cardstock) when you can. Also, try shopping online for good deals. Using online auction sites or an online scrapbook store to buy your scrapbook supplies is a great way to save money. Although you will be paying shipping, in most cases you can find better deals than you would locally. When you buy online, make sure to buy several items at once so you can save on shipping. Also, shopper"s comparison websites like Froogle will tell you the best price for a certain item on the web, which is helpful if you know the exact brand and type of item you are looking for.

2. Trim your Sticker Costs. If you have a color printer and some time, you can totally wipe out the need for store-bought stickers. Making your own stickers is easy and allows for maximum flexibility in your layouts. All you"ll need is some sticker paper (bought from an Office Supply store) and a little creativity. You can clear or matte sticker paper for different looks. Clip art and pictures are easy to find online, and you can even custom print your own titles in different fonts, sizes and colors. No more running out of the letter "S" on a sticker page or halting your layout to find the perfect cow sticker!
