Scrapbooking can be expensive....the album, papers, embellishments for the album, and then the adhesive to finish it up. Since I started scrapbooking, I wanted all the same things everyone else had, but I couldn't afford, so I had to do my own thing. I try to look for things that are cost effective, that will allow me to finish up a project in little time, and maybe have extras left over to do a card or two.
For those of you who have Wal-Mart stores close to you that still have the craft area in them, look for what they have available to you! Colorbok has put together kits, the one I purchased was $19.99, it has the 12 x 12 album, 16 sheets of paper, punch out accent pieces, photo matts, stickers, border strips, buttons and ribbon...all ready to finish up the album. The greatest part of this album is the instruction booklet that comes with, to show you how to finish up the album itself. http://www.colorbok.com/DeptFiles/boxkits.aspx?PageType=2&RecordID=432
The style I got was very feminine, more pastel colors that are pleasing on the eye. Everything coordinates with each other and can take about an hour from start to finish, so it is not a project that will take you a long time to do. As I look on their site, they have great kits available for just about any type of theme. I like how this kit was put together, so that I can use it for a gift, or I can add other things to this and truly make it a one of a kind album!
The link for Colorbok is attached, I hope you will request a catalog and visit them! This is my own honest opinion about a product I purchased myself.
