    Hi Jesshef

    My husband bought me some in the poundshop a couple of weeks ago which were quite good. Also Studio 24 have got a few items for scrapbooking in their spring sale section.
    If you join up to Do Crafts newsletter they will let you know about offers etc in different ranges such as Papermania etc. They aren't always cheap but they are quite good quality, and quite a few craft shops stock the ranges.
    Hope this helps

    Seen them in http://www.therange.co.uk/ (No online retail) if you have a store near.

    http://www.hobbycraft.co.uk/ (No online retail) Must sell them but I don't have a store near me, I've only been once but I would describe the store as particularly cheap which is what you are after.

    Hi

    Be careful where you buy, because all papersetc need to be acid and lignon free for scrapbooking or it will damage your photos over a period of time.

    The best website ever for scrapbooking is

    http://www.ukscrappers.co.uk/index.php

    If you register - its free - there are loads of site sponsors who will quote you a great deal.
    Go to forums, then thread "Shop till you drop" - ask your question and say what you want eg a cheap beginners kit, and the sponsors will all give suggestions and links for you.

    I also am addicted to scrapbooking lol - can you tell?

    Tesco extra often has kits on sale (proper acid free ones!) that are quite niceand not garish at all. I would be buying them at the prices they sometimes go for (really cheap, but check them all out as some are extortiionate) if it weren't for the heaving boxes of scrapbooking supplies I already have!
