1. Keep items from special occasions if you intend to scrapbook about them
Let say, you intend to scrapbook about your friend’s wedding. Rather than spending lots of money on wedding theme scrapbook items, why not save the materials that you can easily get from the wedding itself. For example, you can keep the ribbons, invitation cards, napkins, menu etc. These will make it easier for you to relate your scrapbook to the special occasion itself so it makes sense to preserve it in your scrapbook pages.
2. Buy items in bulks and share with your friends
Buying scrapbooking materials in bulks can save lots of money too. If you have scrapbooking friends then why not get together and buy the items in bulk and divide the cost.
3. Shop for bargain items
Sometimes you can get cheap ribbons and papers in dollar store. So, it might be a good alternative to your neighborhood craft stores.
