Economical papers and fabrics

Purchasing individual sheets of scrapbooking paper can be an expensive undertaking, especially when you may not be sure what to do with them yet.

A good substitute? Both wallpaper and fabric sample books from your local recycling centers, back rooms of fabric shops or Goodwill type stores. A HUGE assortment of fabric textures, colors, patinas...all available for a fraction of the cost.

When you consider one sheet of 9 x 12 paper from a retail craft store can be $4.99-9.99, investing $2-4.00 for a 20 pound book with easily 500 samples ranging in sizes from "3 x 9" to as large as 12 " x 12" sheets of paper or fabric, well the choice is clear!

My next post will show you what I did with a few of the papers and fabrics.
