I'd honestly been meaning to go online to order some photos and catch up on scrapbooking, but I just hadn't taken the time. Then came that frightening little e-mail from Snapfish letting me know I had just a few days left to pony up an order or they'd delete those photos I'd uploaded. Yikes! So, I got busy late one night and ordered photos from Christmas, Thanksgiving, last year's big birthday trip to Europe, and more. Who knew you could order 300 photos and barely make a dent in the backlog? At any rate, once the photos were on the way I realized I needed to buy a new scrapbook, so I did. And that meant I needed new scrapbooking papers for the background, so I was naturally interested when I saw these pretty ones for $4.99 at Ollie's Bargain Outlet over the weekend. "Victorian Parlour" is the name of this pad of paper from Colorbok.
There at the store I flipped through it to make sure it was frou-frou enough for me, and it was. I love this rose design paper with the handwriting and doilies in the background. Perfect!
"But wait, am I seeing what I think I'm seeing?" I thought. Yes. And when I saw this pretty teapot, teacup and teakettle paper, I knew this was definitely the papercrafting pad for me. Now, if I could just have about two weeks with nothing to do but catch up on scrapbooking, I think I'd be in good shape!
There's an Ollie's discount store near me which I've had fun browsing around inside. I purchased some nice journals there. Your scrapbook paper is lovely, and what a bonus that it included tea themed paper.
ReplyDeleteThe whole pad of Victorian Parlour looks nice Angela. Scrapbooking is time consuming, isn't it? Have you thought about putting together a book on-line with your photos? I saw a small one a friend did and it was enjoyable looking at the pages.
ReplyDeleteOK, now it looks like I'm going to need to check out Ollie's. Oh, my, you are one great bargain shopper.
ReplyDeleteGood luck catching up. That seems to be a never ending job.
ReplyDeleteWhat pretty papers for your scrapbook.
I wish we had an Ollie's here. That paper and the album are so pretty! I keep telling myself that I have to start organizing the photos, print them, and begin scrapbooking again but there just doesn't ever seem like I have enough hours in the day! Have fun with your photos!
ReplyDeleteAnother perfect find Angela! Have fun with your pictures!
ReplyDeleteI was at Ollie's yesterday. It will make a pretty scrapbook.
ReplyDeleteGreat papers! I'd like to have two weeks free to scrapbook, too.
ReplyDeleteOff to Ollie's I go! Can't wait to see how you use those pretty papers!
