check the dollar stores for a three ring binder and sometimes there is some scrapbook paper packs at those kind of stores too. I have done traditional pages with nothing but paper that I love as much or more then the ones with lots of bits on them. You can do it with not alot of supplies just get a few glitter pens and some paper and you will be well away to start or invest in a few stamps and a black ink would do the trick too but just pick up the things you know you will use to buy not just the things that are cheap and slowly add bits to it you dont need alot to make a book you will be proud of ...

I wrote an entire article on how to cut costs with scrapbooking supplies. If you want a copy email me at infor@memoriesin.com I have taught traditional scrapbooking for years and now I'm teaching digital. There are no supplies with digital and there is no software to purchase with my company Heritage Makers. There is the cost of printing what every project you decide to make. www.memoriesin.com

Hi Donna - you don't have to necessarily to "traditional" scrapbooks that can cost quite a bit. I have made books where the covers are made from cardboard boxes and use rings or ribbon to hold them. I also do one page layouts and frame them rather than making a whole book. Also, keep greeting cards, etc. that you might get, they could be cut up and used as mats for your photos. If you are local (Escondido) connect with me and we can talk about other ideas. I have a free open Craft night at my house every Tuesday evening - maybe that would help you get motivated and gather more ideas.
