I, too, as a momma of 4, started scrappin' when the 1st baby came, and I've been addicted ever since. I am a hybrid scrapper in the sense that I use the stuff from the trip, magazines, et al, but I also love some cute embellishments & fancy paper too. I have not done a whole lot of digital, mainly b/c I love being able to cut and paste like I'm in the 2nd grade again. I love coupons, garage sales, and I've also found several things on my local craig's list (this is esp. helpful with no shipping and you can find specific products). Another source is to talk to other scrapbookers b/c sometimes you can find out about local sales where vendors will set up booths and I got an $8 crop-n-style. Thanks again for input!

Gel pens stay put and don't have that quality concern.

I have been a scrapper for approx 20 years- and I spend so little on my supplies you all would not believe it! I am with Rob- my "papers" and "embellishments" are the actual things used. I love using a scrap of the actual Christmas wrapping paper for pages on each of my kids- or paper from their birthday presents, etc. I frame school pictures with actual schoolwork or drawings I have them do. All the specialty papers, magazines, etc seem to be more for those who can't get ideas on their own as to how they want their pages to be. When we go on trips, the map of the amusement park and freebie promotional stuff ends up being used on the pages. I do have a very good collection of pens, scissors, glues, and picture corners. This being said- I spent MAYBE $15 on photo corners and a set of new gel pens last year. Some of what I do is not what other scrappers would consider. I use the actual picture in my work- many would make a copy of a picture and then store the picture somewhere else. All I see this doing is creating to the clutter pile of the hobby. I am not 100% convinced that everything I do must be chemically pure, acid free, and achival in content. Consider what the scrapbook is for- does it really need to last thru the ages? Or is it more for the family to enjoy when reviewing its memories? As you can guess- I believe in the latter. I have laughed over the past ten or so years when scrapbooking came into vogue.

I've found that some of the cheapest embellishments for scrapbook pages is often stuff we throw away. Old Christmas cards/Birthday cards , Bits of wrapping paper left over from gifts, tickets to events or programs from events (movies, theatre, wine tastings, etc) brochures used to plan a trip. Even the Mapquest directions you print out to get somewhere can be fun. On a recent trip to Washington DC I picked up a free DC Metro (subway) map and used it in the scrapbook.
