fundayz Posted March 7, 2008 #1 Share Posted March 7, 2008 To all my fellow scrappers, have you found a great store to get things for your vacation scrapbook while in port or traveling on a land tour? I am looking forward to making this scrapbook after returning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
celtic girl Posted March 7, 2008 #2 Share Posted March 7, 2008 I would like to know the same thing. I love to scrapbook and have a few things Alaska from the Michaels store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamrock68 Posted March 7, 2008 #3 Share Posted March 7, 2008 To all my fellow scrappers, have you found a great store to get things for your vacation scrapbook while in port or traveling on a land tour? I am looking forward to making this scrapbook after returning. I do not do scrapbooks, but I recalled seeing an ad in the Juneau Guide and Travel planner that I was reading the other day so I looked it up. Here's the link, hope it helps :) http://www.thecreatingplace.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazingm42 Posted March 7, 2008 #4 Share Posted March 7, 2008 We found one in Juneau last time. I believe it was called Creative Memories Scrapbooking. In Anchorage try these.... http://www.stampatticalaska.com/ More than a memory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agabbymama Posted March 7, 2008 #5 Share Posted March 7, 2008 We were on HAL Zuiderdam in August '07, and they even had a scrapbook and a scrapbook kit at the photo shop. Then I think there was scrapbook stuff in just about every souvenir shop we went into. From small kits, to large kits, to packs of paper, you name it they had it. We saw them in Juneau, Skagway, Anchorage and even at Denali Park (at the McKinley Chalet gift store and at the train depot). You won't lack for scrapbooking items. I don't really scrapbook, but I did buy the scrapbook on the ship for the large photos taken on-board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
celtic girl Posted March 8, 2008 #6 Share Posted March 8, 2008 Thanks, I hope I'll have some time to go to these stores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fundayz Posted March 8, 2008 Author #7 Share Posted March 8, 2008 I can't wait to shop!!! You can never have too many embellishments when you begin to put those pages together. Thanks for all the info and great sites. I may even mail order some prior to sailing, so I they don't get wrinkled in my suitcase. Happy Scrapping!

Beaniemom59 Posted March 8, 2008 #8 Share Posted March 8, 2008 I have ordered before from (ww.scrapyourtrip.com). They have a variety of papers and embelishments for all different kinds of trips. They had paper for every country we visited on our Baltic/Scandinavian Cruisetour which included Paris/Brussels/Amsterdam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRDR01 Posted March 8, 2008 #9 Share Posted March 8, 2008 Like Beaniemom59, I also use www.scrapyourtrip.com they have a lot of really great embellishments and paper for all over the world. And, if you don't see it, ask. They are adding new stuff all of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FunLuv'n Posted March 8, 2008 #10 Share Posted March 8, 2008 Might want to try this site as well, I've ordered many things from them and they have quality scrapbooking items and very fast delivery. www.tropicalscrapbooking.com Can't wait to see what we can find in Alaska, so thanks ahead of time for posting places to get scrapbooking stuff.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreamcruiser216 Posted March 8, 2008 #11 Share Posted March 8, 2008 Like FunLuv'n, I too have purchased from www.TropicalScrapbooking.com . I know tropical doesn't sound like Alaska but they have a large selection of Alaska paper, embellishements and many fun things. Great quality and service both. Another place you might check is for a scrapbooking convention in your area. I was recently visiting my best friend as well as my brother's family in So. California and got the opportunity to go to a scrapbooking expo in Orange County. I was able to find Alaska things that I had not seen anywhere before. Thank you for posting the info on scrapbook places we can visit while we are in Alaska in June. Just 90 days until we sail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fl gal Posted March 9, 2008 #12 Share Posted March 9, 2008 I have ordered from both of those places, also. I actually bought quite a bit of stuff (paper and embellishments) for my mom and I right before Christmas. This way, when we get back from Alaska, all we have to do is print our pictures and start scrapbooking. I hope I can find some other stuff between now and our trip, or even on our trip. By the way, one of the reasons that I have bought some stuff in advance is because I really don't want to have to purchase paper on our trip and have to try and get it home safely. Paper bends so easily. But I figured I would bring a 12x12 paper holder and put 2 heavy pieces of cardboard in it and put it in my suitcase just in case I find some paper on our trip.

ute_fan Posted March 9, 2008 #13 Share Posted March 9, 2008 I picked up some supplies in one of the stores on Ketchikan's main street right across from where the ships docked. It was one of the tourist/drug store type places, but they had some nice packaged sets that included some die cuts, stickers, "postage stamps", etc. that included pictures of a couple of our excursions. I've also used both the mail order sites mentioned above and had good luck with things from them. Now all I need to do is get myself back into scrapbooking mode and actually use them!

smoked salmon Posted March 9, 2008 #14 Share Posted March 9, 2008 Most of the curio stores sell some sort of Alaskan themed scrapbooking packets, also in Ketchikan try Tongass Business Center which is located on Dock Street across from the public library/Tongass Historical Museum. Even though it's primarily an office supply store, they carry a lot of scrapbooking materials. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulletsmom Posted March 10, 2008 #15 Share Posted March 10, 2008 Scrap Your Trip has been great for me too. They have some beautiful Alaska papers (including for cities in AK) and AK Cruise stuff. I have not tried the other site, but will be looking at all the locations you all mentioned. Thanks from another scrapper! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PennyAgain Posted March 10, 2008 #16 Share Posted March 10, 2008 Pick up free brochures along your way. That's what I do. Plenty of photos and other Alaska graphics and no cost! I put everything in a Zip-Loc bag and put the bag into my suitcase. No problems! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mylife Posted March 11, 2008 #17 Share Posted March 11, 2008 This was a question I had been meaning to ask - so thank you for posting! It's very helpful, and I can't wait to create a beautiful scrapbook from my trip to Alaska.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fl gal Posted March 11, 2008 #18 Share Posted March 11, 2008 I think for me it's going to be "scrapbooks" (plural). I think with the tons of pictures that I'm planning to take, there is no way it will all fit into 1 album. Michele Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJ2sail Posted March 11, 2008 #19 Share Posted March 11, 2008 All the gift shops/souvineer shops had scrapbooking stuff, at all the ports we visited last year. I bought enough stuff to go on two more cruises!:D Have fun!;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruisinKiki Posted March 11, 2008 #20 Share Posted March 11, 2008 There is a very good scrapbooking store downtown Juneau. I asked at the information center and they directed me. Had some great unique sets including large names of the local cities. Might be the one mentioned at the top of this post, not sure! Also, as previously mentioned, in Ketchikan the office supply store has a good selection. They even have some paper designed by a local artist with the Tlinglet animals. BTW, I lost $20 in that store, if you find it, send it my way! :o Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ute_fan Posted March 12, 2008 #23 Share Posted March 12, 2008 Just curious, does anyone here do digital scrapbooking? I'm having so much trouble getting going on my pictures from our last 3 cruises that I'm thinking of going that route. Any pros/cons?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJ2sail Posted March 12, 2008 #25 Share Posted March 12, 2008 Just curious, does anyone here do digital scrapbooking? I'm having so much trouble getting going on my pictures from our last 3 cruises that I'm thinking of going that route. Any pros/cons?? I haven't tried digital scrapbooking yet, because I like scrapbooking in a group it's sort of a social thing for me, but if it gets your pictures done and in an album I don't think it is a bad thing. You would certainly have alot less supplies to store! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
