OK, I'm a Scrap-a-holic and Urban Scrapbook is a fabulous place to get my fix.
Urban Scrapbook is a scrapbook supply store just off 118 avenue and 142 street. I've been getting inspiration and supplies here for nearly 5 years. It has, in my opinion, the best selection and prices for scrapbooking products in Edmonton. Their products and supplies turn over at a quick pace and as such you aren't stuck with the same themes and embellishments every time you go. Not to mention the size of their stock increases monthly!
You may get overwhelmed when you walk in due to the amount of products they have, but will quickly be put at ease with the assistance and guidance from Urban's helpful and friendly staff. A children's area is available with toys and a TV so you can shop without distraction if you bring your kids. A layout area is available so you can go in with your pictures and choose products to complete your layout right there.
Urban Scrapbook also offers numerous workshops and cropping sessions throughout the month and over the year. I recommend becoming a member of Urban Scrapbook which entitles you to discounts on product, specials, and "ins" on upcoming workshops. By being a member you also receive weekly newsletters filling you in on hot new product and upcoming workshops, events and important things in a scrapbookers life.
Urban Scrapbook has a well lit, large crop room at the back of the store with ample room for cropping groups. They also provide dye cuts templates to help you with your creations.
Now, don't get me wrong, Urban Scrapbook isn't just about scrapbooking. It basically sells anything to do with paper and paper crafts. It's a wonderful place to start if you're thinking about making invitations of any sort.
Happy Scrapbooking! -

If you love scrapbooking as a hobby, you will love this place. I stumbled upon it online, and made it my mission to seek this place out. It's a bit hard to find, located in an industrial area of the city, and it's kind of small next to the big Fabricland store right beside it, but it's worth the visit if you're an avid scrapbooker!
I was overwhelmed stepping into the store, I didn't know where to start. They have everything you need for scrapbooks and other craft projects, including rows and rows of stickers and rub-ons, chipboards, paints, brads, and crafting tools. There's also an entire wall of cardstock paper in all kinds of beautiful colours and patterns.
While they had everything one could possibly need for any project, some of the items were a bit pricey, even for a scrapbooking store, I would say. So be selective with your items, because you can get certain ones for cheaper elsewhere. That being said, be sure to check out the back, as that's where all their clearance stuff is currently stocked at half price. I found some really cool cardstock paper back there for really cheap.
They also have a room in the back where they hold their craft and scrapbooking classes. You can sign up via their website; I think one usual session is about $20. They also have examples of projects throughout the store, so you can get an idea of what they make. And there's a small play room for kids right beside the entrance, for moms who want to take their time getting stuff but can't find a babysitter. Sign up for their points system and get 10% off once you reach 200 points, which shouldn't be too hard cause this place is awesome! -

I have spent so much money at this place and I finally gave up! They are great at pretending they don't see you and they never offer to help. They are either on the pone or talking to each other. Today I went in for the third time this week trying to buy supplies and once again they didn't offer to help. I drove across the city to Treasured Memories and they were very helpful!!! I spent $300.00 there and still saved a ton compared to Urban Scrapbook!!! They were helpful and even ordered the supplies that they didn't carry. The Urban (I don't see you unless you are at the till paying) Scrapbook doesn't carry much since they moved and the place is always a gong show!!!!!!!
Thanks Treasured Memories for the great service... I'll be back and I'm bringing my Friends!!!!!!!!
