Scrapbook Store in Paris?
 

I tried to post this earlier, but haven't seen it - apologies if it is a duplicate. I am looking for a scrapbook store in Paris or a shop that sells scrapbook supplies -- stickers, papers, rubber stamps, die cuts, etc. There used to be a shop in the Carousel du Louvre, but it was gone last time we visited. Thanks in advance.

Hey Elena!<BR><BR>I can't answer your question, but how funny to find another scrapbooker on this site! I hadn't even thought of finding scrapbook stores on my trip to Europe. I'll be interested in seeing what you find out.<BR><BR>Cindy

Does anyone know of any good scrapbooking stores in Europe? I'd love to find a fun store while on my travels.

I don't know if making scrapbooks the way they do in some of the states is such a big hobby in Europe.Look online at American suppliers and see if there are any in other countries.

elvira might know something -- I know she likes to buy special paper and stuff in Paris. elvira???

I 'scrapbook' my travel photos, best way to take the trip again and again. I save all my stubs, brochures, tickets, maps, etc. Last time, I bought some old sheet music that had lyrics in French, and used that as 'background' paper. Also get extra maps, and use them for background. I realize these are not 'acid-free' but less concerned about this for trip pix (as opposed to heritage/family pix). This does not tell you where to find a scrapbook store, but at least you might find some cool things at the flea mkt..

I don't know of a scrapbook store per se, but some of the best scrapbook supplies come from a French company (see www.canson-us.com for their american site; the French site is under construction). Additionally, I found several albums, paper, stamps, and stickers, at La Samaritaine, the department store in the 1e.

Thanks bel -- that was great:)<BR>What I found was: http://cemagic.free.fr/shop.html<BR><BR>I figured Japanese paper might be a resource -- anyway great site!

Great idea about the music sheets!

Okay, here goes:<BR><BR>Galeries Lafayette and Printemps both have great stickers and scrapbooks in their paper/office supply/greeting card departments. They also have selections of rubber stamps - they are near the pens and inks area.<BR><BR>The Marais is famous for its stationery stores, and I stumbled upon several shops with wonderful paper and scrapbooks made out of that paper.<BR><BR>In the Viaduc des Artistes is a shop called N'O (play on Musee d'Orsay abbreviation) with incredible papers and all sorts of fun scrapbooks (BTW, if you like corny and cheezy, you'll have a problem finding those).<BR><BR>BHV had some scrapbooks, too, not a lot of choice but heck they were on sale. Monoprix had a few. Virtually any stationery store (Latin Quarter has a bunch of them) has blank books, some that'll make great scrapbooks.<BR><BR>No, I've never seen "scrapbook" store - apparently, the Parisians don't need instructions on how to put a scrapbook together.<BR><BR>In Bellagio and in Venice, we found stores with handmade papers and leatherbound books (for whoever asked about Europe). <BR><BR><BR><BR>

Thanks for the store advice Elvira!

I've never had much luck finding stickers and such in Europe. But I just keep all of my ticket stubs, pub coasters, play brochures, etc. and use them in my scrapbook in lieu of stickers.

Topping for Christi

I'm getting into scrapbooking too-in fact I had a class tonight-we all had a blast! I am working on my scrapbook from our European trip last summer.<BR>Any other great ideas (loved the one about the music sheets!)?<BR>Thanks!<BR>Shadow<BR>

I just came a website advertising scrapbooking cruises. But unfortunately none to Europe. Imagine seeing Europe by day and scrapbooking by night.
