Scrapbook Nook

I couldn’t find what I was looking for from my local Michael’s therefore had to outsource many pieces for a single project for some baking recipe tags. I ordered everything at the same time (hence the CC reviews).
Specifically what I was looking for at the time baby blue and baby pink frosted opaque sheets for tags and baking. The price was $$$ but there were one of the few shops on recommendation that had what I was looking for.

My wife is a hardcore Scrapbooker and Loves this place. You could say she is a real «nooker». Loves the club loves the people and will be overjoyed to know they are going to be ok. We were worried they were going to close and she was starting the grieving process…
They have great stock and very reasonable prices and their class area made learning easier.

They are the largest local and internet scrapbooking supply chain in the area. I love their scrapbooking fridays and classes on the weekend to learn new techiques. They have rows and rows of paper, ribbons, and embellishments galore. You can also use their dye cut center and tools for a minimal fee if you don’t have membership to this location. Nice selection of stickers (with quotes) and a large disney collection. Their stamp collection isn’t that great and they don’t have that many punches but you’ll find almost anything you need here to put together a decent scrapbook. They also have a collection of scrapbooking albums and books. The store is well stocked and the owner brings in new supplies constantly.

As a member of «The Nook» I was so happy that they have been taken over by new owners and not had to close after all. AND, they will be moving into the old Party Warehouse store (just a few up) in the Spring (I think?).
The store is very well stocked, has great organization and friendly staff to help you find that special something to finish a project.
All in all, it is a great local store. .. stop buy and check it out!
BTW: Membership was/​is $ 25. The emails give you 20−30% off coupons :)

My favorite (and local) Scrapbook store! When they announced that they were closing the business I was super sad since this is the only scrapbook store in my area. THEN, today I got an email saying that they are no longer going out of business and that someone else will be taking over. I was super super happy. They have a good selection and everything seems to be very organized.

If you like to paper craft: cardmaking, scrapbook or make anything with paper this is the place for supplies. They have a HUGE selection of the latest and greatest things. They have a great selection of Disney themed items that would inspire you to go back to DisneyLand/​World for another vacation! Oh and the stamp collection is wonderful; from clear acrylics to the traditional wood blocks. I also love that they have the recent releases from CHA and Memory Trends just a few weeks after the shows. I always feel inspired when I go there. Even when I go there for just one thing, I am attracted to the other goodies that they have in stock.
They have a huge area to stay and crop. I wish that they would have more classes at different times with company designers.
For a Scrapbook store it is definitely a heavenly stop!
edit: So sad that this Business no longer has a «brick and mortar» storefront. Another owner to over it as ScrapHappy, but that has since closed. I think the «Nook», is now primarily an online store and kit club. So sad since I miss just dropping in and looking at the wonderful goodies in person.

this is the closest scrapbook store to where I live. Sorry to say. i just come here for extreme emergencies.
I took a class here once. and not only was it the worst valued class (pixelated computer download graphics) I’ve ever taken, the owner kept interrupting to talk about some upcoming summer crops… not once. but like 5 times.
Every time I DO go in they push their die cut club on me. i don’t use die cuts. i have a pazzles.
Most recently i called to see if they had some items related to a project I’m working on. the person answering the phone just said she didn’t know and didn’t offer to look or give any advice where I could look when i came in. so I didn’t.instead I called the store farther away. and they even had the items up at the counter for me!

this place really has everything…
but the price is why i give it a four because some of the things can be on the pricer side…
for scrapbook paper it cost me 70 cent while other places I can find deals for 25 cents a paper =/

I knew that I was going to be in this area, so I asked my boyfriend if we could stop by this store. I walked in and I was in HEAVEN! OMG!
I’ve been to almost all the Scrapbooking stores from Berkeley to San Jose.
And I must say SCRAPBOOK NOOK is simply the best! Why?
1) it’s HUGE! has lotsa stuff!
2) Items were categorized with an obvious sign, like baby, family, wedding, etc.
3) LOTS of DISNEY! love it.
4) Had a lot of cute stamps. I never bought stamps but I decided to try it out. The staff was very nice. She answered lots of my questions.
Most of the newer things were in the front. So that was great! then as you go into the store, you see more stuff! there is a kiddie play area in the back so kids won’t get bored while their mommies (or daddies) shop for great stuff.
The crop room has lots of tables and cool tools for people to use, lots of die cutting machines.
This place also has a great assortment of albums and magazine/​idea books. YOU MUST GO HERE IF YOU LOVE SCRAPBOOKING!!!

i came here this past weekend because i was in the area and remembered reading about this store on Unilocal.
the store front didn’t seem that big but when you walk in, you start to discover there’s more to the store. they have a lot of products and it would take FOREVER to walk through the isles looking at every single thing. i didn’t take forever, kinda just glanced at things and seeing if anything catches my attention. i didn’t need anything specific but ended up buying somethings. i m very happy with the stuff i bought.
the girl at the register was helpful also. she was fun to talk to. very outgoing and answers all my questions.
would recommend anyone that’s into scrapbooking or card making!

Simply A-​mazing!
This store is huge and completely packed with everything you could possibly want for your scrapbooking (or cardmaking) needs. Plus they have classes that you can attend if you’re looking for some new ideas. I only visited this place once and I signed up for their members club because I know that I will end up spending tons of money here!
Signing up for the club (for $ 25 a year) you get access to tables that they have on location (you know, instead of spreading everything out all over the place at home), 5% off of each item you buy (10% if you sign up the next year), PLUS every so often there are members sales where everything in the store is 25% OFF!!! What more could you ask for???
I highly recommend this place for any scrapbookers or cardmakers, you will NOT be dissappointed!

Who knew scrapbooking could be so addicting – yet, fun and frustrating at the same time?
With some free time on my hands, I thought I’d tackle a weekend project. As a total n00b, little did I know that I couldn’t just walk out of the store with a single album; scrapbooking doesn’t work that way. Like a lot of other hobbies, it’s a money sucking leech – the expenditures can be endless.
Until now, there has been no other store I have found myself browsing through for two hours straight, aside from Target. And this store is not that large, even with two separate sections (one in which classes are held). But the aisles and aisles of paper and materials to aid in your creative pursuits is mind-​boggling. Prices are reasonable, but it all starts to add up. The sales lady couldn’t have been more helpful, especially after giving me a lil lesson in Scrapbooking 101.
There are discounts on any given day, and for a yearly fee, you can become a member and get even more deals. Do sign up for their free newsletter, and be sure to check out their website. But don’t walk in with a bulging wallet; it’ll be empty by the time you leave.

Don’t have to be a scraper to love this place. I like making my own cards and found plenty of items here. My only complaint, after spending over $ 200, was that there were no Red Hat Socirty embellishments. I know, a little particular of me, but kept them from getting that other star. Friendly service and lots to see. Really liked the idea of how to classes and a workroom to use. Wish we had one up here in SF.

So if you are a closet scrap booker like me, this is the place to go. This store is full of great paper and killer embellishments. Did I just say that? Yes I did because I love this store.
I always get a time limit when I go there because I could spend all day searching through the fun! My husband dreads the words «can we swing by the scrapbook store real quick?» Real quick and Scrapbook Nook don’t go together.
Ladies have fun and if you want to get inspired check out their website. Ladies post their finished pages in the gallery.

Great store, huge selection & wonderful customer service!
If only all stores could be like this one!

I actually used to teach classes at Scrapbook Nook and it’s a great place to «scrap» and get all of the items you need for that special project. As everyone mentioned, there is annual membership for $ 25 that allows you to use the the ‘studio space’ to scrapbook. They do have a huge, fantastic selection. However, if you know of a particular item coming out, you have to get it fast because the most popular items usually go rather quickly.
Just a few tips for novice scrapbookers:
1. Always draft your project to prevent from excess spending! I highly recommend not going to any craft store, especially Scrapbook Nook not knowing what to get. You will find yourself spending money on things may not need.
2. Start off with ‘kits’ to get a feel for scrap booking. If you start off with kits first, you will have a better idea of the type of style you want to develop in your books.
3. Never, EVER, purchase one of the cool yet expensive gadgets without experimentation. If one of the fellow scrapbookers are around or a sales associate can show you how it works, try it. Use the sample on a layout and really evaluate how often you would use it.
Trust me, I’ve seen so many people just purchase from scrapbooking stores because something is «so cute»! Don’t fall for it. Be a wise and crafty person and plan, plan, plan!

My daughter and I have been coming here since she was in high school, before they renovated and took over the store next door.
They have absolutely anything and everything a cropper would ever want, and more. I don’t like going here too much because I end up buying more than I need.
It’s kinda like going to Costco. «I’m just going for toilet paper.» $ 200 later and new kitchen ware, cutlery, outdoor stuff, digital camera or enough chicken breasts to feed the island of Fiji, I walk towards my car thinking «did I just buy all that stuff». Well, of course I did.
I go into Scrapbook Nook needing only neutral blue and grey paper for a graduation scrapbook I’m finishing. I picked up the paper, three tins of brads, glue dots (2 kinds), more lettering, and a paper flower making kit (oh, but it did have 573 pieces!).
I suppose one could argue I have no self control. Perhaps, but we all have our weaknesses (or many).

All right, I admit, I’m a virgin scrapbooker, but this place is FLIPPIN’ AWESOME. The store is divided into two parts. The main area has racks and racks and racks and racks of patterned paper, and many many embellishments. The other part of the store has a little more patterned, racks of plain paper/​cardstock, and albums. This part of the store also serves as a workshop where they host classes and crop sessions. Basically this is one of the best scrapbook supply stores that I’ve found.
Tip: They have a paid membership that people can join, and you get benefits like special coupons and crop sessions for free, etc. One can also sign up for their email newsletter and receive coupons for 30% off one item, and they even send occasionally special coupons that takes a discount off your purchase.
Parking is never a problem because they have a lot behind the store.
This store inspires me to scrapbook, and shopping here is just FUN. I look forward to coming here so much that I buy exactly what I need each time, so when I finish my pages I can come back for more.

I went here when they first opened about two years ago. I only recently went back and am impressed with the selection. They have racks and racks of papers (only bad thing is, I don’t know how much the paper costs. It would be helpful if they had a price list around). They also added some rubber stamps. I found the Paper Salon stamps there (very hard to find in the Bay Area!).
Loved browsing through the store. Staff was friendly but unobtrusive. A very good alternative to visit if you don’t have that many options and don’t want to go far!

Huge supply, easy, if not slightly sketchy parking in the back. Wait until one of the Un Petit Baleen students is leaving one of the coveted front-​door parking spots with his/​her parent (s)– usually in an SUV.
You can work in their workroom from 6pm-​12am on Friday nights for $ 10. The $ 10 just reserves you a spot, no treats. These can be loud & the crowd is suburban moms scrapping their latest trip to Disneyland but it’s nice to have all the supplies on hand.
Thai, Japanese, American Diner and Starbucks are all within walking distance, should you need nourishment during your cropping and plotting.
