Shopping for scrapbook supplies and some more Carnival Magic scrapbook pages.

I knew I had to go to Hobby Lobby today to replace the scrapbook paper my glass of Cran-Grape juice fell on.  I asked my hubby if he wanted to go with me and he said yes.  Now, I know most women prefer to shop without their spouse.  I’m typically that way with Jim, except when it comes to scrapbook supplies.  Somehow he manages to find stuff that I would need, want, or could use.  This trip was no exception.

Before we went to Hobby Lobby, we went to Michael’s as I had a 50% off coupon to use and I was wanting to get a refill cartridge for my Xyron Creative Station Lite.  I prefer to use the repositionable cartridges because I often change my mind about placement of things.  Unfortunately, Michael’s didn’t have what I wanted, but the did have the Tombow removable adhesive tape funner refill, so I got that instead!

Once we arrived at Hobby Lobby, my first stop in the scrapbook area was the adhesive section.  I was looking for a glue runner eraser and I found one and only one there!!!  I want to try it and see if it will really remove the excess adhesive from the pages.  I then picked up the scrapbook paper I needed to replace (LOL) plus a few sheets of white textured cardstock.  I told Jim we might as well look in the clearance section to see if there was anything of use and his watchful eye did not disappoint!

My middle granddaughter’s name is Victoria.  I always have a hard time finding just the letter V.  But today was my lucky day.  My hubby found 3 so I bought them all!!!  I also picked up some other goodies including a paper pack.

As we made our way to the check-out counter, I stopped back by the adhesive isle in search of something that would be a good adhesive for glitter.  So far, I have not found anything that seems to work.  If you are reading this and have any suggestions, please let me know.

The papers in the paper pack were actually pretty good!!

Once we returned home, I continued working on finishing up the Carnival Magic 2011 pre-cruise album, making and adding a few pages.  All of the pages are now securely in the album.  I do need to do some touch-up on the outside of the album cover but that shouldn’t take long to do in the morning!

Tomorrow I plan on starting the first Carnival Magic 2011 cruise album and continue working on the journaling.  I know there will be more scrapbook pages made for these albums as I like to include the daily Fun Times in my albums.  I have a feeling there will be at least 2 albums just for the cruise.  And hopefully I can organize the contents of these boxes I received today!!!!
