Once Upon A Memory

The best in town. I just love this store! I've read some of the comments,and have to disagree with the person who says they're expensive. The stock is great (and priced just like the other store in H.B. and the one in Westminster.) They've got daily specials. The crop area is by far one of the largest, if not the largest in the O.C. And if they don't have an item in stock,they'll order it for you. They've a great crop card program (the way to go). They're open late a couple of nights and also open on Sundays, which is great for folks like me who work weekdays until 5pm. I can wind-down and relax by scrapping if I want to after work. They always have special crops that can last from 10am to MN/2am. So much fun. It's just a great place to purchase and scrap.

Once Upon a Memory is a big store with a good selection, but their prices are very high. I've never seen them have a sale, which kind of sucks, but it's still a nice place to go. I like the new store at Beach and Talbert for their prices better, but you should still check out Once Upon a Memory even though their prices are a lot higher.

This is a great place to shop if you're looking for the latest and greatest in scrapbook merchandise, whether it be paper, tools, emblishments, etc..... The store has it all. Some may say it's a little pricy, but if you're looking for quality, you'll definitely want to shop here...and if you don't see it, just ask for it. Michael's and Joann's are nice, but way too little options. From reading the previous reviews, it's obvious these ladies haven't visited the store in the recent year. It was relocated and has been remodeled to accommodate not only the vast aray of product, but there is also a quite large cropping area. Check it out today. You'll come back time and time again.

Although this store can be on the expensive side it has a massive selection which kinda makes up for that. I have to drive a bit to get there so I like to plan ahead and get everything I need there. The selection is good in terms of scrapbooking stuff but don't go looking for anything more extreme cause they probably don't have it. Otherwise it's a really nice place to spice up your craft box.

This place has a massive selection of arts and crafts supplies. My sister has a serious scrapbook habit and I got her a ton of great stuff here. They have a ton of stickers and specialty papers. Good stuff. It can be a little more expensive than the larger chain stores but they do carry some unique little scrapbooking tools.

Scrapbooking has become one of the fastest growing industry our area. With millions of little scrapbooking stores poping up everywhere, there are plenty of places to go now for supplies. Stores like Once Upon a Memory Scrapbooks tend to have some cuter and more unique items than your local Michaels, but they certainly have a pricier price tag. If you're looking for something special that can't really be found anywhere, I would recommend this place, but with 40% off michael coupons in the ads every other week, I usually hit for their store.

Very large store with tons of stuff. They have a wonderful crop area and a tiny kids area. Great place for the beginner scrapbooker. They don't carry all the newest and latest and greatest.

PROS: HUGE selection
CONS: nothing new and hot and never any sales.
