About Scrapbook Paper Catalogs

Many devoted scrapbookers already receive a number of supply catalogs. If you subscribe to a scrapbooking magazine such as Simple Scrapbooks or Creating Keepsakes, you probably receive an assortment of scrapbook paper catalogs. These companies are known to sell their mailing lists to catalog companies. You may also be receiving catalogs if you’ve placed an order from a company that distributes its own catalog. In most cases, scrapbook retailers automatically add customers to their mailing lists.

If you’re not current receiving any catalogs, however, it’s easy to start enjoying the benefits of catalog shopping. In most cases, all you’ll need to do is visit the company’s website and fill out a catalog request form.

The Paper Wishes catalog by Hot Off the Press is a great resource for both beginning and experienced scrapbookers.
