Scrapbook Island’s Creative Escape

Sadly, all the scrapbook, crafting stores around the bay area have one by one closed down. This is one of the only ones left standing. They get an awesome score for this fact! This store was once known as «Scrapbook Island» and has a new name for its new location. They have a plentiful stock of paper crafting supplies (supplies and materials for cards, scrapbooks, mixed media). Love coming here for spray inks, stencils, and other unique products and brands I usually can’t get at Michael’s or Joann’s. This new location now has a really large area for crop events and classes.
I’ve been to a one of their crop play dates. Love having a large table. But, I was less than thrilled that they didn’t have the promised meal available because there weren’t enough sign ups. They did give us a percentage off and credit but I would have preferred to have my meal since there weren’t many options in the area and I really wanted to just eat and work. Instead, I had to go grab a bite and then purchase materials to use the credit in store. Materials I didn’t necessarily need.
I’m still coming back to this store if I’m down this way and need stuff.

This is my second order placed with this company this year for specific scrap booking stuff that I was unable to find at Michael’s near me, therefore, outsourced my efforts into purchasing.
They mostly focus on wedding, however, was able to get a pale rose and light purple lavender themed scrap booking paper that had a light image on the back of both that was used for a Mother’s Day card. I also got a set of scrap booking paper with envelopes that were lightly rose scented that was used for my girlfriend’s engagement party invitations (yes people still actually send stuff in the mail instead of e-​vites).
Shipping went to my PO BOX in the US and was mailed in a study mailed to avoid bends which I appreciated.

From the moment I walked in, the various ladies asked if they could help me and caught on to the fact I was just exploring. They let me wander happily through the aisles. Prices are fair and they have a rewards program and classes in the back! I can’t wait to go back.

Creative Escape is fantastic. It’s got everything you’d need for scrapbooking, paper crafting, mixed media and lots of other arts and crafts. The ladies who work there are super helpful. If they don’t have it in the store, they can usually track it down. Plus, they’ve got a great workshop space.

One if the few remaining «full service» scrapbook stores. Latest and greatest supplies and tools. Huge crop area, themed classes, retreats, can even go hide out and scrap for the day. Awesome staff too!!!

Wonderful and magical place with very helpful and knowledgeable helpers. Great classes, and group Scrapbooking events. Friday night Scrapbooking events are great for a great price!!! But make sure you book your table early they fill fast! Great chance to catch up on projects, hope to see you there.

It’s a great and magical store, every time I visit it my imagination takes off and I can stop to by the stuff for my new projects. The quality and quantity of variety of materials is unlimited. Just love the place. :)
