Scrapbooking & Card Making
Supplies Perth
For the Love of Scrap began with a concept: to sell high quality scrapbooking products that don’t cost a fortune. We want to make scrapbooking more affordable for everyone. For the Love of Scrap is family owned, it has been through our hard work and persistence (and a bit of luck!!) that we finally made our business a success.
Our first mobile stall was launched in April 2007 at the Treasured Craft Creations Craft Show at Claremont Showgrounds, to RAVE reviews!! Loads of you told us “what a great idea” it was and that you’d “never seen scrapbooking products that were so cheap” or “that were so fantastic!” We were SO BUSY the whole weekend!
From May 2007, we began setting up our stall in different shopping centres around Perth. From week to week we moved locations from Ocean Keys to Armadale to Midland, and many others in between. It was exciting and exhausting all at the same time! And in March 2008 we began setting up 2 stalls a week, adding as far south as Rockingham and Mandurah to our rotation. Following that, in June 2008 we began an extended stay at Westfield Carousel.
We then began the next stage of our business:
In August 2008 we decided to take the leap and begin the long (and exhilarating) process of opening our first shop! And after months of planning, drawings, decisions, meetings and more drawings, (and a few minor glitches) we opened the doors of our first store at Lakeside Joondalup Shopping City on Thursday 11th December 2008.
During those first few years we added more products to our range including paper and cardstock, we introduced a VIP Reward Card system, added Gift Vouchers, plus we also opened our Online Store. With our PayPal payment system you can feel secure in your ordering, just click on the SHOP tab to start shopping!
Then in December 2013, at the end of five years (which just flew by incredibly fast) and due to the renovations at the shopping centre we had to say a sad goodbye to our first beautiful store at Lakeside Joondalup Shopping City. But we weren’t sad for too long as we decided to relocate to a much bigger location!
Relocated: New BIGGER Store - 4/15 Vanden Way Joondalup
So in January 2014 we begin the process of organising the new store! There was a lot to do including painting, adding walls and slat wall, figuring out the floor layout and of course ordering heaps and heaps of stock to fill the new store, which is over double the size of the old store!
Then on March 12th 2014 we began the huge task of setting up the new store! This involved two days (and a 3 tonne hire truck) of moving boxes, gondolas and spinners, then there was another eight days of unpacking and setting up the store! It was exciting and exhausting all at the same time! Our Grand Opening was on Saturday March 22nd 2014. We had goodie bags, specials and heaps of excited customers who popped in to see the amazing new store (and to pick up a few new bits and pieces).
The first months in our new location have just flown by so quickly! We now run classes in store including cards, scrapbook pages, mixed media and other techniques, and there are new classes introduced every month. Plus we are still adding more great products to our range! We carry a HUGE range of dies from brands including Spellbinders, Memory Box, Creative Expressions, Sizzix, KaiserCraft, Die-Namics, Cottage Cutz, Couture Creations, Die-Versions and Little B.
Other products we now carry include: Flower Soft, Micro Beads, Perfect Pearl Mists, Dylusions, mediums by Derivan Matisse, Stickles Dry Glitter, Fireworks, Archival inks, Versa Magic, Memento, Glossy Accents, Versa Fine, Perfect Pearl Powders, WRM Crop-A-Diles, WRM Trim & Score, WRM Punch Boards including Envelope, Gift Bag, Gift Box, Candy Box and Flower, Just Rite stamps, My Favourite Things stamps, Helmars 450 glue, metal charms, Glass Glitter, templates & stencils and much, much more.

Happy Scrapping
