A few years ago i bought three
Kikki K sticker books from the Adelaide City store. I am sure they were not specifically aimed at scrapbookers but all the same i bought them.
Afterwards i gave myself a mental beat up thinking 'what a ridiculous purchase - when the hell would i use them??"
and have I used them? Hell yes…

Around the same time i bought a pack of manila folders from
Typo. They had a delicious worn graph on one side.
They seemed a bit pricey at the time and again some self kicking and mental berating followed…..
however these have been my most loved scrap item that is NOT a scrap item.
(just a few quick snaps of a small amount of layouts that have been produced using these yummy typo folders.)
In fact as i looked at my stash tonight i realised i was down to my last sheet of these folders which is giving me a slightly panicky and sick feeling in my tummy. They were discontinued about 2 years ago so there is no hope of a restock :(
However i did spy some cool red and white spotty folders in Kmart the other day…..
Stationary shops / aisles in supermarkets are so fascinating aren't they?
Have you ever bought anything non scrapbooky and found it is a firm favourite when creating?

Great examples of how to use items bought in non-scrapbooking shops. I think the old shipping tag is a great example of something that is used quite a bit in scrapbooking.
I love stationary shops and ilses, always on the look out for something different to add and use in my scrap stash!! I can't walk past a typo or kikki K shop!! lol!!
