Save Money While Scrapbooking: White Paint

Many companies market “scrapbooking” paint for use by scrapbookers, which is often priced at up to $6 a bottle.  It is archival safe, and acid-free.

Cheaper alternative: acrylic paint that you can find anywhere.

As far as I have found and researched, the acrylic paint marketed to scrapbookers, and the acrylic paint that you can find at any craft or dollar store, is completely the same.  I get mine from Dollarama, and pay $1 for a bottle that is almost 3 times larger than those at other stores!

Plus, I use my StampinUP! reinkers and colour the paint to match the cardstock and inks that I use.  This way, everything can still coordinate – bonus!  Extra bonus – I can affor to buy more of the matching ribbon and embellishments, because I saved so much on NOT paying $3-$6 for a tube of paint!!!

If it’s true that “money doesn’t care who owns it”, then it might as well be us! :)
