Hi!
I'm not yet involved with scrapbooking, but I am an avid recycler. I have been building up a stock of bits n pieces I've taken from old birthday cards etc. and magazines. Have cut letters creatures etc from Easter egg packaging. Also I've used e.g flower hole punches and cut things from old gift wrap such as lots of various themes babies children animals etc. I don't believe in making craft a very expensive pastime as I am interested in so many things I'd need a fortune to try everything. No doubt many keen scrapbookers might disagree with me regarding acid-free items etc, but how long are you expecting your scrapbook to last for? Hope this helps in some way!
Best Wishes,
Tina

and hello from me too!!
Spend what your budget is and look around for bargains that you would not necessarily class as 'crafting'. The Range is good too.
Try not to get everything at once but to build up slowly and see what you like first. There are a lot of sites with free backing papers but some of the quality is not too good.
Although I'm a part of the Funky Hand design team, I already had most of the CD's Funky Hand had produced plus the backing papers and they are fab!! You get a lot for £15!! This is a good way to build up backing papers plus you can print them onto anything that will fit into your printer! Or she has downloads too for around £3.50. If it helps, go onto my blog and look at all the stuff I have tagged with Funky Hand to see what you can make!!
Can you tell I like Funky Hand??!!!

My limited scrapbook expereience is to spend hours cutting up Xmas and birthday cards for elderly ladies and gentlemen to stick into scrap books. I do try to keep them to a theme but as for a professional job - whoooo - I'd love to see one.
Any way I started off to say 'Good Luck' with this venture. You will get lots of constructive help here.
