Want to understand how folios actually come together? Nancy will walk you through creating a blank prototype folio, teaching you how pages, hinges, pockets, tuck spots and interactive elements work along the way. Your finished folio becomes a handy reference that you can use again and again with your favourite paper collections!

Registration for Pieces of Fall and Autumn Elegance is available through the Classes & Events page on our website here: https://www.scrapbookgarage.ca/classesevents.

Spaces are limited, so we recommend registering early if there’s a class you have your eye on!

We’d love to spend a little creative time with you this September. ❤️

Some people hear the word “Christmas” in July and their eyes light up immediately. 🎄

If that’s you, we have a feeling you’re going to love Sherrin Western’s Christmas in July Layouts Class this Friday evening. There’s still a few spots left and we’d love to have you join us!

You’ll create a single 12x12 layout and a double-page spread using festive papers, rich holiday colours, green ribbon, and gold metallic accents. Everything is pre-cut and ready for you. Just bring your adhesive, a few basic tools, and your Christmas excitement and Sherrin will guide you through the rest. Take your finished layouts home and add your holiday photos at your own pace.

A cozy creative evening in July with a little Christmas magic – it’s a pretty fun combination!

No experience necessary.

Friday, July 31 | 6 to 9 pm | $27.95 + tax

✨ Nuvo Glue (Deluxe Adhesive) Has Arrived! ✨

We are very happy to share that a shipment of Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive has just landed at Scrapbook Garage!

This popular glue has become especially difficult to find following a warehouse fire at a significant industry distributor, which has caused ongoing supply disruptions throughout the paper-crafting industry.

We received 60 bottles of the 2 oz size that fits perfectly into the Precision Glue Press by My Sweet Petunia—but with availability and and supply still uncertain, we recommend ordering early if this is one of your crafting essentials.

Shop online here:

Available while quantities last!

Did you know that everything in Sherrin’s Christmas in July Layouts class comes pre-cut and ready to go?

No cutting. No measuring. No stress. Just show up with your adhesive and a few basic tools, assemble your pages, and finish with festive papers, ribbon, and gold metallic accents. You’ll add your photos at home once your layouts are complete.

By the end of the evening you’ll have a double-page spread and a single 12x12 layout ready and waiting for your favourite holiday memories.

It’s a wonderful way to try scrapbooking for the first time, or just enjoy a relaxed creative evening without the prep work.

No experience necessary.

💙 Friday July 10th Store Hours Update 💙

Hi Everyone,

We wanted to let you know that Scrapbook Garage will be closed tomorrow, Friday, July 10th, 2026 as we attend a memorial service for a very dear friend, mentor, and cherished man who meant so much to our family 💙

We are open today (Thursday, July 9th) and Saturday (July 12th) from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm.

Thank you for your understanding. We look forward to seeing you soon! 💙

** An Important Industry Update **
As you may have heard, one of the largest distributors in the industry has had a significant setback that will affect paper crafting stores around the world for a little while, while they work through the challenges and reset.

In a nutshell, about a month ago, one of the largest craft distributors in North America experienced an electrical storm that knocked out their computer systems and shut down operations. Upon restarting, they had a warehouse fire with smoke damage that has significantly affected their main warehouse. As a result, they have had to cease operations, layoff staff, and navigate the long and tedious process of substantial insurance claims, while they work to recalibrate and reset before resuming operations.

What does this mean for you?
Unfortunately, the distributor affected has had to cancel all cued or pending orders for the foreseeable future. They are also not able to fulfill any new orders until things are resolved. As well, some of the brands that you know and love will not be available during this time as this particular distributor owns or manages many popular product lines such as: Bazzill Cardstock, Tonic Studios Products (including Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive), We R Makers, American Crafts & EK Success items, and 49 & Market products to name a few.

How will this affect retailers?
Everyone is working very hard to pivot and be able to bring you the products that you know and love, but please know that filling custom orders, preorders, or products from the companies that are owned or managed by this distributor will now take some time, if they can be filled at all.

Small stores (like us!) are resilient! We always do our best serve you, but please know that many retailers will now have to order and import items directly from manufacturers (who are being 100% supportive and doing all they can to help!), but this approach can impact our ability to order smaller quantities of certain items and can provide numerous other challenges like increased shipping costs, fulfilment shortages, shipping delays, and gaps in product availability.

Industry experts estimate that the effects of this disruption will be felt for at least 3–6 months, with some predicting it could take up to a year before the supply chain fully recovers.

Many of the manufacturers affected (such as 49 & Market) are working hard to find alternative distribution routes, but it will take some time to get items moved, relocated and set up to ship, too.

What you should know:
All of the paper craft stores that you know and love are working hard to find alternatives for you – Please support us! It is a priority for all of us to reduce the impact of this significant loss for customers as much as possible, and we ask for patience and grace as we strive to find other options to best serve you.

At Scrapbook Garage, please know that you are able to purchase items instore and in our online store as usual (in stock items you will find there are not affected at all), and we appreciate your support!
Please also know that we have temporarily paused all custom orders and preorders to reduce extended wait times, manage expectations, and ensure the best customer experience during this time. We are confident that we will be able to offer preorders again soon and are excited about the AMAZING NEW COMPANIES that we can’t wait to introduce you to!!) – Please stay tuned!

Thank you again for supporting our family business. We appreciate you!

Smiles,
Sue
