May '15 JimmyPrydz

My wife has finally decided to follow her dreams to start her own scrapbook store.
Could you please help her out by telling us what your favorite brands are? We are currently retailer for American Crafts, Freckled Fawn and My Minds Eye but are there any other major american brands that you think we should know about?
Also, do you preferrer traditional scrapbooking such as layouts and card making or are you more into project life?
The name of the store is http://honeybunny.se. The site is in Swedish, but feel free to have a look around and give any constructive feedback that comes to mind.
Thanks a lot!

Thank you! Some of those suppliers are new to us, so we'll have a look at those.

I agree with all the ones listed. I'd take a look at BasicGrey, We R Memory Keepers, and Webster's Pages too. Good luck!

Check out Moxxie, October Afternoon, Bella Blvd, Petaloo, and Glue Arts. When my husband and I had our online store, we couldn't keep the tools from We R Memory Keepers in stock, but their paper was harder for us to move. Also check out Echo Park in Utah. They have great customer service and Madison Parker (one of the co founders) was amazing to work w/. I've been thinking of reopening since we moved to Ct from FL but I haven't found a decent area yet.

I wish you and your wife the best with your new store!!!

I love Maja Design!! Being that it is made in Sweden there are probably a lot of stores that carry it already. Not so many here. We R Memory Keepers has some pretty amazing tools, love the new one (photo sleeve fuse) used with PL type layouts or any layout for that matter. Already sold out here after three weeks!!

I love all the paper lines that have been suggested. Don't know that I have ever purchased We R Memory Keeper paper but all the rest is in my stash!

What I see is that almost all the paper is pastels. I am not much of a pastel person so this would not appeal to me. I would like some more punch in my paper. Also, you just need more stock - you have to make it worth the cost of shipping.

7 dots studio is amazing- hard to find in the US but most of the European scrappers use it all the time. Very jealous!!!

Seems like most of the European scrappers are very into the mixed media. I spend a lot of time on Russian blogs and challenge sites because the work is amazing!!! Good luck with your new store =)

7 Dots is my absolute favorite EVER. I love their stuff. I really wish it was more readily available here, but luckily I found one site that usually carries their full collections. I just try to order before they sell out.
