Scrapbook stores in Southern Wisconsin???

[kmolitor]

I am planning a scrapbook store road trip with a few of my friends. I am from Racine and was thinking about going west to Madison or heading north to Cedarburg. I found the following stores, anybody have any favorites of their own that we should stop at or have any comments on the ones I listed.

Going west towards Madison
Scrapbook & Stamping Memories in Madison
Scrapbook superstore in Madison
Archivers in Madison (are they all basically the same? I frequent the Gurnee Mills store)
Memories from the Heart in Delavan

Going north
Creative Pals in Brookfield
Legacy Scrapbook in Cedarburg

I would like to stop at at least 3 stores.

Don't forget to stop at Polkadots in Mukwonago. They are great! Stamps, classes, paper, everything!

Polka Dots (formerly Stamper's Cupboard), in Mukwonago. Nice selection of stamping & scrapping supplies.

If you like Whipper Snapper stamps, you don't want to miss Creative Pals, it's their home. Huge selection of papers & cardstock. Great classes for watercolor stamping, colored pencil techniques, Copic marker techniques. Kathy is a very talented instructor. If there are four of you, a private class could be scheduled. If you are into Copics, you would really get a lot out of her class. Also, they refill Copics (but only on certain days). Creative Pals Classes

Have never been to the store in Delavan, but Delavan, Mukwonago, Brookfield would be a nice route to take. Probably 45 min travel time between each.

Have only been to the Archiver's in Madison but am guessing that as big & awesome as the are, they are all pretty much the same.

Scrapbook Store on Odana Rd in Madison is very well stocked. Archiver's would be about 20 min. farther west.

There was a scrapbook store on the east side of Madison, just west of East Towne Mall, but not sure if they are still there. Since Jazzy's stamping store closed, I don't go to that area any more.

Don't forget about Serendipity Scrapbooks in Waukesha. I think they are worth the stop! Have fun on your roadtrip!!

Gina K is right off the beltline a mile or two south of Madison. She has limited store hours! Check her website.

Thanks for posting this thread. I will be heading to Madison in Sept.

Waukesha is next door to Brookfield (Creative Pals is a neat place), and there's a scrapbook store in the downtown: Serendipity Scrapbooks - Home
