Scrapbooking in Torrance, California

[Douglas Joyce]

Imagine my surprise when I discovered there is a 4000 square foot
scrapbook store only 10 minutes from my mom's house.
Scrampers is located on Sepulveda Boulevard between Hawthorne and
Crenshaw. Scrampers has been in business since 1999 and has one of the
largest selections of stickers and paper you'll ever find. They offer
classes through out the year. Scrampers prides itself on carrying
products from over 100 vendors. When you visit Scrampers, you'll even
find products for your children and their school projects. Scrampers
was voted "Best of LA" for scrapbook supplies by Los Angeles Magazine.
Torrance is not limited to only one scrapbook store. Strictly
Scrapbooking is located on Pacific Coast Highway between Rolling Hills
Road and Crenshaw. The owner, Sophia Trujillo, offers many classes,
and shows samples on her website. Sophia offers products from many
different companies. She offers a huge variety of papers in addition
to her other products.
Strictly Scrapbooking offers teachers with employee badges 10% off on
Mondays. On Tuesdays, they offer 20% off all rolled stickers. This
offer is available to all customers. On Wednesday, Strictly
Scrapbooking will accept competitor's coupons, and on Thursday senior
citizens will receive 10% off. Wow!!
The photo opportunities in and around Torrance are abundant. I happen
to love the ocean, so Redondo Beach Pier is always on my list of
places to snap photos. They have shops, restaurants, fish markets and
a great arcade. We have easily snapped 36 photos just at the pier.
Sticking with the water theme, Ports of Call Village in San Pedro is a
charming mixture of outdoor snack shacks, shops and wonderful seafood
restaurants. The Cabrillo Marine Aquarium is a wonderful hands on
experience for children.
The South Coast Botanic Garden on Crenshaw Blvd, is just breathtaking.
I can remember taking entire rolls of film there as a teenager. The
colors and the variety of flowers are just amazing.
Finally, if you enjoy beautiful churches, visit Wayfarers' Chapel.
This church is known as the "Glass Church" as the entire structure is
made of glass and stone.
Both Scrampers and Strictly Scrapbooking will help you in converting
all of your photos to lasting memory scrapbooks.
