Scrapbook.com Haul – Crafty Happiness Delivered to Saudi Arabia



For my fellow crafters living in Saudi Arabia—or even in the Philippines—where international brands can be hard to find or ridiculously expensive, let me introduce you to one of my new favorite online stores: Scrapbook.com (not sponsored, just really happy with the experience!).



Shipping fee? Reasonable.

Shipping time? Not bad at all.

Product selection? Crafting heaven.


My friend Kaye has been ordering from Scrapbook.com while in Manila, and she usually gets her parcel in about 1–2 weeks. She picks it up from the post office, and despite it being an international shipment, it’s been quite smooth for her. So I thought, why not try it from here in Saudi?


Okay fine, let’s be honest—I’ve been “studying” how different companies ship to Saudi Arabia (hi to my husband if you’re reading this!). But for real, when I first moved here, I struggled to find a legit intense crafting store. Jarir Bookstore became my go-to—it has an arts and crafts section with some international brands like Happy Planner, Stamperia, Cricut, and Copic, but the selection is limited and the prices are high.


They carry a lot of products from Roco, a local brand that looks very similar to Rosie’s Studio (same packaging and all, just different branding). I’ve even compared them—and yes, Rosie’s Studio is actually cheaper even after adding international shipping, as long as you order in bulk to make the shipping worth it.


My Scrapbook.com Experience

  • Order Date: May 20

  • Estimated Delivery Window: May 31 – June 26

  • Actual Delivery Date: June 14 (yay, even with Eid holidays!)

  • Shipping Fee: USD $17.79 (approx. PHP 984 / SAR 65)

  • Customs/Tax: SAR 56.75 (approx. PHP 851) may be paid via SPL online or at the post office


My package arrived via SPL (Saudi Post), and I received a message saying my parcel was ready for pickup. Even better—it was waiting in a locker, so there was no need to talk to anyone or queue at the counter. Just scan, open, grab, go. 








Was It Worth It?


Absolutely YES.

Aside from the fast and smooth delivery, Scrapbook.com always has great promotions and freebies if you reach certain minimum spends. I initially thought I could only choose one freebie—but nope! I added multiple to my cart based on different spend thresholds and got:

  • Scrapbook.com Mint Tape

  • Scrapbook & Cards Today Magazine (current issue!)

  • Spellbinders ColorWheel Cardstock Collection



Oh, and did I mention I also got 11% off my total from an ongoing promo? It was such a nice bonus!


Final Thoughts


If you’re a paper crafter in Saudi Arabia (or the Philippines!) who’s been hunting for a reliable source of branded supplies, I highly recommend Scrapbook.com. The shipping is fair, delivery is efficient, and the product range is chef’s kiss. Plus, those freebies and promos make the shopping experience even sweeter.


Let me know if you’ve tried ordering from them too—or if you’ve found other crafty online stores that ship reliably to Saudi or the Philippines. I’m always on the lookout for new places to hoard supplies from! hehehe!

10 Years Married: From 8AM Vows to Riyadh City Lights

I t feels like just yesterday when we said  I do  at 8AM — and I still remember thinking,  Why didn’t we make it 9 instead? Haha. But here we are, a decade into marriage, 14 years together, and living this unexpected chapter of our lives in Saudi Arabia. Watch our SDE here !💙 Currently, we’re based in  Al Ahsa , one of the oldest provinces in Saudi. For those unfamiliar, think of it as the  probinsya  version of Saudi — calm, rich in heritage, and definitely far from the city buzz. So for our 10th anniversary, we decided to shake (yesss - shake! lol) things up a bit and drive to  Riyadh , the capital. Imagine two  probinsyanas  from some quiet part of the Philippines heading to Manila — that was the vibe. The Road to Riyadh My favorite road sign! haha! We left Al Ahsa around 10AM and arrived in Riyadh a little past 1PM. (Yes, that’s 3+ hours on the road!) With check-in at the  Four Seasons Hotel  only starting at 4PM —  4PM, c...

All the Cricut MEA Prizes I’ve Won (So Far!)

I still remember the first time I joined Cricut MEA’s Ramadan Challenges back in March 2024. I was so excited to take part daily — crafting along with the community for almost 25 days straight — until I was told that Saudi Arabia couldn’t join. 😢 Fast forward to December 2024, and everything changed! Cricut MEA officially opened up the challenges to Saudi residents — and I didn’t waste a second. I jumped right into their Christmas Countdown Challenges, and from then on, I’ve joined every single challenge they’ve hosted. December 2024 January 2025 February 2025 March 2025 And now… LOOK AT THIS LOOT! 😍 Watch my unboxing reel here. A huge, heartfelt thank you to Cricut and Monster Middle East for organizing such fun and inspiring events. My crafty heart is full, and my shelves… well, they might be full too. 😅 And of course, none of this would be possible without my husband, who has been 100% supportive of all my crafty adventures from day one. ❤️️ Stay tuned — I’ll be sharing more of w...

Happy Cutie-versary, Kelly Bangs!

Can you believe it’s been  five whole years  of Cutie craftiness?! Kelly Bangs is celebrating her 5th Cutie-versary, and as the Design Squad is joining in on the fun!   To mark the occasion, I made a mini album using a mix of some of my favorite Cutie-versary elements — like the adorable Cutie Pie trophies, Florals Greatest Hits (for florals are forever a fave!), The Shape Parade (tags and squares), Mini Guest Checks, and those sweet Scout Friends. It’s a cheerful little project that made me smile from start to finish… even with a  tiny  hiccup. Here’s the funny part: I finished decorating all the inside pages first — each one carefully layered with a piece from The Shape Parade (square) then I went ahead and glued the cover on  upside down.  😅 So now all the pages (especially the ones with the letters and number print) are technically flipped. But honestly? That’s one of the things I love most about crafting — the little mistakes that turn into happ...
