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!

Mini Album with Tags | Polkadoodles Project

I had so fun creating this sweet little  Mini Album with Tags  using Polkadoodles printable goodies - it was fun and relaxing. This project is simple and it’s super versatile too. I designed the base cut file myself using  Cricut Design Space , and if you’re using DS, you can grab the file right here . It’s a great starting point if you’re looking for a quick and easy project with lots of room for personalization. For the papers, I used the  Happy Cactus Succulent Printable Papers  from Polkadoodles. The cheerful colors (my fave colors too!) and patterns are perfect for a spring or summer vibe. I paired them with solid cardstock for structure, using it for both the base and the tags tucked inside. The sentiment on the bellyband— “Hi, You” —comes from the  Honeypie Greetings Sentiment  pack. It’s such a simple but sweet message that works for just about any occasion. To finish it off, I tied a cute  polkadot ribbon on the tags  for a little e...

First Christmas card of the year — check! I’m officially diving into festive crafting, and what better way to start than with a sparkly, interactive  easel clear front card ? I love how this one turned out. For this project, I combined die cutting, digital stamps, and a bit of dimension to create a unique card that’s both sturdy and see-through (yes, acetate powers!).

Digi Choosday Project | Gratitude Journaling Folio with Polkadoodles Autumn Fall Fox

Digi Choosday Project | Gratitude Journaling Folio with Polkadoodles Autumn Fall Fox   This week’s Digi Choosday prompt is  Halloween / Autumn , and while I initially planned on making just one Halloween project, I couldn’t help but want to do an Autumn-inspired one too. So… here’s my second project: a  Gratitude Journaling Folio  featuring the adorable  Autumn Fall Foxes  from Polkadoodles!  This folio is actually a  one-page wonder  design, but I saw the perfect patterned papers in the  Boo Halloween Paper Digital Bundle  and  Enfys Jetsetting Digital Stamp Bundle —so I ended up layering extra panels inside. If you’re recreating this, feel free to stick with a single 12x12 patterned paper, or go wild like I did!  The  cover  is a mixed media combo of a paper doily, trims, flowers, one of the Autumn Fox digi stamps, and the word  “Grateful.”  Inside, I added more sweet words like  “Thankful” ...
