About Scrapbook U

Hi, I'm Monica Martinek of Fremont California. I began my scrapbooking obsession after attending a Creative Memories class at a close friend's house in 1996. I was hooked at once. I have been known to travel to different states to scrap and attend conventions. In January 2002, I attended my first Gotta Crop (www.gottacrop.com) in Carmel, California with two close friends. I was truly amazed and energized at what I witnessed. I was pleasantly surprised to discover that many other women were as obsessed as I was!

In the weeks following, I decided that Fremont needed a scrapbook store. Scrapbook U was born, and I have worked hard to make it the “best little store around” with a friendly, helpful staff and amazing teachers. At Scrapbook U, you will find all the products you love, and many unusual items as well.

Fast forward to November, 2003... in less than two years, we had outgrown our tiny location, and were fortunate to find an open space in our same center. With our expanded space, we have a beautiful new classroom, and can now carry a much larger selection of the supplies you love. We hope you will drop by to visit us soon, and to see why the "U" is so special.
