I was in my local Target this morning and noticed that almost all the scrapbooking supplies are on clearance. Anyone else notice this in their neck of the woods? Is Target discontinuing this line of products? :(

No, I don't think so. Target does that every few months. They bring in new stuff more than any store I have ever seen. This past summer they cleared everything out at 50% in my area and I asked. That is what the stocker told me--new stuff every 6 months. Once the hit break even points, Target puts it all on clearance.
Our Target here Clearanced everything (well most everything) in their entire store because they are closing tonight and remodeling it into a Greatland Target. They will reopen in time for the holidays.

Yes, I've asked the sales people before and they have replied that they get in new stock every few months. But thanks for the enabling alert. I may decide to make a run tonight.

While I buy very little crafty stuff at Target, I'm glad to know they aren't clearing away the entire department. It's very close in case of a "pinch"! ;)
The clearance prices weren't discounted enough to make me want to "get it all". I actually didn't get anything. Their regular prices are better than Michaels and HL everyday prices.

I may have to check that out tomorrow before or after work.
It depends, we're trying to get the house cleaned up. Ladies from church are visiting on Thursday and my scraproom is all over the living room cause that's where I scrap.
I got some great K&Co. dimensional flowers and can't wait to use them! They weren't a HUGE bargain, but good enough to dabble! Better than paying full price in my book! HA!

OMG! I was SHOCKED when I went to Target yesterday and the scrapbooking section was GONE, completely GONE! Completely empty aisle. There were a few miscllaneous items on the clearance endcap, and a little sign saying "something new & exciting is coming" (or something to that effect). I hope it is more scrapbook stuff! sniff sniff :(
I was at Target today and they had a bunch of new supplies in, so I think we can rest easy. They had this really cute summer paper pack with oranges/strawberries, etc.

Oh Dear, I hope not!! We don't have Target in Canada and I am going to LA in April for a long weekend with some girlfriends and can't wait to hit a Target!!!
I went in today and it was mostly preprinted invite kits left. I did pick up some really cute red and white treat bags with button embellishments--a box of 50 for about $5.
I went to Target today and was VERY disappointed at what I saw. They had replaced a lot of their papers and other stamping stuff (one side of the aisle) almost entirely with scrapbooking albums!! I don't know how many people they thought were suddenly going to start needing SB albums, but they got 'em! I did see one new stamp set from Autumn Leaves (safari animals).

I asked the clerk at the register and she said they are just clearing out to bring in new stuff. If you check around the store, many departments are in the same shape...condensed bare shelves just waiting for new merchandise. I am glad to see they rotate the stock to bring in new stuff
I guess I'd better stop by my neighborhood Target to check it out. I almost hope that the clearance stuff is gone and the new stuff is sitting there waiting to come home with me!
Yes, they did clear out a lot and I was expecting a bunch of new stuff but, as I mentioned above, it seems they have FILLED UP the shelves with JUST scrapbooking albums. There are no more empty shelves at this point. That is what is disappointing and concerning.

We just had a total renew/redo of our Target store, and they put in two full aisle's of new stuff, so I don't think they are going out. Have a gf who works there as an ***'t mgr. I'll ask her for the skinny and let you know.
I stopped in at Target earlier this week and was disheartened to see the craft aisle nearly empty. It looked like they were moving some of the stationary items into that area.

I just came back from Target and you are right! They had tons of new stuff in and there were two clerks still working on the next isle over. It is mostly Making Memories (much more than they used to stock) and the "generic" brand of Making Memories. I bought some neat canvas flowers as the big splurge today!
I must be at the wrong Targets. I have never seen scrapbooking stuff at the ones in Maine or here in NM. Am I looking in the wrong area? All I see are greeting cards, but then I do not go to Target very often.

At my Target they are in the isle between the candles and the school supplies.
WOW! Stopped into target yesterday and found the aisle all redone - way cool stuff coming in - new paper packs, new punches, stickers, and so much more. I found tons of K&Co. stuff as well as Making Memories all in coordinating packs and stickers and embellies.
Also, I found tons of things in the clearance sections ( you know, hidden on the back end caps of each aisle) my DD had a great time with the fiskars punches and looking thru Autumn Leaves stamps, holiday stamps and albums galore.
Hopefully everyone will find this in their store soon - this store is only a year old and seems to move stuff in and out ahead of schedule since it is the only "big" store in the area.
