What: Scrapper's Playground
Where: 785 Deer Park Ave., North Babylon, 631-539-9888, scrappersplayground.net
Hours: Tuesday-Saturday 10 a.m.- 7 p.m.; Sunday 10 a.m.- 5 p.m.; Closed Monday.
Details: Tucked into a small shopping center just north of Sunrise Highway, Scrapper's Playground is a new store geared toward scrapbookers, stampers and other DIYers. Though the space is tight, the shelves are loaded with an impressive selection of modern supplies not typically stocked in stores. Of note- sheets of luxe felt embellishments ($18) and acrylic stamp designs ($40 for 12 x 12 sheets) from Fancy Pants Designs and transparent page overlays, rub-ons, and patterned papers ($3-$5.25) from the cult-favorite Hambly Studios.
Owner Sue O'Malley says she carries these boutique lines because her store is small and she'd rather give scappers materials they can't easily find elsewhere. Several classes are offered-- a mix of crop sessions, themed layout designs and papercraft projects.
