Kmart & BigW*sometimes* have albums, as well as a few basic things like stickers/embelishments etc
We have a few local scrapbooking shops, usually you can pick up free pamphlets from Kaiser Craft that have some great ideas in it and the shops usually have alot of displays up that are great for inspiration!
I have also got most of my supplies off ebay, I have a bedroom devoted to it all.
Good Luck with it all!
