karen (a regular on this forum) will surely know - but it would help to know where you are? Helsinki? Nuorgam?

I've been to Sinelli couple of times and they have lots of papers and other scrapbooking materials.
One store is in Helsinki downtown, near Forum so it's easy to go there from Espoo as well.
I recommend!

Quite close to Kamppi and a couple of blocks from Sinelli is Hobby Point, at least I think they used to have scrapbooking materials. Haven't been there for awhile, but they are my favorite hobby store here.

Sinooperi (mentioned alread) has scrapbooking stuff, check their homepage for store locations. I used to like their Vantaa (in Varisto, where all the furniture stores are) store the best, but I haven't been to the Kluuvi store yet, so it might be big too (used to have more smaller stores, apparently they have closed most of them).

There are also some Finnish online stores selling scrapbooking materials.

Ahem... http://www.heinikka.fi/ (I happen to know the owner)

So as to avoid accusations of nepotism, there's also e.g. this one http://paperikierre.com/

Both pages seem to be in Finnish only.

I buy lots of scrapbook supplies when I'm in Texas (like right now). I'll be back in Finland on Monday with a fresh supply. Maybe you'd like to come over and crop with me. I have lots of stuff.

You're welcome to use anything I have. How old is your niece and what do you have in mind? I'm going to Target tomorrow and could go to Hobby Lobby as well. I know that I have several chipboard albums at home already. Quite a few composition notebooks for altering. I have a little bit of everything.

I have purchased from Heinikka and from this place that is owned by a Finn living in Sweden. Skräppikulma

I'll still be here in August. When I was unpacking, I found something you might want to use. It's a small pink album. Since it's your first time, you may not want to commit to a large project. You're welcome to come over and have a look.
