Katie's World

This place looks very tiny from the outside, but actually has a lot of stock. Don't be surprised if it always looks like a dud of a store judging by the cars in the parking lot; the "store hours" are pretty lame, even by Stockton standards. According to the Events Calendar, the store is CLOSED every weekday, except Friday, when it's open Noon-6pm. Oh, but not on Sept. 26, when it's CLOSED. Open Sat/Sun from 10:30am-5:00, but not on Sept 27-28, when it's CLOSED. Five classes are offered during this month, all of them on days the store is closed. So how is it that they're celebrating its 4-year anniversary? How much business is this store pulling in? By the way, did I mention they don't charge sales tax here? But to make up for it, the prices seem a little steep, even by scrapbooking standards. If you're looking for stickers, this place has lots of 'em. If you're looking for anything wedding-related, this place does not have 'em. At all. 12x12 paper is plentiful here, but a pain to look through, because they're displayed several layers deep per paper tray. Katie's provided tabs to separate the different patterns, and also has them separated by category (sports, beach, etc), but it's still very time consuming to look at all of it, especially if you're like me and don't go in with anything particular in mind. This is a great place for Disney stuff; LOTS of character stuff I hadn't seen before, and even Hannah Montana-type stuff. And don't forget to check out the side room for sale/clearance items.Overall, I'll definitely come here again, when I have more time and when the store is open. When those two criteria shall meet, who knows....

Drove 35 minutes out of my way to come here ... posted hours are 10am-5pm on Saturday's ... and here I am at 2:01 and they're closed.Complete waste of time.

A scrapbook store is so hard to find these days, and I hope this store remains opened. They do have a fair amount of products, but I did find pricing a bit higher. I was particularly looking for the Heartfelt Collection. Prices were higher than getting it direct from Heartfelt and other places I've been to. There are a lot of examples to help get your creative juices flowing. The place was very neat and organized.

Wow... just wow.... get ready world! I just found Katie's World! I first found this location on Yelp and had to stop by. Scrap booking stores are few and far between, especially now a days. We entered and we're greeted. I immediately noticed the 100s of Disney printed paper, stickers, etc. I was in shock! Halloween paper and stickers were not the greatest selection but certainly found deals and cute paper to bang out some cards for my friends. I will certainly be back!

I live in Sacramento, so this is a bit of a drive for crafting supplies, but Katie carries Heartfelt Creations (which you won't find at Michael's or JoAnn's). I'm taking a card making class right now and am having a blast. The store itself is clean, organized, and the items are the prices you'd expect for the specialty items sold.I'd definitely recommend to anyone in the scrapbooking hobby. Will definitely come back!

I really take exception to the review written by Patty W. ! I think she happened on the store, made her judgements by exterior appearances (which really aren't bad but aren't "BAY AREA"), and never talked to Katie once she entered the store. Had Patty done that and asked questions, she may have learned why the hours are set as they are (this is the owner's avocation not her vocation) , why classes are scheduled when the store is closed (most of her customers cannot do day classes...evenings are good for them). As to Patty's comments about pricing...I am astounded! I find the prices better, in most cases, than even the "big box" stores like Joann's or Michaels. And certainly better than any of the other "local" (Elk Grove/Sacramento) stores. Not sure where Patty shops for her supplies-only on sale at Joann's with their limited supply? Moving on to paper...Katie's World's selection and variety is beyond amazing! But the space IS finite and so the paper has to be stacked with tabs by category or the store would have to be HUGE! I have sent people there looking for scrap booking paper for skydiving that they couldn't find anyplace else. Katie's has a phenomenal selection of state/country paper and I have referred folk there just for that for their post-vacation scrapbooks . And wedding paper and embellishments? Well, once again, Patty didn't take the time to ask where or if. I travel a lot and have been to scrapbook stores from California to Massachusetts and in between. I have yet to be in a store that has the overall selection of paper, embellishments and tools that Katie's World has. I may have been in stores that seem a bit better organized until I start looking around and realize that I've somehow gone from pets to baby and tools and back and cannot find what I saw during my first pass through. And then I try to find someone to ask. Therein lies the key to visiting a new store...Ask! If you are a scrapbooker or a paper-holic like me and are in the area, I would recommend stopping. The hours may be a bit problematic but you can always call. Katie's World is a great store and well worth visiting!!

Katie's world has a large variety of products and multiple diverse classes to choose from.

Hands down, Katie's World is the best place in town to get scrapbooking goodies. Sadly I don't make it out there too often but when I do, I always stop by and look at all the goodies.

Katie's World has a huge variety of scrapbooking supplies. Everything is so organized. Can't wait to bring my nieces next time we hangout and have some scrapbooking fun! They love everything Disney and Katie's World has everything and more...

Katie's is the only scrapbook store to have survived the few years. There's a good reason. She has everything! She is friendly helpful & knowledgeable. She's also passionate about what she does. I have been in many scrap stores but few are as friendly or have the extensive stock that Katie does. She offers make & takes on Tuesday's. Numerous classes during the month as well as. Cropathons! The shop does look small on the exterior but don't let that deceive you! You will find gems here you will never find at chain stores...with added benefit of someone who really knows the product.If you need anything just ask Katie!!
