This store is now known as Eckersley's, so I reiterate my comments for that store: I think this store is trying to be a jack of all trades and has managed to be a master of none. They have a disappointingly small range of specialty papers and other scrapbooking supplies, as well as artist's paints and supplies. It's only a small store and simply doesn't have the physical space to attempt to diversify to this extent. They'd be better served choosing a market to cater for and concentrating their efforts in that direction. In addition, I found them to be significantly more expensive than other stores, and they offer no loyalty program (I asked about this and they claim their prices are so low they don't need to offer this incentive).

Colour Create has a wide range of craft supplies, with heaps of different papers and paints to choose from. The staff tend to stay behind the counter and are happy for the customers to bring any queries to them. They don't do discounts for bulk item purchases, so things can be a bit expensive.
