National Scrapbooking Day Is May 5, 2007
The first Saturday in May is National Scrapbooking Day. This year it will be Saturday, May 5, 2007. Here are a few ideas to celebrate National Scrapbooking Day:
Scrapbooking With Friends
Attend a crop or scrapbooking party. Check online or at your local scrapbooking store for events scheduled in your area. You might even organize your own scrapbooking party with your friends. Some simple refreshments and plenty of scrapbooking workspace are all you need. You might choose to have a scrapbooking supply swap or maybe a friendly page layout contest.
Scrapbooking for a Cause
Organize a group crop party, but charge a fee and donate all proceeds to the charity of your choice. Also check your local scrapbooking stores to see if any Crop for a Cause parties are scheduled for your area.
Scrapbooking Supplies Shopping
Both local and chain scrapbooking supply stores will be having special promotions in honor of National Scrapbooking Day. Get some friends together and find the best bargains to stock up your supply cupboard. Don’t forget online stores. Look for future posts on this site for local and online sales.
Learn a New Scrapbooking Technique
Pick up a copy of your favorite scrapbooking magazine and try a new technique. One or two new scrapbooking techniques can not only enhance your photos, but it may help motivate you to get more pages done. It doesn’t have to be a difficult technique. It can be as simple as trying out a new page design layout.
Enter a Scrapbooking Contest
Take extra time and planning on a new page for those special photos you still need to scrapbook. Then check scrapbooking magazines or websites for scrapbook page contests.
Organize Your Scrapbook Workspace
Spend some time organizing your supplies or photos. Just a little time organizing and decluttering your scrapbooking space can add inspiration to your next page layout. Don’t forget to donate any old supplies you no longer use. Local preschools love leftover scrap paper and mismatched stickers.
Introduce Someone New to Scrapbooking
Teach a class, take a friend to a scrapbooking event or even take someone shopping with you. Your enthusiasm for scrapbooking might just create another scrapbooking addict.
