The first Saturday in May is National Scrapbooking Day!National Scrapbook Day was started in 1994 by the well-known album company Creative Memories. and is celebrated on the first Saturday each May. Since 1994 scrapbookers all over the county celebrate their passion for Scrapbooking on this day! There are even online groups petitioning the US Government to make National Scrapbook Day a federal holiday!
Here are the top ten scrapping activities for this fun day:
1. Attend a crop or scrapbooking party! Of course, this would be #1 on the list! There is nothing better, and more motivating, than to scrap with friends new and old! In honor of National Scrapbook Day West Coast Croppers will be hosting their 2nd annual National Scrapbook Day Crop.
2. Go shopping! There is no better reason to treat yourself to a few new scrapbooking goodies! Or find a local Stampin' Up! or Close To My Heart demonstrator and get your hands on some of the newest, coolest, trendiest papers, stamps and accessories.
3. Learn a new technique! Sign up for a class at your local scrapbook store or host a Stampin' Up! workshop.
4. If you are local to the high desert area, join West Coast Croppers yahoo group. This group will keep you on your toes and keep you laughing.
5. Submit your best layouts to magazines! If you find that you are home on Nat'l Scrapbooking Day, why not submit some of your best layouts to magazines?
6. Have to be at ball games or other events during National Scrapbook Day? It's ok, grab some scrapbook idea books or magazines and take them along. You will be so ready to Scraplift some pages when you get home that evening!
7. Share your passion for preserving family memories with a non-scrapper! Think of at least one friend or family member who doesn't scrapbook and bring her along to the crop with you! There is no better way to spend National Scrapbook day than teaching someone your favorite hobby!
8. Try something different! Is there a technique that you have been itching to try? Do all your pages look alike. Get out of the rut and add something new!
9. If there aren't any National Scrapbook Day crops going on close to you consider inviting some friends over to scrap! Have everyone bring a dish for lunch and then scrap the day away!
10. Organize your stash! Let's face it! Organizing your stash is part of the fun of scrapping!
Be sure and go to a local National Scrapbooking Day CROP!! They are everywhere! If you are in the area or don't mind the drive, West Coast Croppers would love to show you a scrapping good time. Most of all, enjoy this day to preserve precious memories. Happy Scrapping!!!
