National Scrapbook Day is Today: 3 Ways to Celebrate

Today is National Scrapbook Day! It's celebrated the first Saturday of May and was started by Creative Memories. If you are like me, I find myself not doing as much scrapping as I would like. I could give you all kinds of excuses but I won't go there.

1. If it's not today, pick a time that you will give yourself to scrap. Schedule it. Write in on your calendar. Maybe you can attend a scrapbooking party or just get together with a friend or two.


2. Organize your scrapbooking space. Have you been avoiding working on your favorite hobby because your space it out of control? Spruce it up! Here's an article I wrote: Organizing Your Craft Space.


3. Get a new idea to try out. Search online, check out magazines and books, look at friends' layouts, etc. I find that when I am inspired from an idea, my creative juice start flowing. There have been times that I just sat and stared at the blank pages, wondering "why can't I do this?"

What about you? Are you celebrating National Scrapbook Day in any special way? What helps you get back into scrapbooking once you have been away from it for a bit? How do you make time for you hobby?
