I hope you enjoyed National Scrapbooking Day and took advantage of some of the awesome challenges and crops either online or at your local scrapbooking stores.   You still have a bit of time left to celebrate.  Here are a few suggestions to remember National Scrapbooking Day that will take only 10 minutes or less.

1. Learn a new feature on one of your scrapbooking tools.  It could be as simple as learning how to use your Crop-A-Dile to place an eyelet, and now you won’t just use it for punching holes (even though it is just totally amazing for that!)  If you have a die cut machine, take out the manual and try one new feature with a scrap piece of paper.

2.  Read an inspiring scrapbooking article on one of your favorite scrapbooking sites.

3.  Browse through an online scrapbooking gallery, like the one at Two Peas in a Bucket.

4.  Order some new supplies at an online scrapbooking store.  They are all having some kind of awesome sale today!

5.  Take a photo of your scrapbooking space as it is right now.  You can make a layout for it later and journal about National Scrapbooking Day.

6.  Make a quick list of 10 things you love right now and remember to date it.  Tuck that away to scrapbook later.

7. Pick a photo and make an easy digital scrapbooking page using a digital quick page.

Happy National Scrapbooking Day!
