If you’ve been around the scrapbooking world for a while, you’ve probably heard of National Scrapbooking Day… but have you ever stopped to think about where it actually came from?
National Scrapbooking Day (NSD) is celebrated on the first Saturday in May each year, and it all started as a way to encourage people to document their memories, tell their stories, and connect through creativity.
Back in the early days, it was about getting together—whether in person or online—to carve out time to scrapbook, share ideas, and remind ourselves why we do this in the first place.
And honestly? I still think that’s what makes it so special 💛
It’s not just about the products…
it’s about the stories, the photos, and those everyday moments that deserve a place outside of our phones.
Why I Love National Scrapbooking Day
For me, NSD has always felt like a little reset.
A reminder to:
- print the photos
- sit down at my table
- and actually create something
Because we all know how easy it is to put it off…
“I’ll do it later” turns into months (or years 👀)
And this day? It’s the perfect excuse to just start.
