International Scrapbook Day 2026

It's time for the celebration to begin... InterNational Scrapbook Day (iNSD) is here and there is lots going on all around the web.


Some of the fun started last week already with The Lilypad Messy bloghop kit. This weekend there are lots more sales happening and also fun challenges and scraps in the forum. I will post a summary on Tuesday.

 

SweetShoppe - there is a big sale on and also lots of fun games as well as scrapping challenges. I am choosing this year to just do the games and then fast track my bingo card with some shopping and sharing. I just don't have enough hours in my day to get to all the scrapping that I would have liked to do. I did squeeze some time in to do these two layouts:

Template Mash-up

Paper-to-digi

 



 Update: I won my wishlist!!! Now I have more stash to scrap.

 

Gingerscraps has a week long sale (which I've decided to skip) and special iNSD challenges running. As much as I wanted to take part I have had to decide to not take part in these challenges this year... just too much else happening this week.
