It’s about time to start fresh for a new year.

What if scrapbooking was less of a nice-to-do-when-I-have-time and more of an essential, soul-filling part of every week?

It’s more than a possibility. It’s been a reality for our Simple Scrapper community over the past thirteen years.

We’ve collected time-tested strategies to slow down and carve out time for your memories. And it all starts with a plan.

You’re invited to join us through December 12, 2024 for the 2025 Simple Scrapper Planning Party.

You will gather facts and feelings, peel back the onion about your true priorities, and draft a 2025 plan that honors why you are a scrapbooker.

I’ve become a much more effective and accurate planner by attending Simple Scrapper’s Planning Party the past two Novembers. I become easily excited by and enticed by all of the new classes and trends, but now learn to first consult my Planning Party tools so that I can realistically discern whether or not I will have the time, energy, and desire to take on a certain project at the suggested time of year, or whether I’ve already got enough on my plate. This has saved me so much frustration and disappointment by not over committing!

The Simple Scrapper community engagement in the Planning Party is encouraging and supportive; the time spent sifting and selecting potential projects has been priceless.

The planning party has helped me shape my year. By taking the time to look at what I have going on each month of the upcoming year (ie graduations and vacations) and taking the time to think about my energy level changes throughout the year, I have done a better job at creating a reasonable set of goals.

I love talking through my ideas with others and learning about what others are doing. My favorite part is making sure I save space because something will come up that I want to try. I really like our two month journeys. It is a good time frame for breaking down goals and long term projects.

Before I started attending the Simple Scrapper planning parties, I left most of my next year’s planning until the very end of the year.

I love the invitation to focus on planning in early November, before the holiday craziness sets in! Planning projects and classes I want to do in advance also helps me create a better wish list to share with my family.

In addition, I find that the questions and worksheets help me to set realistic, achievable goals for my memory keeping.
