Mehän voidaan kukin tykönämme pitää lauantaina oikein kunnollinen värkkäily-päivä, kun mitään virallista skräppäys- tai askartelupäivää ei vielä ole lanseerattu Suomessa.

National Scrapbooking Day

It's not often that a whole day is given over to papercrafting, so good news all you craftaholics out there...

This Saturday (5th May) is National Scrapbooking Day - which has got us all at PaperCraft towers in a frenzy of scrapbooking excitement…

Where you'll find loads of ideas from across the Pond, including scrapbooking project ideas for you to try and a petition to have it made into a national holiday!

2. Get your photos out and pick your favourites!
There's no point them gathering dust in photo albums and boxes – why not turn them into a mini book instead? We've got monthly scrapbook projects in PaperCraft inspirations to get you started

3. Find your local club or crop
Search your local events listings to see if there's any gatherings of fellow crafters in your local area – then join them in some group card making or scrapbooking. It's really rewarding sharing your hobby and you'll pick up some new ideas too!

4. Scrap something in your home!
You don't have to own a 12x12in album to have a go. 'Altered objects' are all the rage with scrapbooking pros, so take a look around your kitchen or bedroom and give a household object a scrapadelic makeover! Who knows what you could decorate - from a jewellrey box to the mop!
