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 fourteen years.
We’ve collected time-tested strategies to slow down and carve out time for your memories. And it all starts with a plan and the 2026 Planning Party.
You will gather facts and feelings, peel back the onion about your true priorities, and draft a 2026 plan that honors why you are a scrapbooker.
Enrollment for this year has closed, but you can still get access by becoming a member.
Why You Should Attend
The Simple Scrapper Planning Party helps paper, digital, and hybrid scrapbookers set achievable goals and start planning for a creative, satisfying year! Here’s what you should know about this online event:
You Might Be Very Surprised
One of the best parts of the Planning Party is the opportunity to learn something new about yourself and your hobby. Our participants are often surprised by new insights and where our activities lead them.
You Will Be Offered Support
We host the Planning Party as an annual re-launch event for our membership community. You’ll be the first to hear the full details of our 2026 plans and receive an exclusive promotional offer to start the new year as a member.
You Will Have Enough Time
The Planning Party is just the beginning. We’ll help you lay the groundwork with simple activities, so you can marinate on your ideas through the end of 2025. In January we’ll regroup to finalize your 2026 plans.
Enrollment Closed
The 2026 Planning Party is an annual online event hosted by Simple Scrapper. Individual purchase is no longer available for this year but you can still get access to the content through our membership community. This access includes our updated annual planning workbook, guided discussion, training materials, and live event recordings.
What Participants Love
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.

This will be my 3rd planning party! It’s my favorite event of the year. It gives me the guidance to decide my true priorities for my memory keeping, instead of scrapping willy nilly. And it was a big reason I joined here

I was able to take some time to think more deeply about scrapbooking and memory keeping. It was refreshing!

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.

This will be my 5th! Planning Party is what got me into the group – the results have been amazing. I have yet to stick to the plan, but it gives me so much direction.
Melinda C.
I think it gives a chance to really think about what you might want to do! Each time you do a planning party, you get more and more out of the process.

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.

If I wasn’t already a member, I would join JUST for this!

It is a vehicle for integrating this hobby into “real life.”
