Attend Scrapbooking Conventions or Retreats

Scrapbooking conventions and retreats are a great place to get new ideas, meet fellow enthusiasts, and buy unique scrapbook supplies. These conventions are held all over the U.S. throughout the year.

If you live in the Midwest, the Midwest Scrapbook Association (MSA) sponsors conventions in three different Midwestern states every year: Indiana, Minnesota, and Wisconsin. Check out the MSA's site for more information.

One of the largest conventions in the U.S. is the Great American Scrapbook Convention. Sponsored by Memory Makers magazine, this convention is usually held in several different Southern states in June and July.

The Memories Expo is a traveling scrapbook convention that visits several states. If you'd rather attend a scrapbook retreat, you can find a list of these events on CreatingKeepsakes.com.

Scrapbooking Conventions Are Great Places to Learn About Your Craft

Scrapbooking conventions are great places to network with other scrapbook enthusiasts and learn all about scrapbooking. A great benefit of attending a scrapbooking convention is all the free scrapbooking supplies that you can get just by attending. Free samples of borders, embellishments, and stickers are easy to find and make for great additions to your scrapbooks.

Scrapbooking conventions also offer seminars where you can learn about a variety of scrapbooking related subjects. Scrapbooking technique seminars, meet and greets with other scrapbookers, and scrapbooking history seminars are great ways to learn more about scrapbooking and develop your scrapbooking abilities even further.
