simple scrapbook podcast I’m back from NYC with lots of news to share! In this episode of Layout a Day, we’re talking about how you CAN take it with you — your scrapbooking, that is! I’ve got 10 ways to scrapbook on the road this summer, whether you’re in your own backyard or on the beaches of Maui. I’ll share:

  • Why paring down your supplies before your trip will make you more creative
  • How a Parisian cafe will bring out the artist in you
  • The number one question to ask at dinner to help your family do your journaling for you
  • And more!

We also welcome our first official Layout a Day Podcast sponsor, Creating Keepsakes Scrapbook Conventions! Listen to the podcast for instructions on how to win a very special crafting and crofting opportunity for you AND a friend. Contest closes June 15, 2012…

    Hi,
    I am a total newbie to scrapbooking (just 2 weeks into this hobby & am still purchasing my basic supplies), but I found your site & podcast & really love the way you present information…just FYI. And the Washi Tape Wahoo! webinar was great also!
    I would love to attend the upcoming convention in Chicago (St. Charles) in October, since I have so much to learn about scrapbooking & haven’t actually created anything yet! Plus I’ve never been to a crop or convention, so it would be quite an adventure for me & my Mom to share & experience together.
    Thanks for sharing your knowledge & experience! AquarianDesign aka Susan

    I’d love to attend the Lancaster, PA CKC convention at the end of July.  Thanks for the chance to win.  BTW, I just LOVE the new theme song.  It’s just toe-tapping fun.

    LAIN….if you’re ever in NY again, let me know. I would love to get together for a coffee or something. I’m only about 2 hrs away which may seem far but everything is relative when you live on a mountain. lol. As for CKC….I would love that chance to win…woo hoo. The closest one to me would be Lancaster, PA. Thanks again for the chance.

I ordered the 30 day layout a day class in May and as it turned out, my personal and work life got crazy. you know how “life happens.” I never got to put myself in the flickr group to download. is it over? I saved all of your emails with the links. I mnot much of a techie, and need your help. i am looking forward to the kit caboodle class! thanks!

    Hi Lain!  Thanks for the great podcost tips about scrapping on the go!  I’m traveling quite a bit this summer and am hoping to use some of your ideas so I don’t have withdrawal from scrapping.  I have always wanted to attend a CKS convention and would absolutely LOVE attending the one in Cincinnati, Ohio on September 28 & 29, so I hope you pick me!!!

  • Aubrey R

    I’d love to take the Creative Photography class. Thanks!

  • JoanieBaloney

    I would be totally down for the CKC in Tulsa, OK!  The timing and the location would be perfect for me.  I have never attended any type of scrapbooking event, and winning admission would be a fabulous reason to go.

  • LainEhmann

    Hello Rosa! Please email us at support@layoutaday.com and we’ll be glad to help you out!

  • Jeannett_mcgee

    I go to the CK Convention in PA every year.  It is in a different location this year, but I will still be there at Lancaster, PA in July.  I can’t wait, and even better would be to win these tickets.  My sister and I would be thrilled.  Thanks so much.

    For CKU Las Vegas (first time it’s in Vegas) – I like Made in Minutes for scrapping faster and Triple Play, how to use the same three layouts in different ways.  Reminds me of your post about using the same 5 layouts, which I have scraplifted.  thanks Lain for the chance.   Julie

  • Ljdiem

    I’d love to make it to the CK Convention in Lancaster, PA. I haven’t been able to make it the last two years, but I think the third time will be the charm. I love your pod casts (and your up-date on New England weather in #51. I grew up outside Boston, and I miss it sometimes.)

  • Scrappinglady

    I’d love to go to Las Vegas or Seattle . Fingers crossed.

  • Sal4gal

    So funny that you are talking about scrapping on the road. I AM camping right now. However I am digital for 10 years so I digi scrap even in remote areas, we have solar energy. But I remember the days of paper and hubby not being very happy about all of my supplies. Your podcast is fun to listen to, you have a great, happy voice. Thanks!

  • Scrappychick

    So many classes to choose from! I would have to pick No Rules Scrapbooking.

    Thanks for the chance!

  • Julie M.

    I am new to LOAD and I totally enjoyed todays podcast, looking forward to many more! I have never been to CKC and would love to attend CKC Nashville. Thanks! 

  • Emilyn

    Perfect timing on the topic. I’m in the midst of planning an October trip to Disney World’s Food and Wine Festival. Love the idea of just bringing journaling cards. Moleskins have never quite worked out for me – on any trip. I would love to go to CKC Seattle. Thanks for the opportunity!

  • Tillwescrapagain

    Hi! Seattle or Las Vegas would be great but honestly I would go anywhere if you threw in free airfare :D
    Never been to a convention so I’d try to take ALL THE CLASSES!!!!
