LOAD 526: Sense & Scrapability

LOAD 526: Sense & Scrapability
A Daily Scrapbooking Challenge
May 2026

This LOAD we’ll be heading back in time to meet Jane Austen, an author known for her wit and cheeky critique of polite society. From debating a lady’s usefulness at the age of 27 to finding true love, we’ll take you on heart throbbing adventures. While celebrating the stories that Austen wrote 250 years ago we’ll encourage you to tell your own enduring stories!

We don’t scrapbook about the theme, but instead we draw ideas from the theme!

We’ll draw inspiration from plots of Ms. Austen’s books (raising children, establishing income and even finding love), the characters (like the eager Bennet Sisters and the handsome Mr. Darcy), Jane Austen’s own life (she herself never married!) as well as how Jane has influenced us today.

Why a Layout A Day?:

• Fill your albums faster
  Whether you get 10 layouts done or all 31, you make progress to preserving your memories and have fun doing it.
• Foster Creativity
  Each day’s challenge pushes your creative boundaries, helping you grow as a scrapbooker.
• Connect and Share
  The online community aspect provides a platform to share your work, get inspired, and form lasting friendships.
• Achieve and Be Recognized
  The satisfaction of creating something every day is immense. And the finisher’s prizes? They’re just the cherry on top!

This online event includes:

• Daily prompts email
  Get the quick info on the fun for the day.
• Daily video posts filled with theme fun and the (optional) prompts in the private Circle community group
  Each day starts with a short video diving into just one aspect of Jane Austen or her works. We’ll see how her story can take on the context of telling our own stories through our prompts for the day. See an example of how our featured designers incorporate those prompts into their own layouts. Plus there may be a few bonus fun facts!
  
• Access to the project photo gallery in Circle
  We have our own private social space to share our projects and cheer each other on. Share what layout you made for the day, whether you use the prompts or not. Be inspired by what fellow LOADsters are creating. Encourage each other to keep up the good work to make it to the finish line!
• Access to a chat board in Circle
  Need more connection with fun scrapbookers? We’ve got you covered in our private chat board.
  
• A chance to win random prizes
  Who doesn’t love prizes?
• A chance at a Finishers prize and the Sunshine Commenters prize
  If you complete each of these challenge aspects you’ll get a small goody as a perk for making it to the finish line!
• A chance at a GRAND PRIZE (value at least $100) when you finish the challenge!
  Our prizes are awarded in a wrap up event the month after the end of LOAD. Join us for a live recap and prize announcements.
• Best of all a wonderful, scrappy, happy community who will support you to get your stories told!
