A chapter has ended — and what a beautiful story it has been.
On October 15, 2025, we announced that Creative Scrapbooker Magazine will be publishing its final issue, the Winter 2025 edition. This decision comes with full hearts, deep gratitude, and an overwhelming sense of pride for the 20 years of creativity we’ve shared together.
From a spark of an idea around a campfire to a beloved quarterly magazine that inspired readers across Canada, the United States, and beyond — this has been a journey built on passion, community, and the joy of handmade art.
Reflecting on Two Decades of Creativity
Over the past 20 years, Creative Scrapbooker Magazine has filled homes, classrooms, and craft rooms with ideas, laughter, and inspiration. Together, we’ve celebrated thousands of scrapbook layouts, cards, and mixed media projects.
We’ve shared techniques from some of the most talented artists in the paper crafting world and showcased the incredible work of our readers. Most of all, we’ve built friendships that extend far beyond the pages of a magazine.
Every stapled corner, every glossy cover, every creative spark — it all happened because of you.
The Final Issue – Winter 2025
Our Winter 2025 issue marks our grand finale — a 20th Anniversary celebration filled with heart, history, and a look back at the creative journey that brought us here. It’s a keepsake issue — one that captures the joy, talent, and community that has defined Creative Scrapbooker Magazine from the very beginning.
And we’ve got one more big surprise to share! Inside this special Winter issue, we’re announcing a huge contest where one lucky reader will WIN a $2,000 prize package sponsored by our amazing friends at Ranger, Elizabeth Craft Designs, Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L, and Stampers Anonymous! YAHOOO!
