Scrapbook forums in 2026: where scrapbookers still talk
The big scrapbook forums of the 2000s are quieter now, but several still run: Scrapbook.com's message boards, Scrapbook Campus, 2Peas Refugees and r/scrapbooking. The table compares them.
Browsing and posting are free.
A forum is where you ask how somebody made a page, post your own and join a monthly challenge. Most scrapbook talk moved to Facebook groups and Instagram, which are hard to search later.
We read each place below on 27 October 2026. Where a site would not open for us, we say what Google showed of it instead.

What a forum gives you that a feed does not
A thread stays where it was posted. Five years later somebody can still find the answer to which adhesive held up in a hot attic.
A feed shows today's posts and buries the rest. That suits a quick look and loses the conversations that took a week.
How to pick one
Pick by the kind of book you make and the help you want.
- Paper scrapbooking questions: Scrapbook.com or r/scrapbooking.
- Digital layouts and software: Scrapbook Campus, or a digital forum.
- A group of regulars to talk to most days: 2Peas Refugees.
- Showing a finished page with how you made it: the tbf scrapbook community.
Posting your first page
Photograph the page flat, in daylight, from straight above. Crop to the page edge.
Say what you used and what you would change. A question at the end gets more replies than a page posted on its own.
Where the tbf scrapbook community fits
Each post is a book or a page with a materials list, the steps and a place for questions. Filters split physical, digital and hybrid work.
When you credit the page you worked from, your post links back to it, and the original lists every version credited to it.
Steps
Choose one place
Start with the forum that matches the book you are making. One you read every week beats five you never open.
Read before you post
Read the rules and the last week of posts so you know what people ask there and how they answer.
Post one page
Share a page with its materials and one question about it.
Answer someone else
Reply to one question you know the answer to. That is how you become a regular.
Questions
Are there still scrapbook forums?
Yes. Scrapbook.com's message boards, Scrapbook Campus, 2Peas Refugees and r/scrapbooking all had posts in 2026. Many smaller forums closed when Facebook groups took over.
What happened to the Two Peas in a Bucket forum?
Its members moved to a ProBoards forum called 2Peas Refugees, whose oldest threads date from October 2014. The Two Peas site itself no longer answers.
Is there a forum just for digital scrapbooking?
Yes. Most digital kit shops run one, including GingerScraps, The Lilypad, Sweet Shoppe and Oscraps. Our guide to digital scrapbook forums compares them.
