Reflective, Exploratory, Playful and a little punk

✂ Come for the scraps, stay for the fun

  • Founded by a sentimental memory hoarder with an eye for the overlooked, lifescraps invites you to reflect, explore your inner puzzles, and make peace with the mess — through sustainable scrapbooking and honest collage-making.

    Based in Amsterdam, we host cosy, low-pressure events where personal expression meets goofiness and mindful reuse. Everyone is welcome!

  • Through playful practices like collage and scrapbooking, we create space for open expression while repurposing and upcycling what’s been overlooked — emotionally and materially.

    And as we become more reflective about our lives, we also become more aware of our impact on the world, win-win!

  • Don’t know how to get started? I’ve got you covered - scrap materials, tools, warm-up prompts, guidance and emotional support.

    You bring yourself, your stories, and - only if you wish - some drawer-dwelling treasures for an extra-personal touch.
