scrapyourday: pretty paper. true stories. {and scrapbooking classes with cupcakes.}

Happy 25th to you! We’re keeping it simple with black and white in our scrapbooks this month. You can download the July Album Prompt here. I snapped these photos of our plants today—some that are already in my scrapbook as seedlings. How is your book showing the passing of time or season?

Hope you’re having a wonderful day! Please drop me a note below to share what you’re up to and share your pages when they are in your scrapbook!

Despite appearances to the contrary, I have not fallen off the face of the earth. Summer is going by far too quickly and lots is going on. Between scrapbook goodness and wedding details, things are certainly busy here. And more than a little cluttered. Still, it has its perks.

In three short days it will again be time to Scrap your Day, if you’re playing along with us! Between now and then, I’ll be sending prompts to the My Freedom girls, trying on my wedding dress, finishing a string arrangement for the processional, seeing my bridesmaids to see if the dresses I’m making for them are fitting and looking lovely enough to make us all happy and going to see The Dark Knight. And perhaps eating or sleeping or something in there too. And hopefully catching up on email while I’m at it.

So it is probably a good thing that I believe in as many as six impossible things before breakfast.

Some pages from Scrap your Day participants in June:
1., 2., 3., 4., 5., 6., 7., 8., 9., 10., 11., 12., 13., 14., 15., 16..

July’s photo fact sheet will be available for download tomorrow.
New to Scrap your Day? Basically, we take pictures all day long on the 25th of every month, share them on Flickr and scrapbook them sometime over the next month. You can join us! Check out all the info here.

Two twenty-fifths in a row when I actually went to sleep on the twenty-fourth when it was technically already the twenty-fifth! What this is telling me about my supposedly changed night-owl habits, I am not too sure, but alas I was still up early today to start snapping bits and pieces of my day. (And I took a few pictures of last night’s reason for staying out late. Always worth it. And then some.)

Whether you were up late last night or asleep before my ears started ringing, I wish you a very happy and beautiful twenty-fifth to photograph and document. And here’s this month’s album prompt to help with that if you fancy!

Do comment here to share your plans for today and to leave a link to your pages when you get them completed. (And don’t forget: you may want to check in here the rest of the week too, as something new just might be happening.)

Today’s the twenty-fourth…tomorrow is the twenty-fifth! So yes, we shall be taking pictures tomorrow.

This month’s Photo Fact Sheet is here to download. Nothing technical at all this month—but an easy way to shake up your images as we enter into month three. I love shooting angles like this in the summer, but I think our participants who are more wintry right now might encourage us to try it again in another season.

...it was Scrap your Day day for May, which is a phrase with a lot of ‘ays’ to it. But also a year long project that is about to enter its third month.

If you didn’t know about the project until now, you can still join in. Scroll through entries here to see everything we’ve done so far.

In keeping with last month’s vow to use a sprinkling of whatever embellishment I have been using repeatedly, I went with this lovely satin ribbon from American Crafts and some brads. A bit more ribbon is tied to the outside rings of the binder so the cover has a bit more embellishment as the project goes on.

If you snapped photos for May but didn’t scrap them yet, you still have two days before you can even tell yourself you are behind, so here’s a big heap of inspiration from pages posted on blogs, Flickr and UKScrappers as part of May’s Scrap your Day festivities. I love watching these pop up as the month goes on—I’m starting to recognise faces in the pages and it will be lovely to see how progresses over the year.
