Save the day
Alarm clock shot sorted. Now just everything else to keep up with the snapping.
You can download this month’s album prompt if you fancy.
A little word about the scrapbook tape mentioned in the prompt—I didn’t mean to cause confusion with so many tapes around! Essentially, you’re looking for anything that is sticky on one side and not on the other. So not double-sided tape. But something decorative. Heidi Swapp decorative tapes. Clear tapes from Prima/Iron Orchid. Fabric tape from Making Memories. Adhesive-backed fabric paper from Love, Elsie. Even border stickers do the trick.
If you don’t have those lingering in your stash, don’t worry about buying them. You can do exactly the same thing by cutting strips of patterned paper, folding them in half and adding adhesive to one side of the paper, both sides of the fold. Attach one side of the fold to the photo, the other side of the fold to the paper and it all works.
Never fear—I will post some pictures tomorrow to help illustrate.
But otherwise—snap away and scrap away!

I did the alarm clock photo – a little tricky with the digital time display & I finally realized the camera flash was was the problem. Got it finally. I’ve taken a lot of photos already – at least 50 I bet and it is only 11:30 am here. Fun stuff.

Well, I haven’t taken very many photos yet today but when I saw you’re alarm clock photo it weirded me out a little…I took a photo of the view from my backyard this morning here in Vancouver at 6:38am…I remember the time because I was late for work.
25 April 2008, 23:08
I’m still taking photos of the day but posted photos of my “blank” album on my blog—check it out, I’m so happy with it so far!

26 April 2008, 14:08
Fab project, scrapped one page for yesterday already (though I cheated and got a free photo from the net). Drama happened and I forgot my camera Doh! LOL
26 April 2008, 15:22
Oohh I love this idea. Carry my camera with me all the time anyway so this will be cool.
27 April 2008, 03:54
I have made my pages for this challenge. I am sure somewhere you said you would like to see them. I have post mine on UKscrappers under viviennejane. Thanks for a great project.
27 April 2008, 04:10
I took as many pictures as my brain could remember to take!! I thought it would be fun to do this – particularly over the next few months when life is gonna change pretty rapidly!
27 April 2008, 07:38
Finally got around to loading some images onto my new blog. What did I choose as my first images? Well, pages from my Save your Day album of course! So this is 2 new things I have done this week; Start an online class, and start a blog!
27 April 2008, 10:01
My photos are done…I took a bunch but narrowed it down to 12 that I’m going to use…they’re in the Flickr gallery and on my blog. Hopefully I’ll get to working on the album today! xoxo

27 April 2008, 17:36
Didn’t follow prompt sheet, just did my own thing – will continue to do that as would get anxious about doing it RIGHT!!! Made 12×12 page on Sat – a challenge, as I had to use 9 photos and I’m a “as few as possible” girl!! (go lady with 250 – I wanna see THAT page!! ) SO thrilled to have achieved this !! Roll on MAY!!
27 April 2008, 20:08

28 April 2008, 07:23
Got my photos – starting with my alarm clock, and ending with my watch when I went to bed. I will have to cheat and take a couple more when I get home tonight, as I only thought of them on the train!
