25th April: Revisited.
I really meant it when I said there was no way you could feel behind until the 24th of the next month with this project. Take pictures on the 25th of the month, then you have an entire page of the calendar to tick off before the next photo day, so I just needed to find a bit of time between those magic 25s to scrap my own pages, take some pictures and have a gander at the web to see all the others this month.
I pretty much stuck to my sketch for April’s entry, and ended up including thirteen photos plus two 4×6 journaling cards attached to the back of two photos that flip up, attached with Making Memories fabric tape. I did swap one photo for the word ‘April’ as things just fit nicely that way. I am loving these letter stickers and just may use them throughout the project, as they come in a massive pack and there seems to be plenty to spell out all the months, though I will probably be stuck for zeros with all the 2008 and 2009 labels, but that can always change each month.
Another thing I am already planning to change each month is the little bit of extra embellishment. I’m not using much on top of the photos + preassembled background pages, but there is just a little. Right now, my plan is to pick something each month that is an embellishment I am using a great deal in other scrapping projects. Right now I using Circus Stories stamps and Prima flowers on page after page, so putting them to use here is not only easy but it documents that bit of personal trend. Of course, I will need to have a new favourite embellishment each month for this to happen…so we’ll see how that goes! (By the way, all Banana Frog stamps are 15% off this week along with a bunch of other stuff, so if you were dithering or fancy a bargain, now’s the time.)
And now, time to click around the interwebs to see what everyone else did on the 25th of April!

I took photos, but I haven’t joined flicker or put them in a book yet. I think I have a good excuse.

Hey Shimelle, this looks fantastic! Is it too late to join?! I’m a month behind but then I realised I was actually on my honeymoon on April 25th, so without really knowing, I did take A TON of pictures! :) Happy coincidence! So – just a request really, can you send me the prompts every month too?! Thankyou! And thankyou for all the inspiration! X

Well, I finally got brave enough to post a photo of a project – my cover and a few blank pages can be found under missy6568 on flickr. I just ordered my photos today (did them in black and white as well as color) so I will upload my first finished page too. Thanks again for a great class!

I am loving this project and right after being done with my first page, I couldn’t wait for the next 25th :) Love checking the flickr group as well… and since I have not done my cover page yet, I will be glad to see the ones you share.
Also, I have been meaning to ask for a while: where can I find Banana Frog stamps in the US? Thanks!

So, I’ve got to get my page posted. I didn’t take many photos, you’ll see why-very busy day indeed- but had a lot to write about…love this project.

I finally did my pages, and I need to get pics of them taken and them put up to Flickr and UKS.
