I have been wanting to do this project since seeing it in Rebecca Sowers book Scrapbooking Life's Little Moments back in the Autumn of 2004. You can see it on page 62 if you have the book :) She made a little book using numbered index cards bound with book rings.
So I plan to Scrap July 2008. Each day I will record what I have done, snippets from the news, the temperature, if it rained or was sunny. Basically anything!
I have prepared my 'book', by collecting scraps from my ScrapRoom kit. The max page dimensions are 6x4.
I then punched each page with my bind it all and have them bound with a book ring. This is because each evening I will choose a 'page' and record my day on it. I don't want to put it together now, and then have to use the pages in the order i've chosen today. I also plan to put photos in, which will be punched and bound and included as pages in the book.
And now the question is WHO WILL JOIN ME? Come on you know you want to!
Kick off it the 1st of July and all you need to do is decide on a format and take 10 minutes out to make a visual record of your day, each day as it happens.
Photos of my pages will be posted in an album here and of course you are welcome to send in your photos to be included too. Email us at [email protected] :)
See you on the 1st for A Month In My Life kick off!

This looks like fun!
I'm going to do it but for my 5 year old to keep a track of his summer break. It will help encourage him to write more - hopefully!
Thanks for the inspiration x
