Have you been playing along with the June TDP challenges? This month’s word is “Celebrate.” My challenge for you is to celebrate the EVERYDAY. Sure, we all scrap the big events of life, but how about the normal, sometimes boring, mundane “everyday” stuff that makes life great (or crazy, or whatever!)? It’s the normal everyday stuff of life that is so easy to forget if we don’t document them somewhere and for me it’s these memories that I really want to remember years down the road.
I’m going to share with you a couple of pages that celebrate the “Everyday”:
My daughter loves to use FaceTime to connect with her cousins who she doesn’t see super often. As time goes on technology is going to change and the way we connect with people will change as well and I want to remember these moments, so I snapped a couple photos of her FaceTiming and created this page. Click here for credits.
My daughter has always loved to bake. On this “Life is Sweet” page I documented her excitement over a purchase of a cupcake stand. Not a big moment, but something that made me smile because she combined her love of baking and her love of photography!
This page from Erin called “Makes me Smile” does just that!
Selfies. We all take them, right? Laura created this page using some of the selfies her little guy took while riding in the car one day. What fun moments to showcase on a page!
Here’s a fun page by Rachel titled “Unique” where she scrapped some photos of her daughter making funny faces.
And finally, here’s a super fun page by Katie showcasing her kids playing in the water. I love pages of kids concentrating on the work of playing!
I hope these pages motivate you to document the everyday. I’m hosting an “Celebrate the EVERYDAY” challenge. Head on over to The Digital Press Challenge Forum for details!
