A photo a day – Instagram-style

I think that as scrappers, we are all pretty drawn to the idea of having a photo a day to document our lives! What’s harder is keeping up with that. I’ve started Project 365 and December Daily several years, but always struggle with keeping up with it. In fact, I didn’t even try Project 365 this year, because I knew I wouldn’t be able to keep up! But when I ran across FatMumSlim’s Photo A Day prompts, I couldn’t resist. Here is the April Photo a Day list.

Isn’t that fun! I’ve been playing along starting this month, and I love love love having prompts, because it means I don’t need to come up with something. Also, I don’t have the problem of thinking “there’s nothing interesting happening today.” I also love that it’s via Instagram, because I always have my iPod with me. Hope you guys play along!

I’m a creative who pulls inspiration from all corners of life—both the joyful highs and the real-life moments that punch you in the gut. Honestly, I don’t think I can pin down a single scrapbooking style for myself, so let’s just go with eclectic. My layouts really depend on my mindset. If I’m in a deep, cerebral mood, you’ll likely see something chaotic and messy. If I’m more relaxed, it tends to come out clean, simple, and structured.

My brain is usually running on several channels at once, so it’s completely normal for me to be working on a digital layout, dabbling in a hybrid project, and getting messy with art journaling or mixed media—all at the same time.

Here are a few of my go-to tools: Digital: Adobe Photoshop CC + my MacBook; Photos: Canon Rebel or iPhone; Hybrid: Cricut Joy + sewing machine; Art Journaling: watercolors, stencils, and artsticks

And when it comes to embellishments—digital or physical—I’m always reaching for messy threads, ribbons, and Polaroids. Always the Polaroids.
