September Photography Challenge

Hey there, pad scrappers!

Is anyone else like me, scrolling Instagram and always behind on these "special" days like international dog day, world siblings day, string cheese day, shoes without laces day (not sure that one's real), etc?! Who makes these things up and how does everyone else always have a picture ready to post!

Well, I have done some research so we will all be prepared for September. I have compiled a list of things to celebrate in September taken from nationaltoday.com (if you're interested). I purposefully did not choose actual holidays and I still don't know who started these, but here you go. Your photography challenge for this month is to scrap a photograph using one of the special days in September as your prompt. Let me tell you, there is something for everyone. You may even have trouble choosing just one!

Sept. 1 - World Letter Writing Day
Sept. 2 - World Coconut Day
Sept. 3 - National Lazy Moms Day (As if a mom would be able to celebrate this!)

Just to clarify, this is a photography prompt challenge. Scrap a photo using one of the days above as your prompt. You may have multiple photos on the page. You do not have to take the photo on the specific date, or even reference the special day on your page. But please do tell me which day you used when you post in this thread.

Here is my page. Inspired by September 5, International Day of Charity.


I hope you have fun with this one. Can't wait to see your pages!
