Scrap Your Day by Shimelle (preview)

**scrappybunny** · 15-04-2008, 12:22 AM

this fabulous project by Shimelle is being launched as part of our precybercrop classes, but its not just for cybercroppers, its for everyone

More details will be posted on Monday 21st, but if you'd like a kit or to find out a bit more, then just read on...

Ever wished the cybercrop lasted all year? Now it can. The Oscars cybercrop brings you a project that starts this April and keeps right on going, but don't worry...it won't be too much work! For the next twelve months, the 25th will be an official 'Scrap Your Day' day here at UKS. On the 25th of the month, we'll all pick up our cameras and snap the things we see, and this book gives us a place to put those photos and write down the details.

Tomorrow (Tuesday 15th) at 7am, you'll be able to buy this Scrap Your Day kit from shimelle.com. The kit includes one 7x15 spiral bound calendar album by Making Memories and thirteen sheets of 6x12 patterned paper by American Crafts, Sassafras Lass and Crate Paper (designs as shown below).

When you purchase the kit, you'll also receive a PDF file illustrating the quick construction of this album -- it makes the 6x12 papers make sense and it will mean that keeping your book going is just a matter of adding photos and a few notes each month rather than reinventing the wheel.

The kit costs £10 plus £2 postage and packing and will be sent to you via First Class post.

To this basic kit, you'll add a few elements from your own stash to customise the look. You'll need a set of letter stamps and a black ink pad (or any other lettering option you love), scraps of cardstock and a few of your favourite embellishments like flowers or ribbons.

If you want to take part but use all of your own stash, just sit tight, and you can still join us. The Scrap Your Day project will have monthly prompts, tips and illustrations that are free for all members of UKS, including suggestions for making your own book that would be suitable for the project.

So, check out Shimelle.com tomorrow if you'd like to buy your kit, then check back here on the 21st for more details

Completely missed this going on. Will the PDF be available to those that haven't bought the kit?

**scrappybunny** · 15-04-2008, 12:27 PM

yes

the kit isnt necessary for this class

Sea78 · 15-04-2008, 12:52 PM

Darn it!! Also missed out on the kit - think I am going to the book from the online sellers though. Can those who missed out do some preparation before hand too? Do we buy just the PDF? Sorry if I'm being dim!!

**scrappybunny** · 15-04-2008, 01:00 PM

Yes, certainly, the details will be available on Monday for making the actual book, thats the main part of the class. Then we all take photos every 25th (or whatever day is best for you) of the month to go into it

sounds like something even I can keep up with

Sea78 · 15-04-2008, 01:07 PM

Sounds brilliant! Really looking forward to it!

Really looking forward to it too! A nice little treat for my birthday ~ Shimelle's CC class starts! YAY!

And very, very, very luckily bagged the last kit too

Cannot wait to get started.

Really miffed only just seen this and the kits are all sold out, i know that you can use your own stash but I do so like it when its all there for you. mind you I am so behind with shimelles "No place like home", that perhaps its just as well.

Sounds good. I just wandered off to purchase the MM calendar, but have restrained myself for once. I have more than enough stash and calendar themed items that I can use. I look forward to it starting. The kits did look lovely though.

Citrine · 15-04-2008, 02:57 PM

Just noticed this on Shimelles site. Must of sold out really quickly!Will watch for further details.

Does anyone else sell the scalloped calendars. I know I could make one with my BIA but I'm lazy. LOL

liberty · 15-04-2008, 05:16 PM
