In her book, The Scrapbooker’s Almanac, Elizabeth Dillow brings together some of her greatest loves: scrapbooking, photography, and storytelling, along with her favorite people, ideas, and events in history. She uses a calendar as a scrapbooking tool to provide infinite inspiration for page topics, journaling jump-starts, and design approaches.

Check out “The Scrapbooker’s Almanac: The Feature Article” in our September/October 2008 issue for more inspiring ideas and layouts of never-before-scrapbooked special occasions that come around every September and October.

Citizenship Day
September 17

U.S. citizenship is a right we often take for granted, and Tina Cockburn wanted to be sure her adopted son Aiden knows the exact moment he became an American.

Take time this month to reflect upon all the benefits and responsibilities citizenship affords you.
