This week we are hoping to inspire you to take a starring role in your scrapbooks. And while you can scrapbook yourself without photos, we would love for you to turn the camera on yourself as well. So for our
we thought maybe you needed a lovely reminder to photograph your lovely selves. And what better reminder than a colorful beautiful camera strap cover.
Each time you hold your camera and see how happy the strap cover makes you, you can now remember to take your own photo and see how happy it makes you, too!
Fortunately, our very own Melissa Kaiserman is as handy with a sewing machine as she is with a trimmer! Melissa creates reversible DSLR camera strap covers with matching rosettes. And she has kindly offered three for our giveaway today.
Each camera strap cover is 22” long, and is guaranteed to make you smile for more than just that self-portrait. And that darling rosette? It is removable so that you may clip it onto your lapel, or a headband for your headshot. Or you may add it to your purse or a hat if you are going for a full body shot!!
Marnie received one of Melissa's camera straps for Christmas and loves how it readily identifies her camera when in a room full of phototaking moms. It also really does make her smile as the happy colors are a reminder that photography is fun. (Though, we apparently need to work on her understanding that it is also supposed to inspire self-portraits as her headshot is very outdated! ahem...)
If you haven't stopped by Melissa's blog, A Time for Everything, lately, please do. Melissa has suggestions for organizing, repurposing, and of course, scrapbooking. And as if that wasn't enough, she sells not only her delightful camera strap covers, but also camera wrist straps, and designer burp cloth sets in her shop. And in March she will be debuting her envelope system wallets made of laminated cotton that are sure to please, so be sure to remember to check back in a couple of weeks!
And because more than 3 of you are going to want one of Melissa's camera straps, she has kindly offered a discount for all of you!!

Scrapbook. in the "Note to Seller" during the checkout process.
If you would like to be considered for one of these colorful happy and inspiring camera straps, please leave us a comment with a promise to take a photograph of yourself within the next 24 hours. If you could also leave us a suggestion for a journaling prompt for a self portrait photograph, then none of us will have any excuse for not getting in a page. Thank you for your help!
