Great idea ... and I like your "Year in Scraps" name!
June ... is Dairy Month! So how about a cow!
July ... For Americans, wouldn't you do RW+B for the 4th of July? ... or if you didn't want that, perhaps at the beach?
August ... corn on the cob
November ... American Thanksgiving, so a Turkey; In Canada, poppies for Remembrance Day (not sure about USA?)
