The 12 Challenge

Join us on the 12 Challenge. Its easy.

This challenge is based on the Stacey Jullian article and scrapbook from the January/Februrary, 2008 issue of Simple Scrapbooks. She took 12 photos on the 12th of every month of ordinary, everyday things and scrapbooked them.

We are taking the basic idea and running with it. Ronni did an amazing album called Ordinary Days, on the original idea (it is available in the store to check our and look through). She wanted to do another, but with a twist. Kari came up with the idea of having a theme each month. We brainstormed togther and came up with a bunch of themes which we are going to choose from each month.

Your Challenge:
  • Take about 12 photos on the 12th of the month based on the theme that we will post on the 1st of the month. We say about 12 photos, because it gives a great overview. Feel free to do as many as you wish (but preferably more than 5 to give some insight)
  • Scrapbook a layout each month with your photos - this can be any size you wish. You may want to make your own book like ronni did. ^You can bind it together when it is complete with the Bind It All system (coils, etc are available to purchase at the store, and Kari is available for a tutorial and help if you need it).
  • Journal about your photos - this can be any form you wish
  • Bring your book in to the store to show us (January, 2010)

Great Idea! Thanks for telling me about this Kari! Sounds like a really managable project for me...took some pic's of my messy space already ... now I have to clean and take some before I mess it up again!
