So many ways to capture a year! Here's a new and fun idea....Take 12: On the twelfth of each month take 12 pictures of your everyday life, make a 2 page layout, add journaling and by the twelfth (approximately) of Dec. you'll have a scrapbook about the year. You can have a particular theme or a color or a word for each month...the possibilities are endless. Stop back tomorrow to see my photos. I'm going with a day in my life. p.s. if you miss the date of the 12th I give you permission to take 12 pictures on any day of the month you choose or use your top 12 pictures of the month. Please share and most of all have fun. Don't make it an obligation....it's an opportunity.

Here are my layouts! If you click on them you can see them full size. I hope they bring you some cheer. If you have questions about Studio J visit my CTMH website or contact me. If you sometimes battle depression, you are not alone. Help and encouragement are available. Here's an article from suite ...
