    I’ve been contemplating participating in the “One Little Word” year long project…. The year long with one word did kinda intimidated me. So, my compromise…. Create a year long album that focuses in each MPM theme per month. I plan to Journal and/or create scrapbook layouts that center around each month.

    who wants to join me?

    here’s my first double page TN layout with the Janurary 2023 MPM “Emerge”

    What a fun idea! I have never picked one word for a whole year so 12 words sounds much better to me.

    I'm in! I love the idea of focusing on a word each month. Previously I tried OWL but kept getting bored and never made it past 6 months (even less most years). So, your take is brilliant in my mind. I think I'll combine it with my P52. Hmmmm, 4 words for January. Maybe something like this?
    Week 1: Self Portrait (because we need at least one per year and what better way to see where we started on this journey)
    Week 2: Beginning
    Week 3: Rising
    Week 4: New

    It’s so much fun!! You take one picture per week on anything that speaks to you about the prompt. The goal is by the end of the year, you have taken 52 photos. They can be a literal interpretation or a more abstract one - or a mix of both. It’s a blast without the pressure of a Project 365. My photography skills improve, but honestly it’s just plain fun being creative :). I usually follow someone else’s prompts, but this year I think I’ll base them off the MPM collections. I’d love to get a group going and share our photos!

    Love this idea! I have also tried OLW a few times and didn’t make it through more than four or five month each time. I’d love to join in!

    So excited that we are going to have a group of us doing this. Feel free to share your layouts using MPM in this thread and then each month we can start a new thread to share our layouts with each other!!!!

    I just completed this for my TN Album cover page using Emerge and some of the add-ons.

    It's a great idea. I don't know what mine will look like, but I am keen to play along.

    Such an excellent idea! I've been hesitating to do one word this year because I think so many things could change in 12 months, so this would be a great alternative. I don't know if I could commit to the whole 12 months but I'd love to try!

    I hadn’t heard of Pro 52 being 1 pic a week. I’ve been doing it for 7 years now and it’s been that I scrap each WEEK, yielding a book of 52 - 104 pages depending on how many pictures I take a week.

    I like your idea of it!!! Much easier!
