Hey everyone! I hope December is treating you well! Unfortunately December has sapped all of my mojo so I don't actually have a sample layout for you today But I do have a prompt! And I will work on my page this week if I can. I just had this idea this morning in bed I'm posting this a little early to take advantage of this very cool day: 12/12/2012! Let's take inspiration from the number 12 . . . . You could journal a list of 12 things . . . .things you hate, things you love, goals for next year, etc. Think of phrases and expressions . . . . Cheaper by the Dozen, Dirty Dozen, A Baker's Dozen, When the Clock Strikes '12 . . . Think of the holidays and the 12 Days of Christmas 12 is a magical number that often pops up in mythology or religion . . . 12 apostles of Jesus 12 Greek Olympian Gods 12 signs in the zodiac Other random 12 factoids . . . 12 knights of the round table 12 face cards in a deck 12 step programs (think AA, etc.) 12 months in a year I'm sure I'm missing a lot of obvious ones. The number 12 is everywhere! Just take that as a general theme and run with it OR, if you're like me and suffering from End-Of-Year-Mojo-Loss you could skip this prompt all together and just post a note here to let me know I'm not the only one Happy holidays! _________________________________ If the theme or a quote or a question or anything about this post inspires you to create something, we'd love for you to share it with us! It can take any shape or form - there are no rules here! No deadlines either. Just post it in the Art Journal gallery and link us up here so we can all be inspired by your lovely work. Happy journaling!
Fabulous prompt! That was yesterday for we Aussies - and did I have my camera? No. Did I have my phone (with camera)? No. AAAAAARGH.
Christmas is not a big traditional festivity in Singapore. So I am clueless in doing an art journal about it. But I had come up with this instead. 12 days of Christmas Doesn’t mean it is Cheaper by the Dozen. But it is superb to have The Baker’s Dozen For breakfast everyday. When the Clock Strikes 12, You’ll witness the gathering of the 12 Apostles of Jesus, 12 Greek Olympian Gods & the 12 Knights of the Round Table Trying to memorize the 12 face cards in the deck in the 12-step Program within 12 months in a year With the help of the 12 Signs in the Zodiac.
^^^ That, right there, is FUNNY!!! ^^^ My mojo is gone. December Daily/Document December etc. is dead. My seasonal depression killed it. I just don't feel like it. My tree isn't even fully decorated yet. Ugh! I'm trying to suck-it-up and be a good sport (for the children)... but I don't wanna!!
Initially, I had no idea on doing this mussing. But after coming with that "'verse", a bulb just lit up. And this is what I came up with. I am so loving the pockets !!!!
what a creative approach! Mine is more mundane, and I haven't scrapped it yet, but we did bake Christmas cookies on the 12th and I even managed to take some photos lol--usually I forget until it is too late. So here is mine: 12 favorite homemade Christmas treats cinnamon popcorn white chocolate peppermint bark Uncle Bob's secret chocolate fudge giant sugar cookies coconut macaroons with maraschino cherry on top kugel New York style cheesecake chocolate krinkles gingersnaps spritz (cookie press) cookies m & m cookies eggnog pie
