Last week, I used the Take Twelve Challenge from Ella Publishing to document one of my last days as a stay-at-home mom. I actually found it challenging to get 12 unique photos of our day. I made a digital layout using My Digital Studio from Stampin' Up!, some digital elements from One Little Bird Designs, and some digital stamps from Ali Edwards/Designer Digitals. I edited the photos in Pic Monkey, which is my new go-to site for photo editing since Picnik is going away soon.
I thought about lining up the photos in a grid, but I went to the scattered look instead. I am thinking that all of the words and details will show up when I print this as a 12x12 page. For now, you can click on the image for a larger view.
Participating in memory keeping projects reminds me to take more pictures of our daily lives. Next week Ali Edwards is putting together her Week in the Life project. I enjoyed participating last July, but I do not know if I will be up for it with my new job starting. (I will probably decide on Sunday evening.) Eventually, Week in the Life would make a good Shutterfly photobook. You can get a free 8x8 book through May 21st with this promotion.

I also like the "scattered" look. Going back to work--that's big! Good luck.
This turned out really cute. I like the scattered look too. You did a nice job with it. It's not easy to pull off! I'm thinking about doing WITL as well. Maybe you could just do one or two days if you don't think you want to/could do the entire seven days. It's fun to participate while "everyone" else is doing it too.
I also like the scattered look.
I also was thinking about Week in the Life. It is freshman registration nexst week, so we will see how that goes.
