Here’s a quick explanation of how Project 12 works:

Create a digital scrapbooking layout each month that highlights that month’s activities or experiences, then post it in our Project 12 in 2012 Gallery!

Go check out the Project 12, 2012 Gallery today! And when you put your layout up, don’t forget to head on over to the Project 12 in 2012 Forum and post a link to your page so everyone can check it out!

From our June Gallery:

I have an abundance of flowers from May through the end of August, and then it is over… over for another eight months! So is it any wonder that I would want to cherish every single bud (and bug)!

riet’s style is clean, and she uses a grid, which allows her to use a lot of photos while keeping everything clear and organized. And don’t you just love her title work?

From our July Gallery:

janicem used a warm orange-peach background to emphasize the heat wave that they have been experiencing. The great title work and the warm colors drew me in for a closer look. She put her journaling in a column, which makes it easy to read and also makes it become a page element in itself.

Thanks to everyone who uploaded their pages — great work!

If you’re new to the digital scrapbooking scene, Project 12 could be a great way to get motivated to start learning and practice your skills. And, especially if you are new to digital scrapbooking — be sure to check out our Learn Digital Scrapbooking class to get a solid foundation in the basics!

Note: We think you’ll like the way the Project 12, 2012 Gallery is set up this year! Unlike the old 2011 Project 12 Gallery, each month in the new Project 12, 2012 Gallery will get its own category. That way, you can find all the pages about January in one spot, and it will be the same for February and so on as the year continues.

So, when you upload your pages this year, be sure to choose the right category — each page should go in the category for the month that you’re scrapping about on your page, not the month that you finally finished creating the page itself.

Please post your layouts for July in the July Gallery – Project 12 in 2012. Have fun and we hope to see you there!
