2022-ABC 123 by Marisa Lerin

Welcome back to a new bi-monthly LC ABC & 123 running thru the alphabet and the numbers in 2022.
I must confess that I haven't completely wrapped up ast years' ABC Album but I am in the last throws of it. How about you? Have you finished the 2021 ABC Album. It would be lovely to hear about how your project graduated onto the shelf as a printed book.

This challenge aims at creating an A-Z All About Album for you within the maximum frame of 52 weeks. That can be many things, for example: All About You, All About Myself, All About Our Travels, All About Faith, All About Our Wedding, All About Music, All About Our Life, All About Colors (cool color names like Aquasonic Blue for A or Brightlipstickred for B, Chinadove and Devonshiregreen ) etc.

As an alternative we also include 1,2,3 for any project that tickles your fancy and maybe a less formal approach than the orderly ABC. I am going with 1,2,3 this time since I played the ABC last year. And I immediately see that 1,2,3 is less restrictive than A,B,C.

So once you decide on your album topic and title (for example: All About My Family or All About My Mother etc.), you just add one or more new layouts every two weeks and find your own match starting with that letter. Share your creation here with us and pls link to your gallery when you share. Also let us know your topic and title.

So this challenge will run from A to Z and 1 to 26 and offer 1 letter/number challenge every 2 weeks. We keep both challenges live thru the entire month so that you do not need to think about 2 smaller time slots. There will be just one. The second challenge starting in the middle of the month will only be live for 2 weeks. But since the next challenge will definitely be the letter B and Number Two and will start in two weeks you have the option of planning or starting on more letters or numbers now and just post them when the challenges come up.

Including many fantastic ideas from the challenge ideas thread this way all lc challenge mods are looking forward to your feedback. I like albums - a few of mine are here - and after sticking with me for a whole year of the All About ABC throughout 2020/2021 I want to say thank you by enabling more album making.

Two examples:
1.The album is called All About My Garden. The first page could be about Annuals, these are plants that bloom, seed, and die in one year. It could also be about Azaleas for example. B could be about bees.
2.The album is called All About Myself. The first page could be titled Art. B could be about the beach or about a brother for example.

So this is round 1/26 (Jan1st to 15th 2022) and the challenge is to find an album idea and topic and to pick your own alpha or number match and start the first round with the letter A or the number 1.

It is totally up to you if you want to write Arabic numbers or number words like one, two, three.

Feel free to use any size, hybrid or digital.

Find great lists here.

I have settled for more of a mag style 1,2,3 art journal spread for this album.

Of course you can find a great selection of wonderful templates for this use in the store. Here are some of my faves:

Love these by Janet:

An album is perfect for the use of dashboards and journo kits:
