Take 12 in 2012 {GIVEAWAY}

I knew 2012 was going to be a great year, and it's certainly off to an exciting start! I've joined the Ella Publishing Team as an Ella Friend for 2012.

What's an Ella Friend, you ask? It's a team of 13 women -- scrapbookers, photographers and crafters -- who write articles and create projects for Ella's online magazine, blog and other publications.

If you aren't familiar with Ella Publishing, hop over and check them out! They're all about the clean and simple look, and they have some really cool eBooks, templates and other tools that make it easy to capture your memories -- from your everyday routine to special events and everything in-between. I'm so happy to be working with them!

To celebrate my new "friendship," I'm giving away a free 2012 Take Twelve Project Kit!

The goal of the 2012 Take Twelve Project is to take 12 photos on the 12th day of each month for a full 12 months—and scrapbook them! You can join in the fun any month of the year, but we hope you'll join in starting January 12. 

The kit includes ideas for what photos to take, as well as a variety of sketches you can use to create your 12 layouts. There are even journaling tags and calendars you can print and include on your page.

Or maybe you'll create a mini album that uses your 12 photos as a 4x6 photo collage. There are lots of ideas for that, too! 

Leave a comment below by 11:59 p.m. (Central) on Tuesday for your chance to win the 2012 Take Twelve Guided Inspiration Kit. I'll randomly select a winner on Wednesday afternoon. 

Good luck!
