Each Monday, I will challenge you to come up with a page or project based on the prompt I provide. In the comments, describe what you would include on your page and why. Or better yet, create a page/project and post a link. (Here’s a post about how to share links from Studio.)
Here is the piece that my page will be about:

Do you have food traditions in your family? A recipe handed down through generations? A food one person in your family is famous for? Do you have the same dinner every Easter? Get the whole family together for a big Sunday dinner every week?
Make sure those traditions are preserved, even if they cease to be observed. Create a scrapbook page, cookbook or recipes on a deck of cards. And don’t forget to share a link to what you have created.
I don’t have an inspiration piece ready for this one, so I’ll be playing along with you and will post my link in the comments.

Your first StoryFirst challenge is to create a page or project about reading. It can be for you, your spouse, your child, whoever you choose. Some ideas:
As long as it pertains to reading and tells us something about the person the page is about, the sky is the limit.
Here is a page I made for my 3-year-old son. By the end of the week, I hope to have something done for my 5-year-old daughter.The text on this page reads:
Connor has finally fallen in love with books. These are a few of his favorites. Nothing beats “Go, Dog, Go!” We read it every night and he has most of it memorized.

Most people who scrapbook — me included — start with the photos. We might group the pictures from a trip to the zoo onto two pages and add some cute animal stickers. Hopefully we are all remembering to include information like the date, place and people pictures. Some go a step further to add a some journaling about something special or funny that happened during that trip.
But we also must record the moments and memories that are NOT prompted by photos.
Some ways to do that:
Each Monday, I will post a story prompt or idea that is important to record for posterity and challenge you to come up with a response. You can post just the words in the comments or link to a low-res copy of something you created in Studio. (I’ll post a tutorial soon about how to download and then upload pages from Studio for sharing.)
