I know I start all the threads pointing out that after 10 years, I've done pretty much everything scrapbookingly speaking...

and even when I donīt have a AAM album per se (need to catch up on the other albums, so I donīt have energy for another one) I do slip some AAM pages in the albums.

The thing is there are two prompts that come back in every AAM challenge: bio (who you are, where you live) and why or how do you start scrapbooking... And I have to confess that I have like 6 of each... LOL :unsure:

So... as my late 2016 scrapping resolution I would love to make more AAM pages. And for that would be great to have everyday prompts.

Any advice? Would you be so kind to share some of your AAM LOs? Your favorite prompts? Anything you would like to see in the BINGO card?

Ohmygosh I have GOBS of AAM pages, but they aren't necessarily question/answer format. They're just things that are about me. Basically, if the journaling is written in first-person point of view, I consider it about me. They are usually things that don't involve my kids and husband OR it's about how I personally feel about them.

Some things I've scrapped about myself
*hanging out with my girlfriends
*my favorite recipes
*my currently... reading/eating/watching/listening to/thinking about
*relationship with my husband
*what I did with my day
*my goals (big & small)
*pics and routes of where I walk
*something that made me laugh REALLLLLY hard
*screen shots of texts with friends

2010's portfolios featured 5 aam prompts each month. I can go pull them up if you like.

I do a lot of AAM pages but I rarely use prompts. Instead I like to use kits to inspire me to tell pieces of my story. For example, a fall kit might mean a layout about my favorite things about fall, how I never understood fall until we moved to a four season location, what fall was like growing up, etc.

Prompts can be great too but I find they can quickly feel like a chore which is why I like to tell the stories I'm inspired by in the moment instead.
