Hello everyone! Happy New Year, and welcome to 2019!
I am very excited to be hosting the very first IN FOCUS 2019 challenge this year! As the name suggests, IN FOCUS will be all about the photos -- and about putting the spotlight on some of the little everyday things that, when focused on and documented, help to paint a picture of what your life is/was like at that given time.
Read more about our year-long IN FOCUS 2019 photo-prompt project HERE.
This challenge is a "complementary" project to the IN FOCUS 2019 project... and this challenge will require participants to create a COVER PAGE for an IN FOCUS 2019 album that you'll be creating throughout 2019 using the 4 photo prompts that we will be supplying per month. Each month, the corresponding challenge over here in the CROSSWORD SECTION of our forum... will be to scrap the 4 photos from the previous month (so, for instance, February's challenge will be to scrap the 4 "January" photos that resulted from the 4 January photo prompts... March's challenge will be to scrap the 4 "February" photos... etc.).
Given this is the first month... the January challenge is simply to create a cover page for this album, as you don't yet have your January photos taken (the prompts go live each week on Mondays!).
There are a number of possibilities for this: you can create a photoless cover page... or use photos of your family from the previous year... or make a collage... or really anything that suits your style! It can be as simple or as complex as you like.
To give you an idea of what you can do... here is a look at what I made for my own cover page...

A quick recap of the rules for this challenge:
