December 2020 - Forged Photo Prompts! Day 23

Welcome to the most wonderful time of the year!

This December our CKC Master Forger Design Team members will be providing a simple one word daily photo prompt, easy-peasy in this busy month. In the spirit of counterfeiting a kit, we are twisting the photo prompt into a scavenger hunt! The object is to take a quick peek through your camera roll for a photo that satisfies the prompt. A side benefit is perhaps training ourselves to see more in the photos than the obvious people, places or things.

This is not intended to be a crafting project, just a compilation of photos throughout the month. How many times do you look at someone's project and marvel at the unorthodox story that they pulled from their photo(s)? Our documented images speak to us on so many levels. Leslie has a friend who is currently scrapping 20-25 year old photos. Memories sparked by small details in the photos keep surfacing that tell much more complex stories than the mere images.

We'd love it if you would post your choice of photo on the Facebook Community with the number of the prompt.

If you wish to use the prompts for new photos of course you can go right ahead! If you decide to make a physical project please share! If you haven't documented your Covid journey you could use that angle as you collect your photos. Or perhaps think of it as a "2020 Highlight Reel."

A Master Forger will be showing you their own photo each day & giving you any ideas they've thought of on what you might hunt for. We all hope that you have a lovely December!

 

Master Forger Lisa is up for today with Prompt #23: Smell!

 

 

My photo today just had to be that nose. One of the best noses in the canine world and one that delights me every day. Not to mention that puppy dog smell that she has when we cuddle. 

For our photo challenge this month, I really did limit myself to my camera roll on my phone and because I have been taking photos of Mabel almost exclusively since she arrived, my photo choices for the prompts were quite limited. But I don't care because my memory keeping for 2020 will of course be rather Mabel heavy. 

So much to say about this photo. There's definitely a page in the making. I'm guessing that she was sleeping when I took this as she doesn't sit still long enough for such a close up when she's awake. And we love watching her when she's dreaming with the little tongue sticking out and the nose twitching away as if she's on a rabbit trail or even something more exciting! We can't help it - we are totally and completely smitten!

 

Happy hunting! Don't forget to post yours on the Facebook Community page with a #23! 

And come back tomorrow for another quick prompt.
