Have you ever participated in trying to capture your life as it unfolds over one week? I did this a year or two ago and recently joined Ali in her recent Week in the Life project and wanted to share my pages. Currently I only have the digital versions to share as I'm having problems uploading the Costco site as I mentioned yesterday. I DO have my Epson R1800 working (YAHHOOOOO!!)) but I need to take my MacBook Pro into one of the Apple Genuises because anytime I'm not plugged in my battery dies (and the computer completely shuts off without warning within 10 minutes) and my printer is not nearby any additional outlets to plug into.
My process was a simple one in that I created a template to use for each of the parts that I wanted to include. Each day has a main spread (each of my single pages were 5x7), and accompanying smaller pages that will get bound right in between the main spread. The smaller pages include the journaling as well as extra photos that I wanted to include, and also info about the foods that I ate (this little 3x4 piece will be backed with a similarly sized photo).
I will share photos as soon as I get it assembled too but here's a first glimpse.
MONDAY
main spread:
notes from today:
more from today (this will be on the back of the card above in the final product and is a chance to include more journaling as well as an additional photo if I have it):
on the menu (in the assembled album there will be a photo on the back... except for Wed and Sun where I didn't have enough photos. For these days I will use patterned paper and embellishments to finish it off):
