Project Life | Week 5

I decided to join Ali Edwards in documenting "A Day in the Life" of our family. Since I am going digital this year and printing to a Shutterfly book, I can't do an "insert". So instead, I dedicated the right page to the Day in the Life and the left page is of our whole week. I think I had a harder time getting everything to flow because of this so I am not sure I will continue to do it this way. Ali Edwards suggested doing A Day in the Life once a month, the last day of the month and I like the idea but I may document it differently each month. I think one month I will just do a video of our day like I did last year. We'll see how it goes.

Since I was condensing our week into one page this week I made the title card the week in review card also. I also added a couple of QR codes to videos. 

For the right page, I used all photos from Jan. 31st and did a schedule of what our day looked like. I didn't really have a lot of other info to include because it was just a normal day, nothing too exciting. Sometimes I have a hard time thinking about average ordinary things to document that may be interesting to us in the years ahead.

One thing that was fun about this page is the top left photo of my daughter. For Christmas, Grandma got her several princess dresses, shoes and accessories. She also got a tea set. (Can we say spoiled? :) She loves dressing up in each of the outfits and having a tea party. After seeing a tutorial on making a composite photograph, I had the idea to do this photo of my daughter in four different princess dresses to make it look like she was having a tea party with all of the 'princesses'. It turned out really cute and I love it.

I used a lot of different items on my pages this week but you should be able to find all of them on my Pinterest board. And of course I am mainly using the Project Life Clementine Edition.

Project Life | Week 4

Finished week 3 and I am actually really pleased with it. This week I really loved using arrows, a freebie I found from Pixels & Co. I'm pretty sure I will be using those a lot this year. 

Also, last Tuesday I found this post where Margie listed many links to some great freebies that I picked up. Instead of listing the freebies and products I used on this post, I decided to try to get them all on my Pinterest board and share that link. So just about all of the products I used on my pages this week you can find here.

I used many Ali Edwards products, some from the Jessica Sprague class I took, a few freebies, and of course the Project Life Clementine Edition.

Project Life | Week 3

Wow this week did not come together easily for me at all. Part of it was probably the serious back and neck pain I was having all weekend, but it is so much better today. The other part of it was I had too many pictures I wanted to include and they were all different colors. Hard to find a way to make it all fit together. But I've learned it is better to just get it done than obsess over it because then I may not finish it at all.

I am using the Clementine edition of digital Project Life. I also have some Ali Edwards stamps in there and some Jessica Sprague stuff from the class I took. And actually a couple other things.

Project Life | Week 2

Woo hoo! I've found my groove and I've already completed Week 2 on Sunday afternoon. This past week I took Jessica Sprague's class Digital Project Life and I loved it. Although I knew most of the stuff already, I learned plenty of great tips and tricks. Part of the class was also getting a font in your own handwriting which I was super excited about. So on the bottom right orange card on the left page and the top left card of the right page is my handwriting font. I think that it is so neat that although I'm going digital this year, I can still have my handwriting on the pages.

On this page I scanned a painting Hunter had done and placed it on the page.

This page I included screen shots of a news site and email I recieved from my son's school about a lockdown they went through on Friday, a little bit scary but all turned out okay. Don't like days like that though, hopefully there will be no more in our future.

I mostly used the Project Life Clementine Edition to complete these pages. There are also a few elements that I got from Jessica Sprague's class and the a couple items from Designer Digitals.

Have a great week!
