Day In The Life: June 20, 2017


I’ve followed along during Day In The Life and Week In The Life previously, but have never done either project. It always looked fun but I’m usually already stretching myself thin across several projects. But when I thought about it this year, I kind of wished I had captured a typical day last year because I know life looks pretty different now.


So this year, I decided to participate and captured a few photos every hour on June 20th. It was fun! Coincidentally, I happened to be taking a mini book class at Studio Calico that was being done in a Traveler’s Notebook format and figured I could use the class ideas for making this album.

I started by creating my custom traveler’s notebook insert. The general template is from the mini book class. I used various pieces of paper (kraft, vellum, plain white copy) and sandwiched a cut-up page protector and tag inside as well.

To begin, I went through all my photos from the day, minimally edited them, and resized them according to the pages they’d be on.

I did a combination of handwritten and typed journaling and like seeing the variety. Embellishments were kept simple with a combination of labels, stamps, and washi/pattern paper. I stuck to flat items since this book is already thick!

To indicate the time of day, I typed up the times on the computer, printed and cut them out, and adhered them onto each photo or page.

Here’s a look at the pages in detail.

The cover was kept simple with some stamping, washi, and a label. That heart puffy sticker is the only non-flat embellishment I used!

The first page opens up to the date, stamped a few times.

The first few pages document my waking up early (and the baby as well), getting ready for work, and the first couple hours at my job.

The pocket page sandwiched in the book makes for some nice overlapped pages.

For an interactive element, I created a fold-out page to document some time at work. I attached a tab that says, “work hard” on one side and “play hard” on the other.

The tag I sandwiched in between the pages makes a fun flap to stick some journaling and a photo on.

I added a pocket to hold a tag with the sweet photo of my daughter and I running back home from daycare.

The final pages are a mix of different sized pages and photos documenting the evening.

I love how this chunky little book turned out and I’m pretty sure I’ll do this project again!

  1. Hello There. I found your blog using msn. This is an extremely well written article.I will make sure to bookmark it and come back to read more of your useful information. Thanks for the post.I will certainly comeback.

  2. I’ve been browsing online more than 3 hours today,
    yet I never found any interesting article like
    yours. It’s pretty worth enough for me. Personally, if all web
    owners and bloggers made good content as you did, the internet will be much
    more useful than ever before.

  3. I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my own blog
    and was curious what all is needed to get set up? I’m assuming having a blog
    like yours would cost a pretty penny? I’m not very internet
    smart so I’m not 100% positive. Any recommendations or advice would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you

  4. Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally, it seems as
    though you relied on the video to make your point. You obviously know what youre talking about, why throw away your intelligence
    on just posting videos to your weblog when you could be giving
    us something enlightening to read?

  5. Hey! Someone in my Myspace group shared this
    website with us so I came to give it a look. I’m definitely enjoying

  7. Can I simply just say what a comfort to find somebody
    that truly knows what they’re talking about online.
    You definitely realize how to bring an issue
    to light and make it important. More and more people really need to look at this and understand this side of the story.
    I was surprised that you are not more popular since you surely
    have the gift.

    You have some really good posts and I think I would be a

    to mine. Please shoot me an e-mail if interested.
    Thank you!
