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. Nevertheless, British strategy within the early battle included pursuit of a negotiated settlement, and so officials declined to attempt or cling them, the usual process for treason, to avoid unnecessarily risking any public sympathy the British might still take pleasure in.

  4. My programmer is trying to convince me to move to .net
    from PHP. I have always disliked the idea because of the costs.
    But he’s tryiong none the less. I’ve been using WordPress on numerous websites for about a year and
    am worried about switching to another platform. I have heard good things
    about blogengine.net. Is there a way I can import all my wordpress posts into it?
    Any kind of help would be really appreciated!

  5. First off I would like to say superb blog! I had a quick
    question which I’d like to ask if you do not mind. I was interested to find out how you center yourself and clear your thoughts before
    writing. I’ve had a tough time clearing my
    mind in getting my thoughts out. I do enjoy
    writing but it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are usually wasted just
    trying to figure out how to begin. Any ideas or tips?
    Thanks!

  6. Helpful information. Fortunate me I discovered your web site accidentally, and I am shocked
    why this accident didn’t happened in advance! I bookmarked it.

  7. I simply could not depart your site prior to
    suggesting that I actually enjoyed the standard information an individual supply
    for your guests? Is going to be back frequently in order to check up on new posts

  8. I’m amazed, I must say. Seldom do I encounter a blog that’s equally educative and interesting, and without a doubt,
    you’ve hit the nail on the head. The issue is an issue that not enough people are speaking intelligently about.
    I’m very happy that I came across this during my hunt for something concerning
    this.

  9. You actually make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this matter to be really something that I think I would never understand.
    It seems too complex and extremely broad for me.
    I’m looking forward for your next post, I’ll try to get the hang of
    it!

  10. Everything is very open with a precise clarification of the challenges.
    It was definitely informative. Your site is useful.

  11. Hello would you mind stating which blog platform you’re using?
    I’m going to start my own blog in the near future
    but I’m having a tough time selecting between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal.

    The reason I ask is because your design and style seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for something unique.
    P.S Sorry for getting off-topic but I had to ask!

  15. Today, I went to the beachfront with my children. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4
    year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She placed the
    shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear.
    She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is entirely off topic but I had to tell someone!
