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!

  2. Thanks for the suggestions you have provided here. Something else I would like to say is that computer system memory requirements generally increase along with other breakthroughs in the engineering. For instance, when new generations of processor chips are made in the market, there is usually a corresponding increase in the scale demands of both the computer system memory and also hard drive space. This is because the software program operated through these processors will inevitably rise in power to make use of the new technological know-how.

  13. Good article. It is extremely unfortunate that over the last ten years, the travel industry has already been able to to handle terrorism, SARS, tsunamis, influenza, swine flu, as well as first ever entire global tough economy. Through all this the industry has proven to be powerful, resilient and dynamic, discovering new ways to deal with adversity. There are usually fresh complications and the opportunity to which the marketplace must just as before adapt and reply.

  16. Thanks for the strategies you write about through this site. In addition, lots of young women that become pregnant do not even try to get medical insurance because they have anxiety they probably would not qualify. Although many states at this moment require that insurers provide coverage irrespective of the pre-existing conditions. Prices on these kind of guaranteed options are usually larger, but when thinking about the high cost of medical care bills it may be any safer route to take to protect your current financial potential.

  24. The things i have seen in terms of laptop or computer memory is there are specific features such as SDRAM, DDR etc, that must fit in with the technical specs of the motherboard. If the personal computer’s motherboard is rather current while there are no operating system issues, replacing the storage space literally will take under sixty minutes. It’s one of several easiest computer upgrade processes one can picture. Thanks for discussing your ideas.

In order to realize your aspirations in fixing your credit rating you have to ascertain that from this second you pay your complete monthly fees promptly before their booked date. It is definitely significant on the grounds that by certainly not accomplishing this, all other actions that you will choose to use to improve your credit positioning will not be useful. Thanks for giving your strategies.

    page layout of your site? Its very well written; I love what youve
    got to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better.
    Youve got an awful lot of text for only having 1 or two images.

    Maybe you could space it out better?

  48. Yet another thing I would like to state is that as an alternative to trying to accommodate all your online degree courses on days of the week that you end work (as most people are drained when they get back), try to receive most of your lessons on the saturdays and sundays and only a couple courses on weekdays, even if it means a little time away from your saturday and sunday. This is really good because on the weekends, you will be much more rested in addition to concentrated in school work. Thanks a lot for the different ideas I have discovered from your blog.
