Day In The Life: August 19, 2017


I’m swimming in projects and I wanted a very fast and simple way to document the photos I captured for August’s Day In The Life. This is only my second time doing this project and I really loved taking photos every hour and writing a few words about what was going on. It will be fun to look back on what we were doing years from now.

Since Aug-19 was a Saturday, I had a more interesting day (compared to many hours of work). Also since my daughter and I had just returned from France that week, our routine was a bit off — especially the timing of our day. I don’t normally start my day before 5 am and end before 10 pm!

I loved creating my own traveler’s notebook a few months ago for the previous Day In The Life, but that was going to take more time and I really wanted something I could finish in an afternoon. I decided to add the photos in a page protector in my regular Project Life album. I used these minimal and modern photo templates from paislee press to create 18 trading card-sized photos to slip into a 9-pocket 8.5 x 11″ page protector.

I didn’t actually have a 9-pocket 8.5 x 11″ page protector but I did have  a blank 8.5 x 11″ page protector and a Fuse tool so I was able to create my own. 🙂

I stuck to using only 3 of the photo templates in the collection and alternated between the square photos and full photos. I added brief text to tell what was happening that hour.

After printing and cutting, I slipped the photos into the page protector and it was done, only a few hours later!

Do you document your Day In The Life? What are your easy and fast ways to get the project done? I’d love to hear.

  2. I’m really enjoying the design and layout of your blog.

    It’s a very easy on the eyes which makes it much more
    enjoyable for me to come here and visit more often. Did you hire out a designer to create your
    theme? Excellent work!

    Look forward to finding out about your web page again.

  6. First of all I would like to say excellent blog!
    I had a quick question that I’d like to ask if you do
    not mind. I was curious to find out how you center yourself
    and clear your thoughts before writing. I have had a hard time clearing my thoughts in getting
    my ideas out. I do enjoy writing however it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are generally wasted simply
    just trying to figure out how to begin. Any ideas or hints?
    Kudos!

    article. I want to read even more things about it!

  8. Hello! I know this is kind of off topic but I was wondering if you knew where I couldfind a captcha plugin for my comment form? I’m using the sameblog platform as yours and I’m having problems finding one?Thanks a lot!

    I do not realize who you might be however definitely you are going
    to a well-known blogger in case you aren’t already. Cheers!

  11. I have been surfing on-line more than three hours as of
    late, but I by no means discovered any attention-grabbing article like yours.
    It is beautiful price sufficient for me. In my view, if all site owners and bloggers made excellent content as you did, the
    net shall be much more helpful than ever before.
