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.

  10. I’m really loving the theme/design of your weblog. Do you ever run into any browser
    compatibility problems? A couple of my blog readers have complained about my website not working correctly in Explorer but looks great in Chrome.
    Do you have any advice to help fix this problem?

  21. Hello this is kinda of off topic but I was wondering if blogs use WYSIWYG
    editors or if you have to manually code with HTML. I’m starting a blog soon but have no coding know-how so I wanted to get advice
    from someone with experience. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  23. Definitely consider that that you said. Your
    favourite justification seemed to be at the web the simplest thing to take note
    of. I say to you, I certainly get annoyed whilst other people consider worries that they plainly
    don’t recognise about. You managed to hit the nail upon the highest as smartly as defined out the whole thing without having side-effects , other folks
    could take a signal. Will likely be back to get more.
    Thanks

  49. With havin so much written content do you ever run into any problems of
    plagorism or copyright violation? My site has a lot of completely unique content I’ve either authored myself or outsourced but it seems a lot of it is popping it
    up all over the web without my agreement. Do you know any ways to help prevent content from being ripped off?
    I’d certainly appreciate it.
