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.

  4. Have you ever thought about including a little bit more
    than just your articles? I mean, what you say is fundamental and all.
    However just imagine if you added some great graphics or video clips to give your posts more, “pop”!
    Your content is excellent but with images and clips,
    this site could certainly be one of the very best in its niche.

    Good blog!

  6. Hi there! I know this is kind of off topic but I was wondering which
    blog platform are you using for this website?

    I’m getting fed up of WordPress because I’ve had problems with hackers and I’m looking at options for another platform.
    I would be awesome if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.

  7. I was wondering if you ever thought of changing the 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 2 images.
    Maybe you could space it out better?

  9. I think that everything said was very reasonable. However, what about
    this? suppose you typed a catchier title? I mean, I don’t
    wish to tell you how to run your website, but suppose you added something to possibly grab folk’s attention? I mean Day In The Life:
    August 19, 2017 – Circle + Arrow is kinda vanilla.
    You ought to look at Yahoo’s home page and watch how they create
    news titles to get viewers interested. You might add a related video or
    a picture or two to get readers interested about what you’ve written. Just my opinion, it would make your posts
    a little bit more interesting.

  16. After I originally commented I appear to have clicked on the -Notify me when new comments are
    added- checkbox and from now on every time a comment is added I get 4 emails with the exact same comment.
    Is there a means you can remove me from that service?
    Thanks a lot!

  19. A motivating discussion is definitely worth comment. I think that you ought to write
    more about this subject, it might not be a taboo subject
    but generally folks don’t discuss these topics. To the next!

    Best wishes!!

    Would you be interested in exchanging links or maybe guest authoring a blog post or
    vice-versa? My website goes over a lot of the
    same subjects as yours and I think we could greatly benefit from each other.

    the way!
