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.

  1. naturally like your web-site however you have to take a look at the
    spelling on quite a few of your posts. Many of them are rife with
    spelling issues and I to find it very troublesome to tell the reality however I will certainly come back again.

  2. Hello! I realize this is kind of off-topic but I
    had to ask. Does managing a well-established blog such
    as yours require a massive amount work? I’m completely new to running a blog however I
    do write in my journal everyday. I’d like to start
    a blog so I can share my personal experience and feelings online.

    bloggers. Thankyou!

  4. Have you ever thought about adding a little bit more than just
    your articles? I mean, what you say is valuable and everything.
    Nevertheless imagine if you added some great visuals or videos to give your posts
    more, “pop”! Your content is excellent but with images
    and video clips, this blog could undeniably be one of the most beneficial in its field.
    Awesome blog!

  6. I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my own blog
    and was wondering what all is required to get set up?

    I’m assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny?
    I’m not very web smart so I’m not 100% certain. Any
    recommendations or advice would be greatly appreciated.
