Day in The Life | Finished Album


Today I'm sharing my Day in the Life album. I used pieces from the past AM/PM Story Kit from Ali Edwards (you can find out more information about the story kit subscription here), the Day in the Life kit (here) and Kellie Stamps from the AM TO PM, COFFEE and RAD. I made my album from two pieces of chipboard, some binder rings nad some yellow paint. I love how it turned out. I threw in some extra pieces from my stash as well, and love how all the pieces came together.

I did all of my journaling on 4x4 pieces for each section of the day (morning, afternoon, evening). I used the times on each of the photos, and wrote a sentence or two about what was happening at that time. I'm not adding any journaling between the photos, so leave a comment if you have any questions. Enjoy!







































I had so much fun doing this project, and I absolutely look forward to doing it again later this year. I love the opportunity to document a day in my life with more detail than I normally would. It's also a great opportunity to make a mini album and try out some new things and see what works and what you don't like. I hope you have a wonderful day!

Project Life | Week 10

Today I'm sharing week 10 of my Project Life. I can't believe April is almost half over already. Where have the last four and a half months gone? Today I used mostly Studio Calico, but the top left card came in a past Story Kit.

Left side; just kept it pretty simple. Journaled on photos, added a digital stamp from this Kellie Stamps set. I've talked previously about the "bowls of supplies" on my desk. The bottom right photo is the plastic bowls I picked up from Walmart. I love that they're not too big, they're cheap, and they're clear so even if I have them stacked I can see what's inside.

Right side; added some wood veneer banners and little stars from a past Studio Calico kit.

Thanks for coming by to see this spread. I hope you have a wonderful day!

Project Life | Week 9

Today I'm sharing week 9 of my project life. This week I used more of my Studio Calico stash, and some cards from Ali Edwards.

Left side; I did a bit of crafting this week. The bottom two photos include Kellie Stamps from this set and this set. The bottom right photo has the digital "day trip" put onto the photo before I printed it. In the bottom left photo, the stamp is printed on acetate and placed in the mini album since the photo had already been printed.

Right side; my niece and I have been creating a lot of different things with perler beads, including this unicorn. I feel like a longer story about our craft adventures will be told using the past Craft Story Kit from Ali Edwards.

Thanks for coming by to see this spread. Have a great weekend!

Project Life | Week 8

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. Today I'm sharing week 8 of my Project Life.

Left side; since putting embellishments in little bowls on my desk, I've been using them way more. Like the yellow chipboard piece and the yellow circle behind it. Both are from Ali Edwards. This week was all about the making. I kept things pretty simple with pink and yellow.

Right side; Added a wood veneer banner to the photo of Gracie, and documented the snow storm and getting our new snow blower at the perfect time. So handy to have.

Thanks for coming by to see this spread. I hope you have a wonderful day!

Project Life | Week 7

Today I'm sharing week 7 of my Project Life. This week I used some embellishments from last year's February Studio Calico kit, and some pieces from other kits sitting on my desk.
Left side; I added the "let's do this" stamp from a past Ali Edwards Story Kit and a rubber Feb banner to my title card. On the "life doesn't have to be perfect to be wonderful" card I added a label to cover the part that said "january" and added a label and stamped "liking" on it.

Right side; I used some older physical Kellie Stamps to stamp on the bottom right card and added a chipboard circle to the diamond card. I love the colours of this spread, even if it snowed most of the week.

Thanks for coming by to see this spread. I hope you have a wonderful weekend! I'll be sharing another Project Life spread on Monday!
