If you follow me on Instagram, you saw that this past Friday I was participating in the second Day in the Life for 2020. The lens this go-around is “thankful” and I was so excited to taking some photographs during my day of random things that I am thankful for. Gratitude is such a wonderful thing to focus on and so it was really joyful and refreshing to focus on that all day on Friday. I probably could have taken A LOT more photographs of things that I was thankful for, but because it was a busy day, I kept it super simple and I’m glad that I did. Simple, in my opinion, is always best.
I ended up taking 10 photographs that day. I shared them all on my IG feed (you can find me HERE if you’d like to follow me) and I love sharing that way because then when I go to create the project around the photos + words, I can easily copy & paste what I said about each photo onto the journaling card, etc.
The album and kit that I used for this project is the same album and goodies from the Day in the Life kit that you can find HERE. The album is sold out, but you can still get the physical products and even digital products on Ali’s website.
I loved this “today” yellow tag (yellow is my absolute favorite) and so I stamped the date on it and then adhered it to the FOR THE RECORD tag. I cut of a bit of the bottom of the tag, added a tiny staple from my tiny attacher and then slipped it into a 3×4 page protector that I cut down a bit. I did have to punch a couple of new holes in the sides to make it work, but it was super easy.
I made sure to use an Avery tab for the side and then added two of the phrase stickers from the kit onto the tab.
On the back, I adhered a plastic quote embellishment piece from a previous purchase. I loved the sentiment and thought it was perfect.
For all of my photos, I kept them 3×4 and then just alternated between photo, journaling card, journaling card and then photo throughout the pages.
I stamped the date on each journaling card and used the digital kit to make copying & pasting the journaling onto the cards super simple.
I did add a few random embellishments here and there on some of the pages (like this talk bubble heart), but mainly just used the phrase stickers from the kit for simplicity sake and I loved the look of them.
For a couple of the photos, I used a tag to give it a bit of a different look and to break up the sizes and depths of the pages.
I added a bit of this super cute patterned paper from Maggie Holmes (the line is called Sweet Story). I just loved the look of it and wanted something on the last page before the album turned to the next section which is all about Pieces of Me. You can see that documentation HERE. If you have any questions about anything – let me know! I’m happy to help and if you documented Day in the Life too – I’d love for you to leave me a comment if you have it posted somewhere!
Have a great week ahead! XO! Thanks for stopping by!
