documenting a day in the life.

Dayinthelife

I don't yet have week six of my Project Life album finished yet - my girlfriends have been here the past few days and I am currently in LA dropping them off at the airport. But I do have my insert for this week - a spread for Day in the Life.

Ditlfront

I kept it super simple. (That rad Wednesday badge is from Ormolu.)

Detail3

I copied the text from Friday's blog post into PSE and printed it so I could trim it down to 4x11. Then I sewed a page protector to fit the paper.

Detail

The text spilled over to the backside too. That file tab is from American Crafts c/o Scrapbook Circle.

Front

I used a We R Memory Keepers photo protector to display 18 photos and pieces of paper from the day. Above is the front.

Witlback

And then the back.

Detail2

Wednesday included a particularly good email chain with some of my college girlfriends. I printed off my portion (it was a "update us on your lives" email) and stuck it to the back of that pretty paper from American Crafts. It's not Blogland appropriate so I won't share it here. I am not even sure it's future little ones appropriate, but I'll deal with that when they learn how to read. ;) The "hello" brand is Amy Tangerine for American Crafts and the label is discontinued from Paper Source.

The "five senses" page is from one of my sweet friend Marta's mini diaries. I tore a page out, trimmed it to 4x4, added my text and slipped it in. Super simple and makes for a good daily life "snapshot." I'll have to remember to do that more often this year!

Check plus. Adore this project. Will be sharing the rest of week six tomorrow afternoon probably.

My name is Elise Blaha Cripe. I live in Northern California with my husband and our two daughters.

I make stuff like it's my job.

In October 2019, my book about getting stuff done, Big Dreams, Daily Joys hit bookstores everywhere. For almost ten years, this blog was where I shared (daily!) general life musings, insight into being a small business owner and the occasional craft project. I have closed comments, but feel free to email me at elise[@]elisejoy.com if you have any questions about a post you see here.

If you're new here, I invite you to browse the archives, read my small business story or start with some of my favorite things to write about, DIY home decor & goal-setting. You can also listen to my motivational speech about the power of making bold statements.
