Week in the Life...
at least my approach... So last week was the first week of week in the life hosted by @aliedwards. I have to be honest, I absolutely love looking at people albums, and lots of photos. But I have never really felt that this was the project for me. I mean seriously, who wants a million photos of me ironing, and doing the dishes? lol. So I really thought about making a different approach to this project. I really wanted to document in words, or bullets what exactly it was like for me.
Ive been in love with @inkwellpress 's hexagonal mission board for a while now, I mean come on its beautiful! So I recreated the page with purple and mint colors, just for this purpose. I really wanted to capture exactly what I did in that week and will some highlighted photos. So that's just what I did with the Mini Album/ planner below.
I started with some thick craft card stock and my silhouette. I created a small 8x5 booklet with a small 1/8th in spine for the papers. I then made my design for the inserts.
I also copied the Week in the Life Logo in Ali's hand writing and cut it out in a deep purple textured card stock. So lovin' purple!
Each day I filled out some highlights about what meals we have been eating on our diet, special walks with my husband, things I was appreciative for that day, maybe some inspiration, and completed tasks.
I feel this book was more along the lines of something I would want to flip through in a couple of years. #minimalist
