Project Life: A Day in the Life edition: in progress

February 19, 2012Annette Haring

Just a quick update to say I'm still here! Been busy but finding bits of time to play. This is a little bit of a project in progress. Working on A Day in the Life. I have found I keep adding product to my stash. It's just a fun time of year with lots of new products being released. Also it seems a lot of new products that work really well with Project Life. Must stop buying and start using!

So for A Day in the Life I just focused on myself. That is the easiest to do. iPhone all the way. I think I will do one for DD and DH later this year. And I might even do a day just focusing on us as a family, like on the weekend.

I like that Project Life is so adaptable. I am doing a whole spread just about A Day in the Life. I am doing whole spreads (two pages) of Take 12. I have a spread in progress for my DD's birthday. Then other weeks are a "week at a glance" or weekly highlights type layouts. And some are monthly reviews. Just having fun and playing along. Yes, some of these could go in my Library of Memory albums. But I think there is something fun about doing this as a year album.

Aren't these little blue camera overlays from Hambly just awesome? Have a great week!

Take 12 Challenge in 2012: January Edition

January 18, 2012Annette Haring

I decided to do Project Life as a more monthly project, but my goal is to do it throughout the month, and not just wait at the end of the month to do an overview. That may or may not happen, but for now it is working. As part of that, I wanted to take part in Ella Publishing's Take 12 project. It seemed like fun and would make a great addition to my Project Life.

The challenge: take 12 photos on the 12th and document it. (or somewhere near the 12th, or sometime in the month). The goal is just to have fun with it. The prompt this month was taking inventory. Also did some of the collections and just a mix of our day. Even my husband helped with taking some photos! Turned out pretty fun.

I used the 3x4 divided page protector on the left and the 6x6 divided page protector on the right from Becky Higgins. And on the right I am counting those as one photo (he took the bottom left one in an iPhone app called Grid Lens, and the top right one I did with Diptic. I used mostly Instagrams.

This is a journaling block that I adapted from One Little Word class 2011. Once I printed on matte photo paper, I stamped the date using a date stamp.
