Are you playing along with Week in the Life? I'm so excited to be joining along as Ali Edwards guides us through the process of documenting our every day lives for one week. In case you're new to this project, all the info and inspiration is free to find on her blog and we start next Monday, 4/19.
I've spent the last few days gathering up inspiration and supplies for our Week in the Life album. I'm really excited about my color combo... teal, orange, and yellow, with pops of red.
My fall 2008 Week in the Life album is filled with brown, tan and red, so I'm looking forward to going in a different color direction for this spring album. Other parts of the album are also taking shape, like the font:
And now I'm just deciding between different We R Memory Keepers page protectors. I have both of these on hand and plan to play around with them this week to decide which ones will be going into the album.
After making a Week in the Life album in 2008, I definitely recommend making some of your design decisions ahead of time, while still being flexible and open to change. I will have my supplies set aside and a general idea of how I plan to lay out the pictures, words, and bits of life. Can't wait to see what direction the inspiration takes me!
Oh and very exciting Week in the Life news from Ali! She is designing new digital/hybrid elements to correspond with this project, which will be available at Designer Digitals this weekend. You don't need to purchase these to make your album, but her digital elements from last time were great and versatile enough to use on other projects, too.
I hope that you will be joining along; the album is a great snapshot of a week of real life!
