Day in the Life March Edition

This month I chose to do the Day in the Life challenge on Friday March 29th. So glad I did. It was Good Friday and my sister was coming home for Easter so that meant time as a family. (The past two months I've been off work and documented the day by myself, so it's nice to change it up a bit.)

I took many many many photos, knowing I'd only use a few in the actual Day in the Life page. (The rest I used in my regular Project Life spread.) I printed them out Sunday and used a Design G page protector to house them all in.

I decided to use just my black and white washi with a bit of color. I wanted simple simple simple. (This is pretty much my mantra every time I scrapbook.) I like how it forms a cohesive bond between the pictures. I like how I didn't worry about times or even if one thing happened before another.

The point for me this time was to simply document the day and have the photos. Maybe next month will be different but for now, this works.

Day in the Life - February Edition

February's Day in the Life was last Thursday and I played along with it again. (Side note - I think I'm definitely going to do this every month. So great to get an intense snap shot of just one day.) I went about my day and took a tonne of photos. On Saturday I tried to figure out what I wanted to do with them.

I ended up using one of the 5x7 page protectors and choosing twelve photos that best represented the day. I stuck them together in Photoshop and added a bit of wash and a tag at the top. I simply wrote the time on each photo and left it at that.

Am I okay with only using a portion of the photos I took that day? Definitely. Am I good with not writing descriptions by each photo? Yes. Is it okay that it's crazy simple? Yup!

One of the things I love about this project (and scrapbooking/crafts in general) is that it's what you want it to be. I answer to no one as far as it goes, so as long as I'm happy then it's all good. Guess what? I'm happy. 

How'd your day in the life go?
