A Day In The Life...-MDSM102

Are you familiar with a daily or weekly scrap page, a page that documents a day- or week-in-the-life?  One specific example is December Daily by Ali Edwards.  In December, there are so many activities going on, that creating daily pages help document these busy times.  More generically, daily or weekly pages sprung out of Project 365, in which you take a photo every day.  Taking a daily photo frees you from having to frame the perfect scene, or document only important or exciting activities, and rather just photograph everyday life.  Society has embraced this type of photo-taking with the social media and selfie evolution.

Once you have these everyday photos, you need a format to tell the story.  Project Life layouts can be a great way to complete day-in-the-life or week-in-the-life pages.  In fun examples by Julie Fei-Fan Balzer, you can see how she uses the date of the week or month to help tell the story.  One digital kit specifically designed for these type of pages is the Daily December Memories Photobook Template. It's not just for December, and it was from this kit that Heidi took this week's example layout for our MDS Monday challenge.  When building pages from scratch, Project Life downloads such as Hello December, Seasonal Snapshot, or any other pocket card download and Day to Day Stamp Brush Set are perfect.

Our challenge to you is to create a daily or weekly page.  Make sure you use actual dates as part of the embellishments or pocket cards.  They can be in Project Life format or any other layout.  Don't feel you need to stick to the example layout here; we've included the link to the Daily December kit for more ideas.  The charm of the page is to just use daily photos of what you ate, where you went, what you did.  Nothing fancy, but just a fun way to tell the story of everyday life.  Can't wait to see what you create!  

Here's my layout of a fun day away with visiting family last summer!  I'll show it to you side by side which is how they would be displayed in the book, and the I'll show you larger, so you can see more detail!  I'll have some more of these type of pages to show you tomorrow and later this week, as I have been stuck on the couch for the last week with a badly sprained ankle, and have pretty much been scrapbooking non-stop!

And here a little larger...
