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 in that month, creating daily pages
help document these busy times. More generically, I think 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
Daily December Memories Photobook Template, not just for December, and it was from this kit I took this week's example layout. 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.
My 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; I'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!
