A Week in the Life - How it Looks in the Album

This was a fun little project and it's nice that it was relatively quick. Even though the rings in the binder album are small, I think it would still fit some more pages so I'm hoping I can do this again in the future and just add the pages here. It'd be a nice way to compare how our routines change as we do.

Here's a glimpse of how it looks in the album.

 

I stamped, "Week in the Life" from the Notice the Details stamp set, directly onto the album's cover. I just wanted to keep it simple so I didn't add any other embellishments to the cover.

The front page just has random shots from around the house (lunch boxes, the fridge, computer screen, toothbrushes, etc.)

Here are some of the layouts from inside the album. Sorry the pictures are small. When I enlarge them, they get somewhat blurry so I've kept them this size.

Supplies used: (Z1141) My Creations 3-Ring Binder, (D1378) December 2009 Stamp of the Month - Notice the Details, (D1286) Today's Date stamp set, (D1222) Tiny Typewriter Alphabet stamp set, (retired) Calendar stamp set, (1385) White Daisy cardstock, (Z2105) Black stamp pad, (Z1034) Ribbon Rounds Black Collection

Tag Album Journal - Part 3

It's been a busy week with the kids home from school. I haven't had a chance to post in a week, sorry! We got some new inflatable sleds and have enjoyed a lot of sledding even over the refrozen, icy and bumpy parts of the hills. My husband and I celebrated our thirteenth wedding anniversary yesterday also! My son did receive homework through the internet though so it hasn't been all fun and games. And guess what? We have another snow day today!

Here are the last of the pages in the tag album journal that I've been working on.

I tried to keep the labels on the pages somewhat open ended so that the recipient could decide how to use the journal. For example, my original thought was that this page could be used to show a typical daily schedule and I was going to stamp times such as 7 am, 8am, etc.,  but then I thought that someone may prefer to write about their day in a different way (morning, afternoon, evening, or even just about a particular or special day).

The front of this page has a little pocket with library cards (stamped on each side) which can be remove and written on. Again, I was thinking that this could be written in many ways. It could be about the books read in the current year or it could be about all time favorite books.

The lower photo shows another little pocket with an insert that the recipient can write on or attach little photos to or the recipient could replace the insert and put some other little memorabilia in there such as a tag, ticket, receipt, etc.

This is the front and back of the last page for either journaling or photos.

Supplies Used: (X7105B) Emporium Level 2 paper pack, (D1347) Confidential stamp set, (D1329) Noteworthy stamp set, (D1378) Notice the Details stamp set, (D1222) Tiny Typewriter Alphabet stamp set, (Z2114) Cocoa stamp pad, (Z2160) Twilight stamp pad, (Z1126) Colonial White Ribbon Rounds

Tag Album Journal - Part 1

I'm working on a tag album journal that I'm hoping to replicate with different papers. My goal is to make at least three that I can give as gifts to some college friends of mine who are turning 40 this year. I came up with this idea almost a year ago...I'm either a big time planner or a big time procrastinator! Luckily, I bought the tag albums before they were retired! It's still a work in progess so here are the first series of pages I have completed.

First page, front and back

Second page, front and back

Third page, front and back

Supplies used: (D1201) Frame of Mind, (D1329) Noteworthy, (D1378) Notice the Details - December 2009 Stamp of the Month, (X7105B) Emporium Level 2 paper pack, (Z2114) Cocoa stamp pad, (44751) Archival Black stamp pad
