PROJECT LIFE....WEEK IN THE LIFE PAGES !!!!!

Here is the full spread for the week, notice it's all COLLAGES, I know big surprise, lol!!! My first thought was to pick one photo/storyfor the day and that's it. Some of these days just have so many good things to remember though so I went for the collage idea. It's nice knowing that even in my PL for this week the story is pretty well told thru the photos and journaling. Having all white borders around the collages makes the color stickers pop nicely doesn't it??!! Now for close ups....
Here is the left side,  the title card needs something just not sure what yet. The LIFE card in the first pocket is perfect for this week I thought. The card for Monday is a folded journal card, inside I explanied what this week was about and why it was captured this way. Went to town with all the number/arrow stickers, glad to finally put them to use. I will have to use them more in the future.
Here is the right side of the week. I also added little stickers from the PL kit on some of the collages again it's nice that they are being used. For every collage there is a photo of my front yard/sunrise and one of the sunset, this was my goal for that week and I love seeing them here. The only thing I'd change is not adding so many photos to some of the collages, some of them are pretty tiny. Not going to worry about it though, it's done and I'm moving on.
The actuall WITL album is going to take me a couple weeks, trying something totally new and it will take some work, would help if I knew about digital or had software for it but will have to do this by hand instead. Can't wait to share it with you when done!! Thank you so much for all support and awesome comments you left me during this week, it helped motivate me to finish and to have fun with it. I'm happy to say that my camera has still been clicking away this week and my PL should be up and ready for next Tuesday as usual. A big THANK YOU TO THE AWESOME ALI EDWARDS ALSO FOR SHARING THIS WONDERFUL IDEA WITH US AND LETTING US TAG ALONG. SHE IS A TRUE INSPIRATION TO ME DAILY!! HAVE A GREAT DAY!!

  4. Dawn, I love this project. I love the insert pages and the idea behind it. I always mesmerize myself at other people's collages because I am so bad at it... Got me inspired! I love inspiring ideas like that.

  5. Hi Dawn! Great job with the collages. Using those certainly makes it easier to include more photos. You sound like me, not wanting to leave anything out. I usually end up with lots of inserts.

    Thanks for sharing your week. Hope you have a great weekend!
