Week in the Life 2015 - Plan and Prep

I’m so excited to dive into my first attempt at Week in the Life. I took the advice of my previous documenters and prepped my album before the week. First step was pulling out the supplies. I bought Ali Edwards’ kit below so I started there.The kit is great, but I wanted to add to it with some embellishments and alphas from my own stacks.

From there, I started laying out my pages and my plan for the week. I started with my cover page in stark black and gold. I finally found a use for these ABM Messy Box gold letters!

On the opposite side, I decided to do a simple title page with the dates of the week.

I would love to do a 6x8” photo for each day of the week, but we will have to see what I come up with later. At least I can start making a journaling or traditional scrapbooking page on the opposite side of where the photo would be. These are the patterned papers that i decided on (all from my Messy Box). I used the gold star washi and wood days of the week from the WITL kit. These pages may eventually include some journaling or a picture.

I plan on using the Morning, Afternoon, and Evening 3x8” card for pics of our meals. The opposite side will be used probably for journaling… I went ahead and made a “Currently” card for each day of the week,

From there I am leaving the pockets open for pictures with some journaling cards in between. Hopefully I can print the pictures soon after the week to actually complete the album.
