Join In : A Week In The Life
[ from 2005 ]
From 2005 through 2007 I taught a class at Creating Keepsakes University called A Week In The Life (the project is also highlighted in my book Life Artist). These were album classes that focus on documenting everyday details over the course of seven consecutive days. The albums themselves are definitely up there on my list of favorites.
Even though I am not teaching the class any more I want to do the project again.
Things in my life are much different right now than they were a year ago. I want to make sure I capture some of those little things - the way things look in our house, how I am feeling, our growing family (and the last few months of life as just 3), what Simon is up to, etc.
Consider yourself invited to play along. Next week will be content gathering week. From Monday through Sunday I will be using my camera and gathering "bits of life" to add to my album. The following week I will be putting the album together using supplies I have on hand.
Look for more details to come tomorrow including the categories I will be using and a list of photos to consider as you go through the week.
I also wanted to take a minute today and welcome my newest sponsors: Clickin Moms, A Million Memories, Stampin With Steph (Stampin Up), and ScrapCandy.com.
If you are interested in becoming a sponsor send me an email for more information.
A complete list of posts related to the week in the life project can be found here.
Hi Ali - Thanks for doing this. The album I made in your CKU track is one of the greatest things I have ever done. I love the idea of doing it again, now. And having the two to compare. You are amazing.

That's so funny! I just posted on my blog yesterday about my Week in the Life project from CKU-Orlando last year.

You have no idea how excited I was to read that you are going to do this 'class' with us online. I can't wait to play along and start taking photos next week.

Okay, I'm in. I'm scared but I'm in. Every time I try to do something like this, I don't finish, so I will try my best. I will be vigilant. I will get it done. Thanks for wanting to do this and for sharing it on your blog. You truly are inspiring to so many of us.

My 2006 Week In The Life album is still my fave album I've ever done. I've been wanting to do another one, so this is just the nudge I need. Thanks, Ali!

I do A Week In The Life the same week every year - for the past 3 years. I do very little other scrapping, so it's a real treasure. I always include a gas receipt, which has already resulted in "remember the good old days?" I choose the week ending in Mother's Day so I never forget to do it. Thanks for the awesome inspiration Ali!

I am so excited be be invited to join this "class." I don't have the "financial backing" to allow me to go to CKU, so it will be fun to be able to do this project with you. Thank you for your inspiration.

I loved taking your CKU class and much has changed since this time last year and the year before when I did the class. Thank YOU!
