Story Play | Day In The Life™ | Kick Off + Reason Why

Welcome to our first Story Play week of this year! 

For our first Story Play adventure we'll be documenting a Day In The Life™ this coming Saturday, April 1st. Each day this week I'll be sharing a video of tips + ideas related to using the lens of color as a way to tell the story of our day. 

Here's a look at our schedule this week: 

  • TODAY: Kick Off + Reason Why
  • TUESDAY: Supplies + Set Up
  • WEDNESDAY : Tips For Words
  • THURSDAY: Tips For Photos
  • FRIDAY: Live Q+A on YouTube at 11am Pacific (you can sign up here to be notified when I go live // this will be recorded + shared on the blog after it's completed)
  • SATURDAY: Documenting Day
  • SUNDAY: Show + Tell 

THE LENS OF COLOR

For Day In The Life™ this year I wanted to do a different lens than we've done in the past to mix things up and bring in a little more creative play to the process.

I'll be using the kit (digital available) we released earlier this year to hold the photos and words from my day. I'll share more about my set up + documenting plan in tomorrow's video and more about the words on Wednesday and the photos on Thursday. 

Let's dive in to today's kick off video: 

Here's a link to the walkthrough of past Day In The Life™ projects mentioned in the video above.

    When the physical kit was released it was mentioned that there would be a digital which included the alternative spelling of colour. Is there still a plan to release that?

    Wonderful kickoff video to prep for Day In The Life 2022! I love the concept of using color as the lens. This will be my first time participating.

    So looking forward to documenting DITL this way. A few years back on a trip to the Bahamas, I set my mind to document our trip this way. I devoted a 6x8 page for each colour. It was SO MUCH FUN! Great to look around me and find all the colours.

    Thank you so much for the alternate spelling for colour. Is there any chance of getting the pink chipboard card (Colors from life) added to the alternate spelling pack? I’d really like to use it too.
