Story Play | Day In The Life™ 2024 | Ali's Completed Project

I love finishing up another documenting project!

This Day In The Life™ adventure is so worth the effort. I love that I've done this project so many times over the years and can see the passage of time through the stories told. If you missed the earlier post this week I shared a look back at many of my past Day In The LIfe™ projects which you can check out here.

For 2024 I decided to add this project to my 6x8 story album. I had mentioned previously that I might add it to Project Life but as I was bringing the content together it just made more sense to me to put it into the 6x8 this time.

Want to use the Day In The Life™ logo in your project? You can download it here.

Here's a look at it coming together via video:

Here's a look at my finished project via images:

As I was working though bringing this all together I felt like it made the most sense to start with the timeline.

I'm using three different pens here: .05 Micron, Kuretake Brush Pen, and Staedtler Lumocolor F.

Photos added to the "a detail from today" paper were cropped to 2.25 inch x 2.25 inch.

For each of my "main" themes this time I printed a 3 inch x 4 inch photo and used the 3x4 Stamp Set to add words to the banner stickers from the kit. My journaling was often a mixture of the Micron Pen and the Kuretake Brush Pen. In the video you'll hear me say that I wish I had used red ink for the numbers on that "work" card (it was the first one I did) - I love the little pop of red on the numbers on the "watch" card.

And repeat!

Because I had more photos I wanted to include from my day I grabbed a 2x2 page protector and trimmed off the outside column of pockets to fit the number of photos I wanted to include (front + back). On the one empty pocket I added 2 inch chipboard circles to the outside of the pocket.

Love this glimpse of my day.

It all goes by so fast.

I took the journaling I added to my blog post yesterday and copied and pasted it into two canvasses in Illustrator (you can do the same thing in Photoshop or Canva).
