Wow, what a week! My first time doing Week in the Life, and it was immense!
I had decided weeks ago that if I did WITL I wanted it to be incorporated into my existing Project Life binder. That meant that for me the best option was to go digital. I used Ali Edwards’ 2011 8.5×11 templates (available from Designer Digitals here), and just slid them straight into American Crafts 8.5×11 page protectors and that was it! I used the regular PL week for an introduction to Week in the life on the left hand side and then my favourite picture from the week on the right hand side along with Flynnie’s ANZAC Day art from school.
Here are the pictures – each of the day’s images links back to that day’s post (I posted every day last week to motivate myself to keep up):
And without the WITL pages:
For the front and back WITL pages I used one of Ali’s overlays over a digital paper. On the back cover I added a mosaic of instagram photos I had taken over the week.
And here are the individual days. Click on the image for more information:
I enjoyed WITL very much and I am really pleased with the results, but at the same time it has been lovely to go back to Project Life this week and I am loving it more than ever!
Thanks for visiting, and I would love to know what you think.
As usual I am linking up with The Mom Creative for Project Life Tuesday. Click over there for more Project Life blogs and inspiration.

This is awesome. Beautifully done and something very special for your boys (and you) to look back on. Much more interesting than photos stuck in an album as it brings the photos to life. You should be proud of it.

Amazing! I think I rather like 2011 WITL templates better too, I might change mine to 2011 style… Hummnn.. alot of work. Yours are De-VINE!
documentingchaos said:
Thanks Kimberley! It took me ages to decide which ones to use. I love all Ali’s stuff!
Kimberly Wiener said:
Yes, if I could change my blog to “All things Ali” I probabaly would, lol!
But as for you –
I will be keeping my eye on your blog updates!
Have a great day.
