Final Prep

So today begins my week long journey that is "A Week In The Life."  A project conceived of and inspired by, the one and only, Ali Edwards.

My goal this week? Just to keep up, I guess. I don't want to become so overwhelmed with documenting EVERY LITTLE THING - that it becomes a chore.

If I think it's worth writing down, I'll write it. If I wanna take a quick pick, I'll take one. I AM committed to carrying my camera and my notebook around with me everywhere I go and downloading my pics each evening. Beyond that... I just can't say. It's my first time doing this so I'm not sure what to expect.

I am going to try to take NO more than 25 to 30 photos per day. I figure that's a manageable amount to edit each evening without getting bogged down.

Over the weekend, I gathered some supplies and downloaded the digital products I mentioned on Friday from Designer Digitals.

I rounded up my standard page protectors (14 of them) baseball card page protectors (7 of them) and some embellishments that would work with the patterned paper I chose.

I also cut up 6 different patterned papers (7 pieces of each - sized 2.5"x3.5") to fill in the gaps of the baseball page protectors. I just picked a mixed bag of coordinating papers:

_{PATTERNED PAPERS: Green & Taupe Florals: Stampin' Up!, Sandy Yellow: Unknown (old, old, old), Yardstick: Little Yellow Bicycle, Pink Dots & Flower/Clover: Kaiser Craft}

My final bit of preparation was to create a layered document in Photoshop where I can easily clip in 12 photos for the baseball page protectors each day (I'll print two pages/day).

For those of you who are playing along this week and are Photoshop Savvy... I've made this layered file available for download.Download WITL_Photo Grid

Ok.... stay tuned kids. Off we go!

I'm excited to see how you do. If it goes well maybe you could help those of us who are scrap booking challenged do a "Day in the life?" I'm not sure I could handle much more than that... but love the idea of documenting your everyday life.

Good luck - what a great project! Like Danna, I'm hoping to take some inspiration from your endeavor! Good seeing you at the b'day party yesterday.
