I took pictures for Week in the Life almost 2 months ago, and I am finally getting around to working on my album. Last year I made an opening summary page for my Week in the Life album (1st ever) that I absolutely loved, so I decided to use the same design for this year’s album.
I used the Daily Digital Brushes by Ali Edwards and the December Daily® Mini Kit Papers & Cards by One Little Bird (who said they only work for Christmas? ;)).
Ali Edwards is gearing up to document her Week in the Life next month, and in addition to a physical kit she also has some digital products available.
I have done my first Week in the Life album last year, and look forward to documenting one week again this year. But for now, I started playing with the digital items, and I love them! Those 3″x8″ strips have so many possibilities!
I printed out some elements from the digital kit and made this 8.5″x11″ hybrid page. So simple and easy to put together!
I have never done Week in the Life before, but last week I followed along with Ali Edwards and as I was taking pictures all week I thought about all the stories this photos could tell. But at the end of the week, I wasn’t quite sure what to do with those photos. But then when I saw the new templates by Paislee Press for The Lilypad, I knew it was the perfect way for me to get started scrapping my Week in the Life. I paired them with the lovely November BYOC.
The first spread documents the places I’ve been. Mostly autumn scenes.

The second spread documents my favorites of the week.
Now, I can focus on writing some of the stories for this week.

Welcome to Day 3 of this Anniversary Week! Today I will be sharing some inspiration for anniversary cards.
I find it especially meaningful to give a homemade card to celebrate the sweet milestone of an anniversary.
Some of the tips I shared on Day 1 still apply to cards. In particular, focusing on the numbers is always a nice way to build a card.
Here’s an example from me for our 6th anniversary.
For my in-laws’ 50th, I made a card that featured gold – the color of the 50th anniversary.
Finally, this is the card I made this year for my husband.
Come back tomorrow for some mini album inspiration!
