Here’s the full view of the double page spread I made for Day in the Life. (Detail shots are in the previous post.) I followed a similar template from when I did this project in 9x12 last year, but I converted it to 12x12 by adding journaling cards down the sides of my pages instead of in a separate insert. The math was mathing! #scrapbooking #scrapbook #12x12scrapbooklayout #doublepagelayout #aedayinthelife #aedayinthelife2022 #dayinthelife #aliedwards #aliedwardsdesigninc #memorykeeping #papercrafting https://www.instagram.com/p/CmRaFymOb4X/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I participated in Day in the Life back in October while we were still mostly living out of boxes, and it was the first thing I scrapped in my new crafty space! Years ago, I settled in on a general format for DITL where I use a limited number of photos printed in black and white on a two page spread, and it always makes the project come together so easily and fit right into my regular album. I love the peek it provides into the details of our lives! I used my stash for this one - more cards from that awesome AE storytelling basics collection from a couple of years ago and some bits from past kits. I even made a shaker pocket! Sharing the full spread in my next post. #scrapbooking #scrapbook #12x12scrapbooklayout #doublepagelayout #aedayinthelife #aedayinthelife2022 #dayinthelife #aliedwards #aliedwardsdesigninc #memorykeeping #papercrafting https://www.instagram.com/p/CmRZjgyu_tM/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I haven’t scrapbooked in weeks, because I’ve been in the creative purgatory that is moving, but I did stop and take the time yesterday to snap photos for Day in the Life, @aliedwardsdesigninc’s semi-annual documenting project where you take a day to intentionally capture the everyday. I know I’ll be glad to have saved these snippets of one of the early days in our new home, even if we did very little due to feeling under the weather. If I gather up my photos and some journaling now, I know I’ll be set up for success when I get around to unpacking my scrapbook supplies! #aedayinthelife2022 #aedayinthelife #aliedwards #aliedwardsdesigninc #documenting #storytelling #scrapbooking #memorykeeping #scrapbooking https://www.instagram.com/p/CkREaqcuRJ2/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

My #aedayinthelife project is all finished and in my Project Life album! Documenting the details of our Friday was so easy, since I followed the format I used for the last Day in the Life and used bits from the same kit. My 30 photos cover both sides of a 9x12 layout when cropped to 1.8x4, and I added all of the journaling about our day to a 6x8 pocket page. I just love these little glimpses into our life right now that Day and Week in the Life have provided! #aedayinthelife #aedayinthelife2021 #dayinthelife #dayinthelife2021 #projectlife #projectlife2021 #9x12layout #9x12projectlife #pocketpagescrapbooking #aliedwards #aliedwardsdesigninc #scrapbooking #memorykeeping https://www.instagram.com/p/CVJJmI-vlq7/?utm_medium=tumblr

Happy #aedayinthelife! I’m excited to play along today with @aliedwards’ semiannual documenting project of capturing the details of a single day through photos and stories. I’m copying the format I used for the last DITL back in March and aiming for a total of 30 black and white photos, which I will crop down and collage together onto both sides of a 9x12 layout in my Project Life album. Are you capturing your day, too? What’s your format and your approach? #dayinthelife #aliedwardsdesigninc #aliedwards #scrapbooking #memorykeeping https://www.instagram.com/p/CVEHaMMAuS3/?utm_medium=tumblr

My Day in the Life project is complete! It came together super quickly once I realized I could size my 30 photos at 1.8x4” and fit them all chronologically on both sides of a 9x12 layout. I added all of my journaling in a 6x8 insert and called it done! I always love the result when I participate. #aedayinthelife #aedayinthelife2021 #projectlife #projectlife2021 #9x12projectlife #aliedwards #aliedwardsdesigninc #dayinthelife #scrapbooking #memorykeeping #pocketscrapbooking #papercrafting #papercrafts https://www.instagram.com/p/CMcfm_7F26y/?igshid=163hwk7qmg538

Highlights from today’s Day in the Life. Thankful for this project and these photos that capture a slice of what life is all about right now: working from home, cats, sitcoms at lunch, walks, cats, nails, puzzles, shaved ice, cats, and our monthly pandemic ritual of watching livestreams with The Mads. #aedayinthelife #aliedwardsdesigninc #ditl #aliedwardsdayinthelife #aedayinthelife2021 #aliedwardsdayinthelife2021 #memorykeeping #scrapbooking #themadsareback https://www.instagram.com/p/CMOOTd9g_Qx/?igshid=1s1pz93x0afuo

Until I started scrolling Instagram and seeing everyone’s documenting, I didn’t even know today was #aedayinthelife. But my phone has been busy all day taking photos of our new kittens Sophie and Charlie, so I probably need to do A Day in the Life from THEIR perspective. 😹😹 #memorykeeping #dayinthelife #catsofinstagram #scrapbooking https://www.instagram.com/p/B48HhEqg3m3/?igshid=1s051u5phjjod
