Day in the Life | Nicole Samuels

Ali Edwards has set aside September 9-15th for her popular Week In The Life project. We've asked five of our Creative Team members to take on a recording and sharing one day with all of you. They'll each be sharing a project, their tips and tricks, and a video. We hope these ideas inspire you as you take on a Day or Week In The Life album!

I've always been inspired by Ali's Week in the Life project, but a little intimidated to try it myself.  But a day in the life?  I can handle that!  I kept my trusty iPhone in my pocket and tried to capture little bits of our day that I normally wouldn't bother to photograph.  By the end of the day, my photos were synced to my computer (I had already edited them quickly with PicTapGo) and I easily and quickly dragged and dropped them into a layout template from Ali Edwards made just for her Week in the Life Project.  I had my day's worth of photos on a 12x12 layout by 10pm that same day. Yay!  I love that I have a traditional type layout that will fit right into my regular family album AND that I was able to complete the documentation before the details of the day were lost.  

I love that this type of memory keeping can be done in a variety of styles and formats.  Project Life, mini books, digital/hybrid/traditional layouts… anything goes!  Find a format that works for you and give it a try.  You'll enjoy looking back on these snippets of the everyday!
