I feel good to be done with my Week in the Life layouts a week before Thanksgiving. It’s one of those projects that I try to finish as close to the actual dates as possible as to keep it fresh in my mind. Changing from a digital version to a hybrid/almost more traditional version took more time to complete.
Here are my final two layouts which were stories to fill in between the daily photos.
I had this idea to sort of do a newsletter layout page to sum up some stories that I didn’t have photos for or that just were small things I wanted to note from the week. I tried not to get too hung up on the design and just get it done. I love infographics and wish I could’ve been a little more creative with this, something to keep in mind for the future.
The layout is mostly digital, using the same Amatic font that I used throughout WITL layouts. I took a snip of the Pinterest pins I pinned that week, as well as including some news events. Screenshots of texts and lyrics from songs that played that week.
After printing I added some lines, a pie doodle, the dates from my label buddy, rub-on words and puffy stickers to embellish.
It was also important for me to include a throwback Thursday photo to the prior week when my nephew was visiting. I love this photo of him in the pool!
For the other layout I wanted something to fill in the empty slot on the back of the other 12×12 layout I made for the Saturday story. I had two stories I jotted down on the back of my daily sheets I wanted to include.
I chose a simple approach using some elements from my favorite Simple Stories collections: 24/7 & Say Cheese. The background pattern paper is from Fancy Pants Down by the Shore line.
I ended up just handwriting the stories, layering some elements, and adding the alpha stickers.
Super simple. As always.
I am going to try to video the entire week of layouts in my album to share.
Thanks for stopping by! What are some of your shortcuts in scrapping? How do you make the most of the time you have to scrap?
