Project Life 2012: Week 1

Here is Week 1. This is the 2-page spread as you open the album.

Here is a close-up of the left hand side on the spread. In general, I still try to have the bottom left photo be Friday, the top right Saturday and the bottom right Sunday, but there are no hard & fast rules. The top left spot is what I consider to be the title card still but instead of using the PL title card, I generally have this be a photo, usually of a sign or inanimate object or something like that. Since I date my weekly Title page, I no longer have to actually include the week's dates on this title card.

Here is the weekly title page again, blogged about this page on the previous post.

On the back side of the weekly title page, is a collage of the event we went to on Saturday for a chance to add more photos from that event. After that is a 6x12 long journaler (Ali Edwards template). Since I'm approaching this as a weekly spread, I decided to do my journaling as a weekly summary instead of daily journal cards. So far, I'm able to get all my weekly journaling onto the 6x12 lay-out. And I like a chance for another large photo.

Here is a closer look.

And the other side of the long journaler...more journaling & another large photo.

This week, I also included an American Crafts 3-up for some additional photos I wanted to include.

And the back...

And finally, the last page of the spread. You can see by doing the journaling as a weekly summary on the long journaler, I am able to add so many more photos, which I love.
