As I've discussed on an earlier post, this year I'm including an 8x10 Title Page that includes my "Photo of the Week" (the favorite photo or the one that I feel summarizes the week) as well as the Week Number & the dates.
This is the left hand side of the weekly spread, and is generally photos from the weekend:
Can you see what is missing? There are no journal cards. And no weekly title card. Yes, I know, it's crazy. I'm using the smaller pockets for small photos rather than journaling cards. Keep reading to find out where my journaling is....
As far as I know, this was the first drawing art work from my daughter that was an actual portrait. She was literally drawing a portrait of the flowers on our kitchen table instead of just a drawing from her imagination.
And here is my journaling. This is a 6x12 template from Ali Edwards and includes a space for journaling & also a spot for a large photo enlargement. I decided on this format this year because I am taking a weekly approach to my layout rather than a Photo-A-Day approach that I took last year. Last year, it made sense to journal daily with a daily photo, but this year I'm doing a weekly summary instead as it matches better with my weekly approach.
The front side of the 6x12 is generally a photo from the weekend & also journaling that summarizes the weekend. And the back side of the 6x12 is generally a photo from the weekday and journaling about the weekdays.
And here is the last page of the spread, the right hand side, which is photos from the weekdays.
Everyone is always saying "Project Life can be anything you want it to be" and I love that my Project Life approach this year can be so different from my Photo-a-day approach last year...and yet such a powerful tool to capture all the little everyday moments that make up such a big and wonderful life.

Donna, I'm so glad to see you here on the blog hop! I love your Photo of the Week! Great idea. Looking forward to seeing how your album progresses this year.
ReplyDeleteYou're absolutely right about it being anything you want! I love how you decided to do your weekly approach. Mine is also weekly but a big mish-mash of journaling with no photos to go along, photos only, and also a mix of photos and their corresponding stories.
ReplyDeleteLove it! It is awesome that you've added so many photos. I saw a weekly summary on CZs blog. She uses the date card space for that and I think that is a much better use of space, in fact I made one for myself and forgot all about it until right now! THanks for that reminder. I will have to remember to use that for next week. Love your album and great idea using an 8x10 EVERY week. Awesome.
ReplyDeleteGreat pages! I too agree that PL can be anything you want it to be, there are no restrictions and no limitations! Love your idea of featuring one special photo to summarize your week.
ReplyDeleteThanks for blog hopping and linking up to me! :)
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with you that PL can be whatever you want it to be.
Your pages look great - my favourite is the drawing.
