A Week in the Life

 

 

So I have hardly been scrapbooking lately, and hardly taking any pictures at all, so when Ali said she was getting ready to do her Week in the Life project again that she has previously done I thought about it…and thought about it a bit more and then decided I am going to give it a go.

 

So I have been getting prepared.  Since I am lazy, I thought it would be nice and easy if I tried to do it exactly the way she is doing it, but that hasn’t panned out the way I wanted as I haven't been able to get all the bits and pieces I have needed, so I am improvising a little.  I still haven't found an album yet, but I have the page protectors, and some trading card holder pages and will get an album later to put everything in.

 

I’m not using Ali’s templates, as I think US$24.99 is a bit much for a few templates that I could probably knock up myself if I really put my head to it, however I did a bit of a search and found these that are going to do me just nicely instead, and they are totally free.

 

I have purchased these cute button embellishments that Ali is using:

 

 

ORMOLU DAY OF THE WEEK EMBELLISHMENTS | 2-Day Hooray Days of the Week Button Embellishments – when you purchase these buttons you also get a coordinating set of tags to print.   Lovely lady to deal with, and really reasonably international shipping!

 

I’ve also bought a couple of the same patterned papers that she is using, which I am going to mix up with some of my own that I already have.

 

And I’m excited!  The boys are on their school holidays this week and next week, so its possible we might even have something interesting to take a photo of.   I hope so,   It will be nice to get a week of 2011 documented, and I am looking forward to putting it all together.

 

Anyone else doing it??
