Week In The Life : Bringing It All Together • The Photos, Part Two
Tags:
This was the scene late last week after my photos arrived in the mail from scrapbookpictures.com.
It's always so cool to have photos in hand. I really like how the 8.5x11 photo collage pages turned out and I decided not to cut them out and adhere them to cardstock. Originally I thought I would do that so that the papers "matched" but when it came down to it that was going to take me a whole lot longer and I just didn't want to spend the time doing that when it looked perfectly fine as it was. All I ended up doing was adhering the pattern paper strips and the tabs and calling it good for this portion of the album.
If you are paying really close attention you might notice that the long strip and the short strip of pattern paper are switched (long first vs. short piece first) in comparison with the layered template package. I happened to just dive right in adhering the strips and this is what I ended up with.
Here's a look at each of the photo pages (still working on the baseball card page protectors):
Supplies used can be found in this post.
Tomorrow I hope to have the whole album complete including a cover page, the baseball card page protector photos and the rest of my journaling.
Thank you to those of you who have been emailing me images of your project. I'm looking forward to showing other examples later this week. Feel free to send me some samples of your album at ali@aliedwardsdesign.com. Please put Week In The Life Example in the subject line.

Your work is so original, truly your own signature style. I love it, and although I will never be able to take photos like this, it inspires me.

It's similar. I will include it in my post tomororw (the digital packages include a template for the intro page).

YES YES YES - perfect is totally over-rated.
Right now I am creating scrapbook pages that detail everyday stories from time to time that go into my 12x12 scrapbooks. I am actually thinking about doing some more photobooks that just celebrate our everyday life throughout the year. Even just one of those per year would be an awesome peek into your life.

Once again a fantastic WITL album and I just love it, Ali. I adore the photo with Anna and your dog (Lily, right?) at the window. It looks like the dog is laughing right along with Anna! I didn't do WITL this time but I did it last year and I really enjoyed it. There's still plenty of year left for me to do it this year when I have more time to devote to it. Congratulations on a job well-done and always being such an inspiration to us all.

I went to the website for the photo collages but didn't see a price for the 8.5 X 11 collage. Are they special order? Your book is going to be great as usual. Thanks for all the inspiration.

Hey Ali. Your album looks awesome. I have to say - among your strong suits is the ability to put patterned paper together in the most delightful combos. I just love what you've chosen here.
I also wanted to thank you for lighting a fire. On the heels of this project, I've been inspired to introduce a smaller scale project for the readers of my blog. I launched it today...
It's called.... "It's The Little Things." Check it out if you have a minute. I'm hoping to inspire others the way you've inspired me.
