Week In The Life 2013 Date Announcement
Tags:
In case you missed it within another post a week or so ago, I've set a date.
I'll be documenting a Week In The Life from Monday, September 9 through Sunday, September 15th, 2013.
Around here that's back to school, the beauty of the change of seasons, and who knows what else might happen along the way.
Week In The Life is an in-depth 7-day documentary project. It's different from Project Life® in that you make a whole album (I usually do 8.5x11 but other people do 12x12 or 6x8) for this one week with each day being showcased as a 2+ page spread.
I made my first Week In The Life album back in 2005 for a Creating Keepsakes event and have done it every year since (except 2009 when Anna was born and it just felt like too much).
There's no cost to participate. I'll have new layered templates available at Designer Digitals in mid- or late-August for those that would like to follow along with the same format I'll be using.
You can check out previous Week In The Life projects here.
I've created a 2013 banner for those of you that would like to add it to your site:

I'm looking forward to another event and hope you'll participate!

I´ve never done it before but just watched the videos of the last 2 years and read all the information. I am definitely going to do this in September! I like your albums of 2011 and 2012 Ali! They´re great and I hope mine will look great as well. Thank you :-)

I didn't know about this before, so I'm totally in for this year. (I'm a relative newbie to all this stuff.) Thanks for all the details!
Maybe someone can answer - how does this mesh with Project Life? Do you just skip PL for that week?

I did WITL last year but I wasn't doing Project Life yet. I know that Ali used a similar photo that she took each day in her kitchen during WITL for her Project Life week that fell during WITL.
I hope this helps.

I have done 4 or 5 of the "week in the life" projects and they are some of my very favorite scrapbooks (and I scrap a lot so there is lots to chose from / these tend to be less structured in terms of layout design for me but oh so much richer in terms of capturing the details of our everyday life than any other type of scrapbooking I do - even richer, I think, than Project Life - which usually centers more around events for me.)
Looking forward to this week!

"choose". - I think I misspelled it in my comment.
