Week In The Life Album

**Photo Heavy Post**


I undertook Ali Edward's Week In The Life Challenge 2 weeks ago.  I was a little apprehensive about the whole thing, given my epic fail with Project Life (although I still really want to try and catch up on that).  I was also leery about it,as it was the same week as the Dance Competition that the girls and I all participated in 3 days out of 5.  Enter the iPhone.  I really do love that fabulous little piece of technology.  It made it possible to have my camera on me at all times.  I probably took about 60% of my photos on the phone, and the rest were taken on my Canon Rebel.  Before I even began taking the photos I got together my papers, and a few little embellishments.  I chose the Simple Stories Fabulous line to work with.  Have you seen these new 6x8 albums?  They are great.  They make the undertaking of a project like this so much less intimidating.  Once I got all my photos printed, I chose my papers.  I had been saving up my Fabulous collection for my Project Life album, but decided to splurge, and use it on this project instead.  Now, I have an excuse to purchase the new collection for use in my PL (always thinking ahead).  Simple Stories is the perfect partner to a project like this, with so many perfectly sized journal spots.  Without further ado here's my completed album.

And that wraps it up.  The only thing I'll add to the back page is the email I received in response from Miss Ali Edwards herself.  I won a prize from Chic Tags during that week of documenting, and had to send her my contact info.  I just added a thank you for walking us through the process of documenting our week...and she actually replied.  How cool is that?!

Thanks for having a peek at my week, I hope you feel a little inspired to take on your own Week In The Life.  There are no rules it can be any week you choose.

Have a great day friends,

♥ S.
