There's the Queen, Prince Charles and his three siblings, then Prince William, Kate Middleton and their adorable family - plus Prince Harry, Meghan Markle and their son Archie and daughter, Lilibet.īut the royal family - and in particular, the line of succession - extends far beyond those famous faces who regularly make public appearances and headlines. So, it'd be fair to say many of us like to think we know them well. Therefore choosing a simple, minimal approach makes sense for me.As a nation, it'd be fair to say that we're all pretty darn obsessed with the royal family – and read about them a lot (plus, hello! Look at the viewing figures for The Crown).

I love going all out with creativity at other times of the year, but Week in the Life brings a certain documentation intensity. I can see this becoming a thing with its own section in my albums. This was my first time creating one layout as my Week in the Life project. All of the repetitive elements make this Week in the Life layout feel cohesive, despite the contrasting background papers. These paper pieces ground the pockets and draw the viewer’s eye across the spread. In addition, I originally didn’t plan on adding the branding strips, but I felt like the hearts were just floating in space. The faux stitching is with a Uni POSCA paint pen. The photo was printed larger than the heart dimensions, then cut to match. I typed up “I want to remember…” journaling each day and printed it on cardstock. Those heart pockets from the 2022 Week in the Life collection completely inspired the composition of this double-page spread. I love capturing a slice of everyday life in different ways and aligning the approach with my available time, energy, and motivation.Ĭreating My Week in the Life Layout for 2022 Some years my Week in the Life project has been all about the photos and in others, like this year, the words were the focus. Similarly, I’ve also completed Week in the Life photo collages, 8×12 pocket pages, digital layouts, and photo book pages. As a result, I planned to use those on a scrapbook layout documenting the selected week in June. This year (2022), I instantly noticed the giant heart pockets featured in the Week in the Life product collection. I know myself and an album project during the busy early summer season just isn’t a good fit for me.

It is popular within the scrapbooking community, with many participants creating smaller 6×8 or 10×8 albums to celebrate their week. Week in the Life is a community project from Ali Edwards to document seven days with words and photos. I love the concept of the Week in the Life project, but I have taken a more minimalist approach since I started participating in 2010.
