Virtual Crop: Challenge 3-A Day In My Life

Posted on by Creative Memories

How are you all doing?  We love seeing all the projects that you are posting on the Facebook event page!  Keep them coming!

Have you ever taken the time to document YOUR life?  We spend a lot of time making sure our children’s, pets, grandparents’ lives are all documented, but rarely do we ever think about documenting our own.

So, take a few minutes, and think about what you do each and every day, and how you want your family and friends to see you “at a glance”.

Challenge #3:  Create a layout about a “Day in the Life”—of YOU!  When you have your layout completed, make sure to take a photo and submit it on the Facebook event page to qualify for the door prizes.

Here are a few examples that our Content Contributors have shared with us, about a day in their lives!

To create these layouts, you will need:

To create this “A Day in the Life” layout, I made an effort to record a few of the everyday moments that happened during a “regular day”. Since there were several photos, I knew that the Multi-Pocket Pages would be a great way to showcase them all. For each photo I wrote a brief caption on a ¼” strip of cardstock and placed it directly on the photo along with a few of the cute icon symbols and saying stickers. I used the 2-way Corner Rounder on each photo before I slipped them into their slots.

I created title and journaling boxes by cutting a 4 x 6 piece of Striped paper, rounding the corners and adhering a piece of 3-1/2” x 5-1/2” piece of white cardstock on top (also with rounded corners). I used the Navy ABC/123 Stickers for the title and number circles from the A Year to Remember Monthly Stickers to record the date. I added a few  stickers and die-cut to the journal box and wrote my journaling with the Black Dual-Tip Pen.

To decorate the sides of the Multi-Pocket Pages, I trimmed two pieces of the Striped paper to ½” x 12” and trimmed two pieces of the Polka Dot paper to ¾” x 12”. I carefully cut a small slit at the top of each of the side “pockets” with the exacto knife and slid the decorative paper strips down into each one.

To create this layout, you will need:

– Crop 4 photos down to 2” squares

– To create the “title” squares, use the Navy ABC/123s, stick a letter to the centre of one of the white circles and mat that with one of the A Year To Remember circles. Use a foam square to adhere that to the centre of one of the A Year To Remember squares and use a tape runner to mat that with the white square. Repeat until you have four that spell out “LIFE”.

– To create the photo squares simply adhere the photo square to the A Year To Remember square and then adhere to the white square. Repeat this until all four photos are matted.

– Cut 2 white squares measuring 5-1/4”

– Cut 2 squares out of the A Year To Remember Paper Pack measuring 5”

– Crop two photos down to 4-3/4” squares

– Adhere your photos to the A Year To Remember squares and then mat them onto the white squares.

– Leaving a 3/4” boarder around your layout, adhere your squares down to a beige 12” X 12” piece of cardstock.

– Add embellishments!

* Journalling is printed right onto the photo. Shown in two fonts to demonstrate how personalized you can make journalling even if you are printing it out :)
