Day in the Life: March 2013

I had so much fun with Day in the Life this month. I documented some of the day on Friday, ran out of steam by the evening, and started over on Saturday.  That was a very eventful day and I liked that.
Overall, I used the same format as I have in previous months (January + February).  A month divider. One sheet of cardstock, divided among two page protectors to hold my photos and journaling.
I used a piece of patterned paper cut to 4x7 as my monthly divider.  Simply embellished with a doily, small black BG letters, and some seam binding.  Love that stuff.
I had placed the pink clothespin on there to keep the seam binding in place while I stitched it, but decided to leave it in place.

These notebooks from Target are definitely inspiring me.

I used watercolors to add confetti dots to this page. The vellum garland just seemed to match, and I was able to continue it throughout my pages of journaling. 


My hands are definitely not that steady so I used a round wood veneer to get evenly shaped circles.

I added the times with letter stickers - brown, blue, and white.  I used washi tape to hold the

Lots of words + a little wood camera and more vellum garland. I like how it continues the look of stitching from the divider, but without all the effort.  Hopefully you can see how the 6x12 sheet of cardstock is folded over and tucked into the page protector to create extra space for journaling.

I paired this new Amy Tangerine cityscape stamp, stamped in grey and colored in with watercolors. I may sometimes dip my brush in old tea and wipe it off on my grey sweatshirt because I am a very conscientious painter like that.

I made a few printables for Day in the Life, or Project Life, from my watercolor design.  You can save the images here: March & April.
