All About Me Challenge No. 5
Welcome to the next All About Me Challenge! This week’s assignment is not a new idea but it’s a great way to capture those tiny bits of your life that make up who you are right now. It’s entitled “A Day in the Life.” We will also repeat this assignment towards the end of the year.
It’s a very easy assignment but one that takes just a bit of planning. Choose any day of the week and photograph your activities as you go about your regular routine. You will want to take at least 3-4 photos that day but you may want to take a lot more. A layout might include photos such as these: your kitchen as you cook breakfast, the kids as they leave for school, your cup of coffee, the drive to work, a meeting with your co-workers, the laundry, a grocery run in the afternoon, your hubby coming home, the kids going to bed and then you logging onto DD as you settle into your evening. The point is to take photos of the everyday routine that you have and to focus on the details that you might otherwise overlook.
We were very lucky this week to have community member Denise Gormish help us out on this challenge. I have known Denise for years and her gallery is one of my absolute favorites! She is a master of clean and simple scrapping and every layout that she makes is an inspiration to me.
Denise’s layout is entitled “It’s So Typical” and her photos tell such a great story of her daily routine. And I also love that she included two photos of herself - we often forget to put ourselves in front of the camera and I love that she included these photos.
Supplies: School Album Layered Template Set (12 x 12 ), Drawn Blossoms No. 01, Negative Sleeves No. 03, Drop Shadow Styles Collection, This Is The Day Word Art, Just Linens Paper Pack No. 04, Weathered Neutrals Paperie No. 05, Absolutely Acrylic: Arrows
Creative Team member, Kari, documented her daily routine for us, also. Kari’s photos are full of color and fun and her journaling is detailed and goes through her entire (very long!) day. Fantastic glimpse into her life right now!
Supplies: The Story Word Art + Hand Drawn Brushes, The Story of Today Overlays, Grid No. 02 Layered Templates
My daily routine is not entirely typical right now since we’re in the middle of buying a new house but I’m hoping that my family will enjoy looking back on this time as a new adventure for us.
Supplies: Ali Edwards Layered Template No. 33, Caught Red Handed Kit, La Cremerie: Fruits Noirs Kit, This Is The Day Word Art
I hope you’ll join in with us on this challenge and preserve a day in your life. I can’t wait to see your layouts!
