I’m still doing it – taking a photograph every day.
On the left – January’s collage; on the right, the first page of photos
For 2013 I’ve abandoned the Project Life albums and weekly spreads, and gone back to the system I used in 2010, making a monthly series of pages. To begin, a collage made from the month’s collection of bits and pieces (did you know the word for that is “ephemera”? Isn’t that a lovely word?).
The next two pages with photos from January
Then most of the photos for the month, with the date and a brief annotation if required, simply slotted into divided page protectors. For 2013 I want to display every photo, so I am using two sheets (that’s 24 photos, with 6 to a side).
On the left the final page of photos; on the right the first of two layouts made celebrating a January theme.
Finally, a layout (or two) using the remaining photos.
My second layout for January, and on the right the collage to begin February’s pages.
The first of the layouts I made for January celebrates my rediscovery of cycling:
I used a technique from Shimelle Lane, and took an artsy photo of that detail:
The second layout was inspired by the captions I wrote on three of the photos – they all ended with the words “at the library”:
The background was inspired by this post from Big Picture Classes; I had a lot of fun making it and it was just right for the library layout.
