Project Life 2012 - Week Two (Part 1)

Week Two - Sunday/Monday
Project Life Week Two! Lots of pages for my album this week as we have been away on a family holiday. We have taken so many great photos that I had too many to share on a single spread - so, I decided to roll with it and give each day from our trip it's own page.

Here are the first four pages for Week Two. I have another two on the go, but I still need to finish the journalling for them - that is my task on my flight back to Melbourne this afternoon. Each week will have a different patterned/coloured background to distinguish it from the weeks before and after it. For week two I went for a blue and yellow theme to suit the colours in all our beach photos!

Week Two - Tuesday

Week Two - Wednesday

Week Two - Thursday
The pages for my album are all pretty similar, based around the same template that I created for Week One but with little tweaks depending on the photos and the amount of journalling I want to include. The design is simple, but it is working for me. I wanted to keep it clean and easy, so that I will still be able to quickly whip up some pages later in the year when life gets a little busier than it is right now.

The more time I'm spending working on this album, the more sure I am that going digital is the best way for me this year. I nearly always have my MacBook with me, so using digital makes it easy for me to work on my album bit by bit, throughout the day, where ever I am. I have been keeping my InDesign document open and minimized, so that I can flick in and add things whenever I have a spare moment.

Is anyone else participating in some form of Project Life this year? What is working for you? How are you approaching it?
