Hey everyone! I'm back to share the second project that I created for Kellie Stamps, once again using her new Routine digital stamp set. I loved the clock face stamp, and the idea of pairing it with the numbers to document my daily routine on work days.
I decided to go with a 6x12" pocket page spread. I brainstormed my day and how many "times" I wanted to represent to tell my story. I settled on eight photos, and knew it would work well on a 6x12" spread, using 3x4" photos.
As I usually do on both 6x12" and 6x8" spreads, I decided to include a separate journaling page in between the two pages. When working with a 6x12" spread, I usually go with a 4x11" insert, as it's super easy to trim down a 8.5x11" page protector (I simply machine stitch all the way down, and then cut off the excess).
Apparently, I had a lot to say in my journaling, once I started breaking down my day. I used the "morning", "afternoon", and "evening" digital stamps to split up my journaling a little.
For my title card, I started with a few digital patterned papers. All of the digital papers that I used for this spread are from the High Street Stories kit from One Little Bird. I used the "routine" & "everyday" digital stamps from the Routine set, and added in the "current" digital stamp (was currently, but I shortened it) from her new Currently 2020 set.
The "coffee coffee coffee" digital stamp is from Kellie's Coffee Loading set.
For each photo, I knew that I wanted to add a small piece of patterned paper along the bottom. Since I ended up using digital papers, each of these photos is exactly that - a single layer image that includes the photo, a patterned paper, and the digital clock face and time. Once I printed them out, I added a small staple on either side of the time. So the small staples are the only physical product on this spread.
This is a look at the backside of the journaling page.
With my current hours at work, I feel like I've been struggling to get much done on days that I work. I'm not new to retail hours, as I worked in grocery/warehouse stores for 15 years before I did daycare. And I'm totally fine working a non-traditional 8-5 job (not that I've ever had one of those).
It can be hard though, as my "free time" is split into two different times of the day. I have a little bit of time in the morning, before leaving for work. And a chunk of time in the evening, after I get home from work. It's like there's not enough time in the morning to really accomplish anything, and I'm too tired in the evening to do anything after working hard all day. Let's just say the struggle is real most days.
The "work. work. work. work." digital stamp is from Kellie's Work Life set.
