I wanted to play a little catch up today. I had a couple of pages over the weekend that I didn’t get a chance to work on—so I thought today would be a great opportunity to get some stuff on the page and make sure I’m not falling too far behind.
Today I worked on my pages for days 5 and 6 (Friday and Saturday). On Friday I finished up putting away all the gifts from the baby shower, so I grabbed a bunch of photos of everything we received and added them to the page. I’m feeling pretty well prepared for her arrival. She’s got a ton of clothes, lots of little toys, and we have almost everything that we need for when she gets here. I’ve got a little list of the things we still need to pick up, but my parents said to wait until after the holidays to grab whatever we need, just in case they want to pick up a few more things.
On Saturday, we went to the local theater to see the Merrily We Roll Along pro-shot. We saw Merrily on Broadway when it came out in October of 2023 and it was incredible. I’m a huge fan of Jonathan Groff and Dan Radcliff and it was amazing to see Lindsay Mendez really kill the role of Mary. I love when they do proshots, especially because it’s so much easier to drive 15 minutes to the movie theater than it is to go all the way home for a Broadway show.
Technique of the Day
These were both quick, photo-heavy pages. I spent some time this morning editing and printing out my photos on matte photo paper. Then when it was time for Daily Pages, I just cut out the photos, laid them out in a way that made sense on the page, and then added a little bit of journaling for each one.
I’m loving how this book is coming along so far. The combination of the text-based background pages, and the gold chipboard numbers that I’ve been putting on each page are more than enough to tie the whole album together. I don’t have to worry too much about making the pages themselves feel matchy-matchy.
I’ll be flipping back and forth between catching up, and working on the page from the day before. I’m also planning on doing a full walkthrough of this album when it’s finished. Thanks so much for spending time checking out my creative work, I really appreciate your time :) Hope you get some creative time in yourself soon!
