Last week, the day before my birthday (50!) just use what I have (and now would be the perfect spot to plug my newly released Christmas digital templates

I used one of my 4x8 templates for the journaling page (HERE) and made the red card on the left with One week I had not even thought about presents, the next week the tree was bursting with wrapped gifts

I started sketching out some simple template ideas when I remembered I'd already made a template that would work well for this - my abandoned Project Life template. My plan is to try and do a digital spread every week to be printed as an 8x10 photobook. I'm not going to note down every single thing we ate in a week, but I'd like to document the main things I'm starting this week - I don't believe year-long projects have to start in January or even on the first

We've had a wet week in Sydney (more forecast for next week) so I wanted to document my love for a rainy For this page, I used a template from my 4x8 set (HERE). For this page, I used a template from my 4x8 set (HERE) with some Google images.

DIGITAL PLANNER PAGES I'm using my digital planner templates to document our weeks this year (as version I'm hoping that filling those little boxes each week isn't too much of a chore and I'm excited to be I'm currently a week behind and that's how it usually goes for me. I have the templates for these pages in my shop in various sizes if you want to give it a try. MY SHOP The goal is to just keep adding products - digital templates, album kits and journal cards mostly

I knew I would be using the 4x8 December templates from my shop so I used a red label to match in with This is my template set, available (HERE): For day one, I used a selfie because I just wanted to set I've used one of my 4x8 templates but changed the configuration a bit. I took this photo in the city earlier in the week and used a Paislee Press circle stamp and the mistletoe Other notes: I'm using the same fonts from my templates in my project for cohesion.

Hey friends - today I'm sharing how my 4x5 December Daily is shaping up after week two. So, on to my week two pages.. It was a good but stressful week so I marked that with this cool Push Print card. I also made a cover for my book this week. I wanted something very simple and came up with this. So that's week two. Thanks for reading.

People are taking digital templates of planner pages, loading them into an app like Goodnotes on their very simple, uncluttered paper diary to manage my life but having a little embellished record of our week I wouldn't be using this project to plan my week - I'd work on the spreads at the end of the week as

As is a running theme around here, I am a few weeks late to the new year. So today I'm playing some records (Andy Williams Sings the Movie Hits), sitting at my desk and thinking I want to make projects for me and products for my shop (especially templates) a priority.

I've been happily working on my little handmade 4x5 December Daily album this week. I'm planning a weekly blog post to share the pages I've made during that week with links to supplies I did a lot this first week because I was just so excited to get started (plus I had a few foundation I always like documenting new ornaments and last week my mother-in-law sent the kids one each. So that's a week in the book. It has been fun so far to work on this little album.

I've made various test templates but have just decided to stick with a tried and true grid which mirrors I created an 8x10 grid template in Photoshop Elements (PSE) then expanded it to 16x10 so I can work on each week #lazy).

For my 100 Songs Project, I just type in a few lines on the existing template (by Cathy Zielske) add I've averaged out about 20-30 5x8 pages per month so far, some are single and some are double spreads I try not to let a week go by where nothing happens with these.
