Hey guy's Happy Monday! I had made a goal for myself last week that I wanted to have WITL all done and wrapped up today Monday August 31st - Realistically I was only able to complete Monday & Tuesday - this is more time commitment than I remember it's more detail and well I even found myself second thinking the way I was documenting. I just need to remember all that matters is the stories so I took a step back (worked on sewing my table runner instead) and started again. Here is Monday.
Opening page on Monday I went with the 2x2 page and love it, all those little squares work perfect for your instagram photo's.
Each day I wanted to start out with those transparent dividers I trimmed them down to 3x8 and you bet those wood veneer "days" were used + placed onto with clear roller adhesive.
I also wanted to use those papers that slide into the 3x8 pockets so this one I used my date stamper all over the page and added one of the stamps that came with the kit as well.
On the flip side of that 3x8 paper is the 3x8 prompt card that I loved to use and add more detail of the day.
Totally loved this idea from Ali about adding in 4x6 photo's right into the book without using the pockets this allows you to add more photo's into the book and I had a lot of those so I JUMPED on that idea! I then used the perforated tabs one on each side + stapled with a tiny attacher to create a "tab" to pull the photo over.
I love how these turned out, those little tabs are perfect to add the the edge of the photo's.
I love how this book is getting so many layers in it with the 6x8 the 3x8 the 4x6 it's all layered to see different things peaking through.
On each of these photo's I added a little journaling about the day + date.
I miss my Kayak!
On the next page to the right I wanted to add in all those "times" from the worksheet PDF from Ali that I used to help keep track of the day and so happy I do that. I wrote this out in photoshop on 4x6 and added the stamps in photoshop from the digital kit + date stamped.
Closer look here, this is that 4x6 pocket I trimmed down and stapled the "monday" to the top I originally had this in the bottom half of the page & then moved it up to the centre of the page punching new holes into the pocket so it would fit, Again I like the layered look of it.
I then have the four 3x4 pocket page, adding in more photo's and journal space.
A few more 4x6 photo's added in here again.
This star photo is actually one of my faves.
Ava and My Mom is another Fave.
Adding in this detail of the trip was super important, I want to remember this view - I know that our winters are long here and our trips to our cabin are very few in the cold months.
The last page on the right was a template in Ali's digital set - I think this one was actually Saturday? but I took off the text in photoshop and did a little hybrid paper here as per my past WITL albums. I love how day one Monday turned out.
That's a wrap on Monday will be sharing Tuesday and so on later this week, Thanks for reading & hope you all have a great Monday!!

I love your Monday and how you dealed with the Kit, especially the idea of cutting up the transparencies.
May I asked you which font it is you use for the text on your photos? I love it!
Thanky you and looking forward for the next days.

So happy to see your Monday here, it's gorgeous!! I too second guessed some of my ideas for Monday and the album. Happy Ali posted her Monday pages and how full she made it, so that's what I'm doing too. Also, decided to play with it a bit and adding lots of journaling, will be so good to look back and read these notes.
You did a great job, hope you like it and the rest of it flows easily for you.
LOVE LOVE your table runner on IG, I hope to learn sewing soon and can make one too. Have a good day and thanks for sharing.
