Another week down in my 2023 Project Life album.
What I Used
6x12 linen album + page protectors from Studio Calico (no longer available)
Fun Digital Storyteller Kit from Ali Edwards
Vellum Rainbow Embellishments from the Awesome Story Kit by AE (no longer available)
Tim Holtz Tiny Attacher
Epson XP 15000 Wide Format printer
Tidbits + Takeaways
I don’t worry about making tuck-spots like the ones I created for this layout accessible from outside the page protector in spreads like this. Instead, I add a tab to my journaling insert and tuck the whole card into the pockets. Simple, easy, and no-fuss.
Adhering the pocket piece flush against the base can make the pocket a bit too tight. So I adhere the front part of the pocket to the base on top of whatever will ‘live’ in the pocket just to give a bit of extra wiggle room.
If you’re unconcerned about bulk or adding a thicker insert into your tuck-in spot, you can also pop up your pocket with foam dots.
Something to Think About
It’s easy to feel like a kit with a topic like FUN requires documenting a week that is equally fun. Week 11 of 2023 was not one of those FUN weeks—stuffy noses, fevers, and naps dominated.
And that's ok.
I used the FUN Storyteller kit to document the little spots of joy within the week that I might not have written about otherwise.
This layout is an ode to the fun moments we experienced this week alongside the not-so-great ones.
However if that approach doesn’t work for you, feel free to cover up/add embellishments from your stash to the patterns and journal cards included in the kit.
In case you’re in need of this reminder like I was this week, make the kit work for your memories not the other way around!
