I typed up “I want to remember…” journaling each day and printed it on cardstock. Those heart pockets from the 2022 Week in the Life collection completely inspired the composition of this double-page spread.

I love capturing a slice of everyday life in different ways and aligning the approach with my available time, energy, and motivation.Ĭreating My Week in the Life Layout for 2022 Some years my Week in the Life project has been all about the photos and in others, like this year, the words were the focus. Similarly, I’ve also completed Week in the Life photo collages, 8×12 pocket pages, digital layouts, and photo book pages. As a result, I planned to use those on a scrapbook layout documenting the selected week in June. This year (2022), I instantly noticed the giant heart pockets featured in the Week in the Life product collection. I know myself and an album project during the busy early summer season just isn’t a good fit for me.

It is popular within the scrapbooking community, with many participants creating smaller 6×8 or 10×8 albums to celebrate their week. Week in the Life is a community project from Ali Edwards to document seven days with words and photos. Richie said “It will be great to get a few more fans but we intend to stay a small, high standard bijou festival for those who appreciate good music in a top quality setting”.I love the concept of the Week in the Life project, but I have taken a more minimalist approach since I started participating in 2010. Weyfest is a true family festival with an eclectic mix of 60 bands set in an open air museum in the heart of the beautiful Surrey Hills, with something to do for all the family and where everything is compact and on your doorstep. Weyfest runs each August in the beautiful setting of the rural life centre in Tilford near Farnham Surrey where artists as diverse as Jools Holland, Squeeze, Scouting for Girls, Boomtown Rats, Echo & The Bunnymen, UB40, 10cc, Gabrielle and many others have plied their trade over the years.įellow directors Richie Ellmer and Ali Edwards, who collected the award on behalf of Weyfest, said “This award is for the entire Weyfest team who work their fingers to the bone each year to put on a great show, as well as the friendly Weyfesters who must be the best festival audience in the UK!”

They had become used to flying under the radar after 13 years of running the festival to a select but knowledgeable group of fans down in Surrey.įestival Director Colin Webb announced “We are over the moon to get this award and it means a lot as it was voted for by the festival goers themselves” No-one was more surprised than the two Weyfest directors who picked up the award for best small festival of 2019 against strong opposition in September’s prestigious Skiddle awards.
