I could not find any photo sleeves in the size I wanted and after lots of scratching my head realised that they had used 12x12 page protectors - not photo sleeves. Thankfully I had some spare ones, so after printing out 31 photos (and using up all the ink in my printer!) I sorted them out and arranged them on 12 x 12 cardstock. I had missed taking photos on a couple of days, so just added in a few extras - in fact the hard part has been choosing just one photo a day, from the tons I take!
I have arranged it so that 2 pages show a weeks worth of photos. I am printing out my journaling via photoshop onto photographic paper so that it fits neatly on the page - but as PSE is a funny beast - this is not as easy as using Word.
Anyway I have learnt lots of lessons : -
1] print out the photo each day.
2] write the journalling each day.
3] wish I had done what SJ has done by printing her journalling directly on to her photo - I am sure that would have made life easier- here & here.
4] Don't crop these photos with a manual setting (as I usually do) crop to 6x4 as this is the size I have to print out for this project!
Here are a few of my pages - sorry for the blue tinge on the photos - they are much whiter than this in real life. I still have to add some stamped flourishes or something similar to the white space on header and journalling spot with white space - after todays frustrations don't quite feel up to that yet.
