working with square photos

I got this note from Suzanne in Texas. Great inspiration to pass along.

Project Life is giving me a creative outlet … and a confidence to produce something that looks attractive even in it’s simplest form and doesn’t require more time than I have to work on it. I am loving it so far.

I was thrilled to see the release of the digital products through JessicaSprague.com and the photo books on Shutterfly. I love it! I bought the Cobalt Core Kit and also some of the digital papers and elements of the Cobalt edition. This is something I like to do with my Instagram photos in my Project Life book. I take my Instagram photos and open them in Photoshop. The Instagram photo is about 4×4 and I put it into a 4×6 file and then add a digital paper to the back.

Sometimes I add text or other Project Life elements to it also. Then I can print my Instagram photos along with all my other 4×6 photos and they fit in the Photo Pocket Pages without hassle. Thank you for Project Life, I have really enjoyed every minute I spend working on it!

    Wow, this is a completely sensible idea and I am smacking myself for not thinking of it! I have the digital kits! Thanks for sharing Suzanne’s great idea.

    This is wonderful! I have really been stuggling with getting all of my 4×6′s, instagrams + stories into my pages. This is a great way to get even more bang from my project life! Genius, I tell ya!

    This sounds like what I’m doing. Still finishing up 2011 and current with 2012. Started both with the paper core kit and now I am also adding digital to both. I like that I have options.

    Love this idea!

    This might be a dumb question, but when you print the digital files, do you print them on photo paper? Do you just send them to a lab like you would photos?

    WOW…This is just a fantastic idea. Loved it.

  10. Suzanne says:

    Ashley, you could print them at home or send them to a photo lab. Since the file is a 4×6 (normal) print size, I just save as a .jpeg and then send it to a photo lab. I usually upload them to Walgreens and then pick up in store.

    I’m stalking Amazon’s site hoping the products I want will be available soon, will the turquoise core kit be available soon? I’m new to PL and so excited about this. :)
