So I saw that PL will have a new kit, exclusive to Home Shopping Network in the USA, that will include some interesting changes – it will have 2×2 and 4×4 pockets. Well, who could resist playing with that?
I had a bash at converting a few of my previous printables to coordinate, colour-wise and size-wise.
The PDF is here.
but I just noticed the 1 is too close to the bottom edge. Give me an hour and I’ll sort it. Sorted!
I also saw there were clear overlays, to allow you to add a photo over a pocket to create a flip-up. I thought that the Avery full-sheet clear sticker labels might work as a substitute so I had a play with THAT as well.
-
- Cut the photos
-
- pick the PL card for the back of the flip
-
- Stick the sticker over the photo. Leave a hinge at the top
-
- Decorate the hinge with a rub-on or sticker
-
- Stick the hinge to the top of the pocket on the outside of the PP
-
- Flip up to view and/or journal
I cut the flip photo a bit smaller, mostly because I messed up with the cropping of the behind photo. I should have shifted DD either more left or more right so the photo on top covered just background. I think the photo needs to be SHORTER in any case so the hinge part isn’t on the photo above. I didn’t have any divided PPs so just imagine that corner of a normal PP is actually a Project Life one {wink}
Not as perfect as the commercial overlays but I am sure I read someplace that they are sold out anyway, so this would certainly work as a substitute. The only issues are that the sticker sheet needs to be pressed down quite firmly to the photo to make sure it is as sheer as possible. There is a SLIGHT haze, due to the texture. One benefit is you could PRINT on to it if you wanted to before you do the overlay.
I wonder if that kit, and the different PPs will become available in the UK at some point…..???
