Hi everyone! It’s maryann, today I want to share with you week 35 in my Project Life album. This week I had some extra photos that I wanted to include so I decided to include an insert to show those off.
Overview of Week 35 with the front of the insert.
Overview of the first part of Week 35.
I used the His & Hers Journaling cards, papers, and elements on the majority of my cards this week.
Close up of the first part of the week.
On my title card, I used the Meant to be – Alphas to stamp the date on the card digitally. I used the Week in Review cards to highlight our main activities of the week. I used a vellum pocket as a photo overlay and stuck additional journaling behind the pocket.

Overview of the second part of the week.
Close up of the second part of the week. I used elements from the On My Desk Collection to dress up the journaling cards.
Front of insert page. I used Becky Higgins Photo Pocket Design G. The Summer is my favorite is one of my favorite digital brushes!
The back of the insert. For the 4×6 card, I placed two 3×4 journaling cards side by side on a 4×6 document to give me a larger card for journaling. I used the We circle tags & stamps to create the circle tag and attached that on top of my journaling card.

I love your layouts – thank you for sharing. Any tips on how you did the full page photo on the “Summer is my favorite”? I do my Project Life digitally and can’t figure out how to do that.
Thank you!
Hi Tiffany,
Thank you!! I love adding enlargements to my Project Life spreads. After I had edited my photo and had it the size I wanted to print it ( in this case it was the entire size of a photo pocket design G page protector 8×12) I opened a new file. I opened the Summer is my favorite png. I wanted the color to be white, so I selected the edit tab and clicked on fill layer, a grey box appeared, and I chose white for the color. I chose 100% opacity and clicked enter. This changed the color. Then I selected command a (on a Mac) control a (on a PC) for select all and then command c (on a Mac) control c (on a PC) to copy. Then I went back to my photo and hit command v (on a Mac) control v (on a PC) to paste the png onto the image. Then you are able to use the mouse tool to move the png file anywhere on the photo. I used my ruler tools to make sure that the png would be in an area that would not be cut. Once it was in a position I liked I flattened the image and printed it.
To cut the image I simply placed it behind my page protector and measured accordingly. I used my ruler for some of it but for the majority of the print I eyeballed it. I was willingly to let go of the imperfections to achieve the overall look that I wanted…. and I love how it turned out!!! I hope I answered your question!!!
