Hey friends! Today I have a project life page to share with you from one of our weeks spent at the beach this summer. I used elements from the new Magic Hour Collection to complete this spread.
Close up of the left side.
I took this selfie shot with my iPhone. This photo encompassed so many things that I knew I wanted to enlarge it and have it take up an entire page protector. The previous page that I had used was a design A protector so instead of add new protector I made my photo work with what I had. This met trimming the photo up and slicing my face into 4 different parts…. I think this breaks design rules somewhere…. but I also think this proves that it can work too!

I changed the color of the background of the magic card to the blue of the paper in the Magic Hour collection.
I had two more vertical photos that I wanted to add to the spread, so I decided to enlarge them to a 5×7 and add an insert.
I used a vertical 5×7 Becky Higgins Photo Protector. This photo is of Lilykate running up and down the beach.

Remember there are no rules when it comes to documenting your memories… do what works for you…. it’s your album and your memories!

Good to see you MaryAnn. I’ve been a fan of your PL layouts since l discovered you on Becky Higgins previous PL Creative Team. 🙂
Love your work, that 12×12 enlargement is kickin’ !
Love this, Maryann. The colors in the journaling cards are perfect. Love the swap on the navy background. I bought the bundle and can’t wait to put it to use now! Thanks for sharing. xo, C
What a beautiful layout! I love it. I keep wanting to blow up a picture to 12×12 like that, and usually I’m just worried that an iphone pic will be too grainy (I end up with an excessive amount of iphone pics every week), but you’ve convinced me that it’s totally fine. Looks great.
Wow! Love the cohesiveness of your page. Great idea to switch out the colour of the card to give punch to the LO. Now I’m off to check out your blog…
Gorgeous photos MaryAnn!! 🙂
So pretty! Is there a tutorial out there that explains how to spread a photos across multiple sleeves? I see the effect often, but time and again, the process eludes me.
