Project Life: Collages

So you may have read my '5 for Friday' last week where I talked about this cool instagram collage that 'Just About Everything' posted on her blog with a little tutorial. It's worth checking out if you instagram!

I loved the look and wanted to replicate something similar for my Project Life album.

Here's what I came up with while cropping with the girls on Friday night:

January



February



I had the pictures printed on an 8 by 10 photo print from my local developer and then cropped it to fit my paper nicely. I ended up going with an 8.5 by 12 page rather than 8.5 by 11. That extra inch really made a difference in the space for my titles at the top.

I've given some thought to what kind of page protector I want to put it in and I think I'm going to use a 12 by 12 protector and then just sew down the side of it and add some 'highlight' notes to a piece of cardstock to add to the other section.

Here's what it looks like-sorry the pic isn't great-in the page protector.



I was a much busier 'instagramer' in February than January-I actually had to cut down a few pics in order to fit in this many! Turns out I LOVE instagram according to my iphoto program! But, really this kind of collage is a great way to see your 'month at a glance'.

Still not sure what I'm putting on the other side of these collage page protectors! I'm thinking something very simple but I'm up to hearing suggestions?! What would you put in that little section to the right?! Or would you move the layout to the left and use that side?! decisions, decisions!

Have a great day!
