POCKET PAGES
Petra Corcoran - The Jot Team
I do quite a lot of journaling on my Project life layouts and whether it is on my cards or directly on the photos I use my computer to do almost all of it. This page is a typical layout and has four lots of journaling included in the one 12x12 page. I am also a creature of habit and tend to stick to a font called Remington Noiseless. It’s a typewriter like font and I really love it. I type the stories and notes up as a layer in Photoshop elements and then print out with the photo if I’m journaling directly onto the photo or I pop a Project Life card (either 3x4 or 6x4) straight into my Epson Picturemate printer. I have worked out over many years of doing this that it is really easy to get the alignment right on the Project Life cards by following these steps. 1. Create a 3x4 or 6x4 canvas in Photoshop depending on what size cards you are using. 2. Drag ruler marks across from the side to top to mark out any areas of design on the cards you don’t want your journaling to print on (hint they are usually 1/2 or 1 inch away from the edge of the card.

Print it!
3. Add a type layer inside your marked out sections. 4. Select font size depending on how much you want to say (I usually use between 9 and 12 point font) 5. Type up your story and print onto your card.
