8.5x11 Project Life

    Has anyone done a project life album in 8.5x11 format? I'm always working with that size in whatever albums I do, but I've not tackled project life. Recently (the last couple of years) I've been caught up with smash books, junk journals and paper making.

    I've been asked to take over as the yearbook editor/project leader for my homeschool group again. I had resigned for several years because of personal/health issues. But, since my oldest son has taken up photography and been on the yearbook/journalism staff of the group for a while, it's time for me to step back up I suppose. So, for the 2015-2016 school year, I will be doing the yearbook. And in an attempt to keep things simplified (as opposed to my last stint as editor where everyone got paper, sticker and embellishment happy) I'm thinking that project life would be the way to go.

    Does anyone know of anywhere I could find some free LO templates? What size cards or pictures? Those sorts of things. I'm currently thinking of making Project Life cards out of my scraps from my scrapbooking stash. That would definitely cut down on the cost.

    I don't do Project Life but have found many ideas on pinterest in the 12 x 12 size. I am sure you could adapt those ideas for 8.5 x 11 pocket pages. Let us know what you decide to make.

    there is a new tool coming out that will melt and weld pockets to make them whatever size you want. I think it is called Fuse WRMK- you might find videos about this.

    Well, that's part of my issue. Since this is for a "yearbook" and everything has to be scanned from the originals (there will only be 1 set of originals) I hadn't originally thought about getting the pocket pages. I was going to "copy" some pocket pages onto paper to make some LO templates as guides for the kids. I mean most cards, photo copies, etc. will end up being attached to a plain white background for scanning and reprinting purposes so with double sided cards, only one side would ever be visible. If this was for my personal use, then shaker pockets, etc. would be awesome.
