Hi. I just discovered the joys of instagram. I hated photos taken with my iPhone and now I love them! I was wondering if any of you use instagram and how you incorporate the square photos into your PL layouts. I have decided not to print at home after all. I'll bring my photos to the camera store in my neighborhood that does old fashioned chemical developing. Their prints are gorgeous! I'm thinking for the 3x4 journaling squares I'll put 2 instagram photos on a 4x6 space using PSE 9 and have the two photos printed as a 4x6 photo and the I'll cut them in half. I figure this will save money. How do you fill the rest of the slot when using a square photo if you are actually using the plastic pockets? What size do you make your instagram photos? What do you do to fill the 4x6 or 3x4 slot if you don't want to journal in the same slot as your instagram? Do you have any creative ideas other than just putting paper behind the square photo? I hope this all makes sense! I look forward to your responses! Thanks so much for your help, Roni
 
I taped and stapled mine on in this one


You can also just put in a journaling card or your favorite paper and stick it on top in the center or something like that

Hi Roni! I love using my iPhone pics for my PL. It's so much easier than lugging a huge Nikon around all of the time. I either use the ones I do in Instagram and make them into a 2x2, 300 for resolution in Photoshop, or I'll crop it down to a 2x2 or even a 3x3 and then add a white border. Just make sure your resolution is at 300 :D
 
Btw Heather, I'm in love with your PL page!!! :beat
 
I've had fun using instagrams in mine. I've used some with just border a printed them for a pocket, some I've done in a more digi way. (Top left pic and bottom left pic are both instagrams.)



In the top instagram, I've used Jacque's Instaframes, which I really like for a more scrapped look.

In the bottom one, I've simply printed it and layered it with Amy Jaz's 3 x 4 overlays.

I've used them in all of mine. Here's how I've used them:

With a cardstock background:

again...cardstock background and also with Lili's photo collages:

and more with Lili's photo collages, on cardstock or journaling cards, and also with Gina's:

I love using my instagram photos...and when I put them all on Lili's photo collages, I'll actually print them out like at since they are 4x6. So far my album has been digi because I'm waiting on page protectors, but I do plan to print them like that.
 
I have several more of Gina's goodies on my wishlist Heather. They are perfect!!

these two for sure:

oh, those are all awesome too, Debra... shoot, my wish list is getting huge... Mark's going to be tired of me batting my eyeslashes at him and saying "please, I NEEEEEEED them" LOL
 
These pages look so fabulous! I'm loving them. I have some of the supplies I see some of you have used. Now I just want more! The simple journalers, big old' tags and the frames with room are now on my must have list! I'm getting some ideas how I can use the instagrams with what I have! This is so helpful!
