When I paper scrap, I do a lot of pages like this. If you're going to make a hybrid page, I would do the following:
1. Remove the middle photo from your digital page and replace it with journaling. Print.
2. Print the photo you want to cover the journaling, leaving a 1/2-inch border on the top.
3. Fold the border back so that it is behind your photo. Use this as the hinge and adhere to your layout. You may want to print on it to make the color match your background. I like to use a sewing machine to attach the hinge to the page--sometimes glue doesn't hold as well for me.
4. Insert your page into a standard page protector. Using masking tape or some other removeable tape, mark on the page protector a line that is where the top of your hinged photo opens--you will need to cut a slit in the page protector for the photo that is slightly longer on than the top edge of your hinged photo.
5. Remove your page from the protector and insert a piece of cardboard or something to keep you from cutting in to the backside of the protector. Use a craft knife (X-acto) and a ruler to carefully slit the top layer of the page protector along the line you marked with the tape...it should be 1/4 inch wider on each side than your hinged photo.
6. Remove the tape and cardboard and insert your page carefully, making sure to slip your hinged photo through the slit.
I have many, many pages with these types of interactive elements in them and have never had a problem cutting into a page protector. There might be some way you could find a special protector for the hinged photo, but I've never needed one...
Hope this helps! Have fun with your project!
