Hey Newbies,
I'm here working on number 12 of my 365 Page Layout Challenge 2019. I will try to list everything I used below and try to link up to where you can purchase them if you happen to like any of them.
Today I chose to do a pocket layout. I don't do many of these and actually discovered them by mistake. I picked up a box of 12 x 12 layout protectors that were on clearance at Walmart (SCORE!) or at least I thought it was a score...AND HERE COMES LESSON #1; always READ the fine print, or at least look at the picture on the box!🤦🏻♀️ I didn't discover they were pocket protectors until I got them home and who wants to run back to Walmart for under a $10 return?
I actually had to YOUTUBE how to use these and found a lot of layouts. The one I liked the most was on Scrapbook.com (if you haven't been to their website lately they have a TON of FREE how to videos that are amazing!
I do like using these when I have multiple photo layouts, who am I kidding, 99.9% of my layouts are multiple photo layouts, but I still find using these brings a little bit of difference to your album so I mix a few in just to mix it up.
This one is of my son when he was about 3. He was doing these cute faces and even back then I always had a camera snapping photos.
These pocket layouts are pretty easy and if you are brand new to scrapbooking it might be a good place to start. But keep in mind, it's not just to stick a photo in and you are done. Make it your own, get creative, make it a layout!
I added an Epoxy flair from my favorite Flair girl from Scrappin Happy Studios. I backed my photos before putting them in with card stock and Becky Higgins Project Life cards. With a "Hello" die cut, a mom, a heart and a few other stickers. I also used my foam rubber alpha stamps from Joann's to stamp out the words "LOOK AT ME".
On the Right side, the pockets are vertical so I took a couple of Project Life cards and backed them with a red card stock scrap from my stash to pull the red color in his pants and make the photo pop a little more. The little camera on those cards was perfect!
I added the chipboard ribbon "CHERRISH THE LITTLE THINGS" and I stamped 1993 (the year I took the photo) and added the "HI" at the bottom of the card. The one below it, I stuck on a clear "YEAH I KNOW I'M TROUBLE..." sticker and a black sticker with sparkles on it that says "CUTE".
This layout took me less than a half hour to put together once I went through my stash and found what I wanted to use.
Thanks for following along on my journey of 365 scrapbook page challenge that I am doing, and reading about the lessons I'm learning along the way!

Happy Scrapping🤗
