THE PROCESS:
I am fairly new to pocket pages- this is only the second one I have done! I have always been drawn to the look of a pocket page layout so I was excited to try this! I kept it simple by choosing only a few colors- black, white, pink, and gold. Choosing a color scheme will always make your project look pulled together even if you are using different products from different brands.
I went ahead and cut my paper down into 2×2 squares so they will easily slip into the pockets. I arranged the papers inside the pockets and then moved on to embellishing. I did some stamping and embossing on the top left pocket, and then added a little pink color to the corner of that square with some Spun Sugar Distress Ink.
I then stamped and embossed a butterfly and some arrows in gold. These I adhered to the front of my pocket pages. I think embellishing the outside of your pockets just adds another fun unexpected element to your layout!
For the bottom left square, I used a Heidi Swapp stencil and brushed on some more Spun Sugar Distress ink to create a partial image of a heart. Over that, I stamped a Heidi Swapp stamp that says, “With All My Heart”. The whole stamp didn’t fit on the square, but I really love the look of having it partially showing!
I cut down my photo to a 2×2 square then slipped it into the pocket with a pink glittery Heidi Swapp frame. I know it’s always been my husband’s deep desire to be framed in pink glitter, so I did that just for him!
The bottom right square is some ribbon stripe paper that I adhered a stamped and embossed flower to. The last square next to the photo is some paper from 7 Gypsies. I also adhered a tiny banner to the front of this square with some glitter paper that I die cut.
That pretty much finished my pocket page layout! All that was left for me to do was to clip this page into place in my planner. I can’t wait to get busy doing another pocket page! I love how quickly they can come together and since you don’t need a lot of paper, you can even use up some of those scraps you’ve been hoarding!
