Back to School

It's a new Project Pocket challenge at Paper Issues.  I documented the start of last school year with Simple Stories Old School.  This was fun to put together and get into the album.  I love mixing it up and adding pocket pages into my albums when the spirit moves me or time is ticking!

A few close up looks:

Use up those text stickers, random stickers, and extra labels on your pocket cards.Add messy threads, flair, and enamel dots for texture and interest!

Add washi tape on top of your photos for a fun layer of text or pattern to cover plain parts of your photos.

I hope you will check out this fun challenge on the PI Blog. 

 An easy way to get started is to use your cut apart papers

 that are usually included in each collection.

Project Pocket: 4th of July

Today we are playing with Pocket Pages and showing you a few holidays we've documented on the PI Blog.  I used lots of new Photo Play Paper to document last year's fourth of July.
Any holiday photos will work for this month's pocket challenge!

 Flair, sequins, stickers, and paper scraps are great to use up on pockets!

Pink Paislee Sweet Freedom stickers worked with these photos. The star vellum adds a transparent layer that is fun when doing pocket pages.

Have a great weekend!  Hope you'll try a pocket page project and add it to the Facebook album for July challenges!

Project Pocket: The Mouse & Me

A new challenge at Paper Issues is live on the blog today: Project Pocket!  I pulled out my new stash of Simple Stories Say Cheese III.  My son had an epic experience with meeting Mickey Mouse on Main Street.  Mickey grabbed Ryan's hand and walked him over to kiss Minnie Mouse and then paraded him further to his meet and greet spot!

A few close ups to see more Simple Stories, Mickey Mouse and Ryan:

I cut down larger Simple Stories pocket page cards to fit in the 3x4 pockets.  Layering chipboard stickers, cardstock stickers, flair and enamel dots are an easy way to personalize pocket page cards and to create dimension in the pockets.

My enamel dot Mickey to add more pops of black against the darker red.

Thanks for stopping by!  It was fun to get back into the Project Life style creating and get more pictures into albums!
I hope you'll try out the new Pocket Project challenge and get creating layouts and scrapping in the pockets!
