Pocket Page

I am happy to show you a pocket page I made with the darling June Citrus Twist kit. When I saw the pocket cards I immediately thought they would all go well together. So I printed some 3x4 pictures of some things that have been happening “around here” lately.  

I also loved the papers that came in the kit. I incorporated them into the project by punching out butterflies using my die cut. I added them to the cards with a staple.

I like to think of the cards as being mini layouts. I add some flair to each of them and then put them all together in their pockets.  

I added lots of simple journaling to this layout. I used handwriting on one of the cards, and used typed words for the rest. I typed them on white card stock paper, cut them out, and glued them right on to the photos/cards with a glue stick. I love that you can add them directly onto photos.  

Three things you should try on your next pocket page: 

1. Add some die cut punch shapes (I used a butterfly). 

2. Think of each pocket card as a mini layout and add flair and texture like foam stickers, ephemera, etc.. 

3. Type your journaling and cut it out in strips. Glue onto photos/cards. 

Here’s a video of this project: 

Thanks for joining me today! I hope you got a little inspiration for your projects. Have a great day!

Life Crafted

I had so much fun making the first 2 spreads in my Citrus Twist Life Crafted album. I want my album to be a mix of traditional pages in their sleeves, and also interactive pages. The Life Crafted album is perfect because you can creatively document your life in different ways.

My 6 year old was soo excited to lose his front tooth. It left quite the big hole in his cute smile, and deserved a layout. The kit this month was perfect for this because it had that "Big Life Change" card and that "New Chapter" stamp. 

For the interactive page on the right, I used white cardstock to make 8 rectangles, folded them in half, and glued them on. Then I got to add photos and embellishments to each fun flap. This is one of my favorite things to make with paper! 

The next spread in my Life Crafted album is all about READING. The theme of the kit is obviously what inspired me to make this. 

The pocket on the left is filled with pull out slips of paper including each of our favorite books. I think they will be so fun to look back on in a few years. 

The page on the right includes an instax pic of my son Radley reading his favorite Wimpy Kid book. That Library Borrower's Card is my favorite!  

 I hope you get lots of scrapbooking time in today!  

                                             

Pocket page

I am so excited to be a part of the Citrus Twist team. I absolutely love the March kit: Life Chapters.

I made this pocket page with black and white photos, and beautiful cards, paper, and ephemera from the kit. It's a Valentines day page, but not over the top pink and red. I really like the muted shades and I also love that pop of yellow. I made the banner with coordinating papers to tie it all together. I love banners!

I added some journaling onto this cute 4x6 card with my typewriter. I love that it had a white space to write on.  

Thanks for joining me today! I hope you are documenting your "Life Chapters" too.
