On the Green

This week, Heart 2 Heart has partnered up with Double Trouble to create a Green inspired challenge!

For some reason, my brain did not immediately think of St Patrick's Day but a golfing green, and I knew I had this green paper in my stash, so this card came together very quickly using the My Hole In One Stamp Set and Thin Cuts. The only embellishment I added was some wood look sequins.

This card was made specifically for a golf-loving boss of mine, and so I hope he likes it! Thanks for stopping by today. 

Pocket Power Technique Blog Hop

Welcome to our Technique Blog Hop!  This month there are 9 of us showcasing pockets in our projects- this could be flip flaps, pocket pages or even journalling pockets.

This blog hop is a great big circle so you can start wherever you want and continue through to see all the fabulous artwork incorporating this technique.

If you are coming from Miss Carrie's Creations you are on the right track!

The thing I love about the Pocket Pages is their ability to mix and match with traditional 12x12 page layouts. The new Into The Wild Deluxe Scrapbooking Kit  comes with a mix of these, as well as full instructions on creating your own double page layouts with both 12x12 and pocket pages.

Here is the full double page layout, which I will be using for photos of my son's school camp.



Here's a closer look at the Pocket Page- I love the mix of photo sizes as well as the layout ideas so that you don't have to guess where your photos should go!



You can fit a lot of detail into each pocket- here I've used a combination of patterned paper, fussy cutting, Cricut shapes and stamping in order to add some extra touches and tell the story behind the photos.



A lot of the Deluxe workshops now come with a combination of 12x12 and Pocket Page projects, which I highly recommend if you are new to scrapbooking or just have a lot of photos to get through. The pocket pages make layouts quick and easy, and also use a minimum of paper and cardstock and you can really make your embellishments and journalling stand out.

Now HOP on over to see what Tamara has created!

Little Moments, Big Memories

My two boys are growing up so fast, and I am creating lots of layouts to remind me of the small moments as well as all the big events in our lives.

When I saw this patterned paper from the into The Wild Paper Packet, I immediately thought of the pattern of the shirts I had purchased for my boys when I was in Fiji, and so a layout was born!




I used some of the leftover triangles from my Deluxe Scrapbooking workshop as accents, and then I also created the journalling box using my handwriting mixed with some words from one of the Paper Packet designs. The journal box is a woodgrain pattern from the Sweet Girl PML cards.

I finished off my layout with some simple sequin clusters so that the journalling and photo took centre stage of the layout.
