10 POCKET PAGE TIPS TO INSPIRE/A CHERRY ON TOP

Good morning, friends! Last month, I went to a weekend crop with my friends and I finally made the friendship album I have been wanting to make...I've been so busy working on design team projects that it was on the back burner. However, I scrapped for myself all weekend and it felt great! I'm sad though...because this is one of those projects I wish I had filmed! It was so much fun to make! For these pocket pages, I am using 49 & Market's Curiosities in Willow Grovecollection. I'm also using the 6x8 Album to store these gorgeous pages. It's such a beautiful collection with the gold foiling and transparency die cuts. I JUST LOVE IT ALL.

Here are 10 pocket page tricks to apply on your next pocket page album to make them shine!

1. Use foiled embellishments to add shimmer to your pocket page spread.
2. Apply rub-ons to photos and journaling cards, and layer them with die cuts for dimension.
3. Cut transparency die cuts in half to use on a different pocket page spread.
4. Use metal dies to create interactive pockets with hidden tags.
5. Mount die cuts to the page using foam squares to add dimension.
6. Apply tag to 3x4 journaling card and embellish with rub-ons, die cuts and other desired embellishments.
7. Try sticking with a color scheme across the pockets to keep a cohesive appearance.
8. Use a Cannon Selphy to print 3x4 photos.
9. Cut floral die cuts in half and use part of the flower as a border at the bottom of the journaling card with a label.
10. Have fun, and enjoy the process!

The layers across these pocket pages make my heart happy. I just love all the beautiful embellishments.

My favorite embellishments from the Curiosities in Willow Grove collection are the rub-ons, and foiled embellishments! I couldn't get enough of them. They add so much to the pocket pages and they are so pretty.

As you can see, I used a variety of rub-ons on the photos and journaling cards. Also, I cut a few of the transparency die cuts to use only half of the circle so I could use them on other pages throughout the album. I added a die cut frame to the tag and added the greenery and butterfly along with the sentiment for one of the pockets. Aren't these pocket pages gorgeous?!

I added some patterned paper to the pocket that comes with the album. Next, I added a variety of rub-ons and die cuts. I folded one of the notebook pages in half and glued both sides together to create a fun insert page for the album. Then, I added the transparent die cut and a few rub-ons to fill int he white space. 

I hope you found these pages inspiring! I had so much fun working on this album. Check back on the blog on April 16th as I'll be sharing 6x8 pages from this album! I have a variety of pocket pages and 6x8 scrapbook pages to inspire. 

Thank you for visiting today!
