my latest love has been playing with my heidi swapp journal studio journals and coordinating we r memory keeper accessories.
there truly is SO much to adore here.
i am loving the ability to create beautiful journaled notebook pages...capturing thoughts, photos, notes and momentos all one place.
it really is awesome to transform blank notebook pages and bring them (literally) to life...with LIFE! all the things that make life what it is captured through photos and words. gosh...i just LOVE scrapbooking so so much.
and seriously how fun to be able to play and create with such gorgeous memory keeping product? i just am in love.
i used the we r memory keepers pocket punch board to create some fun interactive elements on this journal spread. i love that with this one little tool you can literally create over 100 pocket sizes!! yes! over 100. you can also create them with either notches or flaps too.
here...let me show you just how quick and easy it can be to create pockets for your journal. in this step out i am sharing how to create a flap styled pocket using the we r memory keepers pocket punch board.
the paper i am using is from the 6x6 emerson lane paper pad. i just love 6x6 paper pads for creating envelopes and pockets. not only do you have numerous patterns and options to choose from for creating pockets but the designs are scaled perfectly so pockets and envelopes turn out beautifully.
inside the punch board you will find this guide which outlines exactly the size of paper you need in order to make the corresponding pocket as well as the punch board information.
so to begin to create my pocket i align the guides into the appropriate notch.
i then cut off one edge.
flip your paper over to cut the opposite edge.
repeat until all 4 sides have been cut.
next pull out the scoring rulers.
place your pocket onto the board and score accordingly, along the guides.
simply fold and adhere using sticky thumb adhesive.
voila! the cutest little pocket that you ever did see.
so fun right?!? i just love having this super easy option avail to me so that i can create all the custom pockets for my journals to hold all the essentials! i mean...just look how cute this tag is tucked inside this pocket...the best!
be sure to get your hands on this pocket punch board asap! you will love adding it to your punch board collection and if you are anything like me...you will be using it endlessly! happy crafting friends XO
