BUNNY HOP POCKET PAGE | with Tya

Is there a technique or long-forgotten way you used to scrapbook that you've wanted to revisit? Well, that's what I did for my latest assignment! I have always really loved pocket page scrapbooking, but it has been so long since I've scrapped that way! I came up with this really fun pocket page that I whipped up using some of my favorite photos of my kids when they were little, and the adorable Bunny Hop collection.

As you can see, I used a 12x12 page protector that has (12) 3 x4 pockets in it. I have such a love for embellishments and scrapping this way lets me use all the amazing embellishments from this collection. In this photo, I used a fun mix of Doodle Pops, Odds & Ends, and Bits & Pieces.

More embellishment goodies were found in this corner of the layout. I love layering up the Chit Chat pieces with the Bits and Pieces like I did on the cute bunny on the bottom row. Some fun stickers from the Puffy sticker sheet accent the "Happy Hunting" Chit Chat piece perfectly.

In this corner, I was able to use one of the journaling spots on the Springtime Stripe paper and then added a little sparkle to the cute bunnies along the bottom with some Stickles. Looks so sugary and sweet! And I do not mind adding some embellishments outside the pockets like I did here with the flowers, easter basket, and bow. I like texture and these added a little extra something to the pocket pages instead of them being flat and stuck in the pockets. I do use extra heavy tape on these types of embellishments so they stay put!

You can see here that I added a cute handmade mini banner with some twine, pattern papers, and Puffy Stickers on it. Lots of texture and interest with that piece. It's also so fun to layer up all the ephemera in the Odds and Ends to make little scenes like the egg tower, chocolate bunny, and carrot pieces.

I had so much fun creating this layout and I am so excited to do more pocket pages in the future! I forgot how much fun they were! I hope I have inspired you to try an old technique like pocket pages too! And then pick up the adorable "Bunny Hop" collection and make some cute Easter-themed pages! Have the best day friends and we will see you next time! Happy Crafting!

SIMPLY SPRING | Pocket Page Spread with Nathalie

I was inspired by the new Simply Spring collection to scrapbook a family gathering for which I had several outdoor photos. However, in the process, I realized that it actually works great for many types of photos!

This 6x12 pocket spread is now part of my year-long album:

I concentrated on the yellow and green elements of the collection along with a few touches of blue. I found perfect die-cut words and shapes in the Chit Chat and Odds & Ends packs. In addition, I used several stickers from the This & That 12x12 sheet including a long scallop border that I placed directly on the edge of my page protector. I love the result!

As you can see, I also created an insert for extra photos and it was easy with an envelope from the Simply Spring Create-A-Card pack. I trimmed the envelope flap so you can understand right away that there are photos to pull out. I added my journaling typed on strips directly on top along with some leaves from the Garden Flowers craft kit. Of course, I measured the space left for photos after punching the holes! Here's a look at the insert by itself:
