Hi all, Sarah here. I love the weekend that the Memory Pockets Monthly collection gets added to the store each month. It’s exciting to see all of the great products that are created for this special collection.
I used this month’s collection to go back and scrap a couple of pages from March 2013. This was a really hard month for us, so I’ve put off scrapping it, but I felt like this collection had some really great elements to document this point in our lives.
Here is my page documenting the first few days of the month.
And the 2nd page documenting the next week or so.
I love how the add ons really help stretch the main kit, adding to the versatility of Memory Pockets Monthly. I love using journal cards as is, adding my photo and/or journaling and a couple of embellishments and calling it done. But I really love seeing how I can make the collection work for me in the best way possible. Since I’m using all 4″x6″ pockets I needed to create some extra pocket cards using some of the papers and elements from the main kit and add ons. For this one I used one of the solid papers from the main kit cropped down to 4″x6″ and added a journaling element also from the main kit. I loved using Lili’s word art on my photos as well throughout my pages.
I’m a big fan of lined and grid papers and one of my favorite things to do is to crop these down for my pockets and then add a bit of patterned paper to one edge to give it a little more interest. This is a great way to create a pocket card for when you have a lot of journaling to record.
I did something similar with this card, but instead of using patterned paper I cropped the text from one of the 4″x6″ cards from the main kit since the sentiment fit so well with my journaling.
I love that I’m going back and getting some of my unfinished pages completed and am so happy that the Memory Pockets Monthly collections offer so much to help me get those memories documented.
