12×12 Hybrid: Pocket Scrapping Style

Hi everyone, Sarah here and today I thought I would show you how you can easily knock out a hybrid layout in a hurry using digital pocket scrapping cards.

I decided to work with the March BYOC and chose a few journal card packs from the collection. I printed cards from I Like it When it Rains Journal Cards by Little Butterfly Wings, Beautiful Day Journal Cards by Sabrina Dupre Designs, and Daily Delight Cards by Lynn Grieveson Designs. I also printed off a couple of elements from Daily Affirmation by Etc. by Danyale., but before printing I added a little bit of text to each element using The Angries by Heather Joyce. I also printed a few photos in the 4″x6″ and 3″x4″ sizes typical of most journal cards.

Next I laid everything out on a sheet of 12″x12″ white cardstock.

I added some journaling to a few of the cards and adhered everything down to the cardstock.

All in all the layout took me less than an hour, and I was able to just use my paper trimmer and scissors to cut everything out. Here are a couple of closeups of the page.

It’s fun to use journal cards without pockets from time to time. I hope this post inspires you to create a project using journal cards outside of the typical Project Life layout.

I’m a creative who pulls inspiration from all corners of life—both the joyful highs and the real-life moments that punch you in the gut. Honestly, I don’t think I can pin down a single scrapbooking style for myself, so let’s just go with eclectic. My layouts really depend on my mindset. If I’m in a deep, cerebral mood, you’ll likely see something chaotic and messy. If I’m more relaxed, it tends to come out clean, simple, and structured.

My brain is usually running on several channels at once, so it’s completely normal for me to be working on a digital layout, dabbling in a hybrid project, and getting messy with art journaling or mixed media—all at the same time.

Here are a few of my go-to tools: Digital: Adobe Photoshop CC + my MacBook; Photos: Canon Rebel or iPhone; Hybrid: Cricut Joy + sewing machine; Art Journaling: watercolors, stencils, and artsticks

And when it comes to embellishments—digital or physical—I’m always reaching for messy threads, ribbons, and Polaroids. Always the Polaroids.
