Hi everyone, Marilyn here. I am pleased to be hosting Rachel’s designer challenge this month.

But first, here are the very lucky winners for the tag challenge hosted by Deborrah.
The winners drawn at random are:
$10 coupon goes to @trekmom
$6 coupon goes to @garrynkim
- Your coupons will be delivered to you via PM from @Rachel Jefferies as soon as possible!
Congrats and have fun shopping, ladies!

And with it being November, let us give thanks with pocket cards!

My challenge to you is simple. You must use at least three pocket cards on your layout. They may be resized, rotated, or stacked, but I must be able to distinguish that they are pocket cards. Or you can simply create a pocket page with your pocket cards. :-) Photoless layouts are welcome.

Rachel has a lovely assortment of pocket cards at TLP. Here is a link to them at her shop: https://the-lilypad.com/store/Rachel-Jefferies/?catid=860 Some are sold as individual products, but others (for a better bargain) are bundled with her kits. And then there is her Pocket Art - Signature series, specifically created with those pocket pages in mind.

A preview of her lovely signature kits and a couple links to my fave pocket cards (pictured below)

Regardless, if you don't have any in your stash, you need to get them. I've discovered a love of pocket cards (Thank you, @Rachel Jefferies ) just this past year. :-)

A few of my pocket pages with Rachel's products:


Here is a page I made using 3 pocket cards, all coming from Silent Battles - Exhaustion.


And here is one from Ann-Sofie made with Pocket Art Pintsized Papers, Elements and Cards.

  • You must create a new layout for this challenge.
  • This challenge closes at midnight 30 November 2020 according to the timestamp on your thread post.

Please let me know if you are eligible for the $6 entry by stating “New Release Bonus Entry” when you post in the forum.

If you have any questions just ask me @mcurtt and I will get back to you as soon as I can. Enjoy the challenge!

I love Rachel's Pocket Art collection: they are perfect for both artsy and pocket pages.
Here is the sample page I made for the challenge, with a link to the gallery.
 
Just sayin'.. Rachel has put several pocket art sets for sale in today's SOSN (November 4). If you are new to pocket art, this is a wonderful opportunity to try them out. :-)
 
Thanks for the challenge. I had fun turning, decorating them and using them as a framing device.
