OMG!!!!!!! For so many who were worried because never done pocket pages (myself included) you guys are AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just posted mine and went had a look at all 6 pages.....wOw!!!!!!!! LOVE them!!!!!! I also had to admit I quiet liked it...... another thing gained through MOC!!!! I will make time for gallery again, the pages are amazing ladies, LOVE them!!!!!!!
It's kind of funny because I wasn't scared about the pocket page, since I do them already. But the actual challenge was really hard for me. It's not what I normally do with pocket pages. I'll probably redo it. I'm not complaining though, because I like when challenges are challenging!
When I saw the las challenge I thought it cant be true but I totally agree with you Cynthia I enjoyed it, too
Quote! I had the most difficult time, maybe because it was the last one after a busy month, maybe the deadline was so near however, it was fun ^____^
I'm not at all a pocket pager, and luckily I did have a couple of overlays from an earlier challenge so I was't quite so stressed. I just can never figure out how to fill all those spaces and have a balanced page. Anyway, said and done. I thought it turned out fine.
Totally agree....the layouts are amazing!I'm not a pocket scrapper and I totally freaked out when I saw that was the last challenge. I am pleased with the result but still know it's not my particular style.
I had never done one before so I struggled for a while but finally had something that I hoped would work, posted it and then went to the thread. There I realized I would need to redo because I didn't carefully look over the directions. Aaarggh on me! Anyway, so now I guess I'm a bit more experienced at pocket pages and just might do some more in the future.
i had already try this style but when i sasw the last challenge, i need to admit i said to myself..... oh no, why why for the LAST challenge when we have so few time to thinks about our layout this is this challenge..... i take loooooooooooooot of time to made my layout. and i finally happy with it. But really not my style... at all ! but when i see the layout in the theard i need to admit we have lot of specialist in the forum ! We rock ladies to figth of fear!
I also do pocket pages regularly, but this was a different take on them. I usually just do them in a Project Life style, so this was a fun challenge.
I had only ever done one other pocket page and only put photos in the spots...this was a challenge for me but I really enjoyed it a lot. I will do more from now on.
I had a set of page protectors (Valorie Wibbens' Sewn Pockets) in my stash but hadn't use them yet and I had a terrible time figuring out how to use them. Every time I clipped the photo to the protector the photo became so frosted it was hard to see. Not sure if I was supposed to make a clipping mask and then put it under the protector or what. I followed a tip from Laura in the challenge to put the photos above the page protector and just let the stitching show around the photos. It worked, but I still don't know exactly how I am supposed to use them correctly.
