The journey to pocket page scrapbooking....

So the key to getting started on pocket page scrapbooking is really in the album. Love this Simple Stories SN@P! 6x8 burlap binder that I got as part of my design team assignment for my LSS Made With Love . I couldn't bear to cover up the chevron design so I decided to "alter" the spine instead [modeling paste with The Crafter's Workshop, black gesso, burlap, bloom, leather strap from an old shoe].

You can tell that I haven't quite gotten the sizing of the photos quite right...*LOL* 

I didn't have any Project Life Cards so I had to dig into my scrap stash. Yeah, and the corner rounder was tooooooooo far away! *winks*

I love the Basic Pages that came with the album though. Because I could add more dimensional items. I didn't have any reinforcement rings so I added a strip of washi tape on both sides. 

I have to say that pocket page scrapbooking wasn't that easy for me because I had to pare down my embellishments and think "smaller". But it's been a fun journey. :)

If you reside in Singapore, you can get this awesome binder and the supplies for this project at Made With Love Singapore. You can also view this album later this week at the store.

Pocket page layout with Xyron and Paper House

So I finally got "strong-armed" into trying a pocket page layout...*winks* Love that this week, Xyron is teaming up with Paper House Productions  for a fun week of creative projects!

I love this Paper House patterned paper with the brick wall and then hanging vines which was perfect for the backdrop of a Nordic restaurant I went to in Penang. I cut out the little frames from the actual photo and adhered them to the base using my Xyron Mega Runner. I also added the Fish & Chips cardstock sticker from Paper House and created a "chalkboard art" piece for my journaling.

Don't forget to go comment on the Xyron blog for your chance to win some goodies! :)
