A quick weekend trip may seem short when Monday comes around, but you an take hundreds of photos, and make many memories. How will you document them? A pocket page is the perfect solution! Today, we have Neela Nalam sharing a beautiful spread that documents a skiing weekend with her family. We know that she will inspire you to tell your weekend stories, too!
I loved making these pocket pages about our annual ski trip that we did last year. I hadn’t recorded a story about this trip anywhere yet and the February 2018 Kit seemed to be the perfect fit for these photos. I chose to do a double page spread of 9″ x 12″ size. I like this size a lot, as it is big enough to summarize a short getaway.

I had colorful and bright photos, so I tried to pick tags with colors that coordinated or contrasted with the colors in my photos. I love all the colors in the kit and found it hard not to incorporate a bunch of them. The Wood Veneer Icons are pretty much my favorite add-on item this month and can be used in the design of your pocket, or just for decoration. You cannot go wrong!
I love all the journaling tags included in the February 2018 Kit, too. The different designs allow variety in the way you include journaling in your pockets. It was fun to follow the prompts on some of the tags to tell a story that I may not have told otherwise. I also like the general tags where you can tell your own story.
The All the Details Stamp has so many fun phrases on it and is so versatile. I used it to stamp the “THIS WAS FUN” phrase on the label from the February Icon Labels and the “love this photo” circle onto a journaling tag from the kit.
I hope you enjoyed checking out these pocket pages and that I’ve given you inspiration to get your weekend getaways documented. If you are interested to see the process on how these pocket pages came together, check out my process video.
