Hello Elle’s Studio friends! It’s Aimee here with you today sharing a pocket page using the new March 2022 kit and add-ons. I had a ton of photos to document from a recent family camping trip and I think that the colors in the March kit are a perfect compliment to them. Let’s take a look at what I came up with!
Supplies | March 2022 Kit, March 2022 Labels, Heart and Star Chipboard Stickers – Cool, Play All Day Chipboard Stickers, Warm Solids Paper Stack, Medium Jane Alphabet Stamp – Outline, Monthly Numbers Stamp, Medium Jane Alphabet Metal Die, Good Times Seals Metal Die
I really wanted to mix up my pockets this week, so I am stepping outside of my comfort zone and using a Design G page protector from Becky Higgins. These particular pockets have two 4 x 6 inch vertical spots which I typically don’t work with, however, I saw this as an opportunity to use a ton of color and dig into my Warm Solids Paper Stack.
I chose a solid yellow paper as my photo and title backdrop, which plays nicely with all the blue in my photos. To create my title, I stamped out the name of the campsite using the outline Medium Jane Alphabet Stamp on solid white cardstock and then used the coordinating Medium Jane Alphabet Metal Die to cut it out. The metal dies really make creating titles a breeze!
I selected the rainbow-striped 4 x 6 inch tag from the March Kit and flipped it vertically in orientation for my next pocket. This tag really helps to tie in all the different colors of the layout and adds balance to the page.
To pack even more of a punch and bring more emphasis to the bottom of my pockets, I created a fun, secondary title using the Play All Day Chipboard Stickers. Underneath, I added journaling about our trip and embellished with March Kit die cuts.
I finished up the page with even more journaling on a 3 x 4 inch tag that had a space for me to add the date of our trip, which I did with the Monthly Numbers Stamp. I had a lot of fun creating these pockets and it was refreshing to try something new! Do you find yourself always using the same pocket orientations over and over? I invite you to challenge yourself and try something different—the results may surprise you!
