TTC #2 – Vellum

[Stitch]

I have posted a Lilo's Lesson on how to make a pocket for those of you who may not know how to do it.

How to make a Pocket

[vixen101485]

I know how to make a pocket. I am just lazy and dont want to. LOL

Nice LO vixen--stripes and all. Too lazy to make a pocket but not to make a that very cute monorail, huh? That's what I would call "selective laziness."

[vixen101485]

lol..ty gal Yep I have an extreme case of it. Kinda like when I was making a scrapbook page yesterday instead of doing the dishes. LOL The monorail was more fun to make. LOL

Pocket, pocket. How am I supposed to make a pocket? What am I supposed to put in my pocket? Okay, back to the drawing board.

I have this one finished except for adding the photos which I will get developed this afternoon. This challenge really made me use my thinking cap and forced me to do something I probably would never have done otherwise. I am very happy with the results. Thanks April, I needed that!

Here it is. I hope you guys like it as much as I do!

Paper is by Die Cuts with a View.
Vellum is by The Paper Company.
The brads are Jo-Ann's Essentials.
The letters came from a huge package of letters I got at Wal-Mart for $5-$6. I have thrown away the insert, so I'm not sure what brand name they are. (But let me tell you, I have used the hound out of those letters. They have been worth every penny.)

WooHoo...great pocket!

[iwannabeminnie]

Thank you! I think it is a great pocket too, even if I did make it myself. I am so happy with the way it turned out. I think I like this page as much as any I have done. Maybe just because I tried something new. I don't know. I really would never have done it if it hadn't been for you. So again, thanks.

I love that layout and the pocket is to die for. I also like the letters and am reminded that I own them and have bever used them. You have inspired me to use them!

Thank you Janet! I really just dug through all of my things looking for something that I could PUT into a pocket! I snapped the photos on our trip in June, while Ed and I were waiting for my sister and family to arrive. The man in the foreground in the cap is my brother-in-law, the short lady in the red shirt is my sister, and the skinny-mini in the white shirt with her back to the camera is my 10 year old niece who is going to be taller than her mother in 6 months, tops.

I just followed April's instructions and cut the vellum to size with a 1/4 inch overlap. When I put the piece on top of the booklet to see how long to cut it, I just decided to fold it over and glue it to resemble the flap on a shirt pocket. I used the brads to hold it down because April said that is how she did it (and I want to be like the professionals).

I was finished with the layout, but not quite happy with it, wondering what I could do for a little extra punch when I noticed on the booklet "Official Luggage Tags Enclosed." The luggage tag was not the one the book was referring to, but I thought "hey, I've got luggage tags!" I actually have a lot more tags than I have luggage! They send us new ones every year. For those of you 'in the know' you will notice that the luggage tag on the layout is an old one. The Happiest Celebration on Earth tags are on my luggage!
