Hello crafty friends, Sarah here with a pocket page layout for you today.

This 6x8 layout is of my youngest son who I thought of when I saw this chipboard piece from Memory Maze. The chipboard piece is the perfect size for a 3x4 inch pocket.

I coloured the chipboard piece using Distress Ink in three colours then clear embossed it. I added some Finnabair wax in Velvet Blue to add some highlights.

The paper used for this layout was from the Elle’s Studio January release. I layered the photos with some labels, stickers and other Elle’s studio die cuts.

To finish off the cards, I added some doodling around the edges with black fineliner. Be sure to check out the range of Memory Maze chipboard products and MORE online at www.memorymaze.com

FAMILY TOGETHER

I love playing with mixed media products and memory maze chipboard works perfectly with many of the products out there on the market

I have painted the cherry blossom with Ranger distress paint and then stamped it with archival black ink for texture.

I broke my cherry blossom up so I could spread it over my layout.

I used leaves from a sheet set and again painted them with ranger distress paint, this time i used a few different colors.  I inked the edges with distress ink and then found a different stamp and stamped to add texture.

COOL IN THE POOL

Lately I have been trying to organise my many boxes of photos and trying to get them into albums.  I liked the pocket page idea as I can get more photos in and tell the story with little effort.  I keep it very simple and then have been adding 12 by 12 layouts to the albums to.

I cut this title up as it was all joined together and would not fit into the pockets.  I love how this has turned out,  you would not think I had cut them up.  As with the layout I have painted my chipboard to suit the colours of my photos.

Splash had a big splash attached to the H.  For the life of me I could not get the colouring right so I just removed it.  which also allowed me to attached the word down one of the cards instead of across.

My wee man is all grown up now but I remember this day so easily.  He was so excited to see all the water and no matter how hard I tried to actually get him in the pool,  he preferred  to play around it.  He is such a wee cutie.

I cut my chipboard up so I could spread it out over the two pockets to make it my focal point, 

 again this has just been painted.

ENJOY TODAY~IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE

I love how this turned out!  I had to Google image the van to see where the chrome went.  I then used and embossing pen and added the detail.  I embossed it with a silver embossing powder and then painted.  LOVE IT!
