Pocket Pages using the July kit with Jamie Leija

Hiya, it’s Jamie! This month, I did something I’ve never done. I made a process video for a pocket page!! It’s hard for me to believe that not very long ago, I wasn’t a fan of pocket style scrapbooking. I thought it was so hard!! Fast forward to today when I love putting them together! I think partly because Elle’s products make them so easy to create.

This was fun for me to make and also to film. I had zero ideas about what I was going to do on this page. I just pulled out my Elle’s Studio stash and started playing.

My spreads tend to be very photo heavy. So I have a few go-to “tricks” for embellishing my photos. I stamp, add die cuts, and add letter stickers.

Using a journaling tag, a blank label and a piece of packaging, I created my own custom 3×4 card. It’s more layered and perfectly coordinates with the color scheme I went for on this page: red, white, blue and gray!

And, here’s some close-ups of the rest of the spread:

I love how the spread turned out. It was fun to just play with my stash and see what I could put together with it. That’s one of the awesome things about Elle’s products, they all coordinate!
