Add Some Flare with Pockets
You can purchase pockets from a scrapbook store or create them yourself with cardstock, vellum, photos or even fabric. For something fun and unique, use an old pocket form your favorite jeans or old shirt. Affix your pocket with adhesives or try sewing or stitching them right onto the page. Use embellishments to dress them up. Be creative by using brads, eyelets, buttons, beads or wire. Bring your personal style into play and add extra character to your pages. Here are a few clever and convenient ways to add pockets to you pages and keep everything in place.
Sheer or colored vellums or clear plastic page protectors hold items yet keep them visible. These pockets are perfect to reveal a special item with minimal handling. Cut vellum to the desired size and remember to use a clear adhesive to attach the pocket edges to the page.
Enlarge a photo to create an oversized pocket that can hold related items or delicate original photos. Example would be to use your wedding announcement as your pocket and store your additional photos that were taken. Make sue you only use adhesive on 3 corners leaving the top open for your treasures.
Remember that anyway you decide to add pockets to your layouts, you need to make sure you leave the top open and that you use a clear drying adhesive to apply to your page. Also, make sure let your adhesive dry before you add your treasures, you wouldn't want to glue them in the pocket for good.
