I love using pocket page for holdings mementos. I also prefer to keep my tickets as they were — so no stamping or embellishments directly on them, which makes pocket pages the perfect background to hold this postcard and tickets (and if I messed up the Hamilton ticket my 13 year old would kill me).
So today, I’m starting with a pocket page protector, ephemera, sticker, stamps and wooden embellishments — all held together with the Best Glue Ever.
One of my go-to techniques is adhering stickers, tags and
embellishments on top of the protector. The Best Glue Ever makes this
super easy. I use it for everything — even self adhesive stickers. I
don’t want to open my scrapbook in a year and find embellishments have
fallen off.
When I’m putting together a pocket scrapbook page, I first decide where my big items are going and stick them in a pocket. For this page I have photos, postcards and tickets. Next I go through my stash of patterned paper and pocket page cards to find colors and themes that complement my items. I have *ahem* quite an amount of monthly pocket page kits from several monthly kit clubs, which not only saves time but makes coordinating easy. After I’m satisfied it’s on to adding embellishments here are there to finish the page.
I decided to add several wooden embellishments to these paper tags. You only need a few tiny drops of the Best Glue Ever. I start with a few drops on the piece, as in the photo below. When I have a piece with small real estate, like this word, I’ll often take my finger and lightly spread the glue on the back of the piece from here before applying.
And speaking of stamping, I decided to add a bit of stamping to several of the paper tags. I picked up one of the Tim Holtz Tonic stamp platforms, which makes stamping much more fun (really!). After lining my tag and stamps up on the platform, I treat the tag with the Perfect Crafting Pouch prior to stamping, which helps me achieve a crisp image. Living the dream? Why yes, thank you 😉
And yes, using ScraPefect products really makes me happy….
