Pocket page scrapbooking is my favourite way to preserve my memories. To me it's less daunting then tackling a 12" x 12" empty page. Using pocket pages you can add multiple photos that wouldn't fit together on a traditional layout. And it makes me remember flipping through old photo albums at my parent's place. There was a certain photo album that had 4" x 6" pockets in it and I'm sure it was a Techniques gray album, as in Panasonic Techniques. My family sold and repaired consumer electronics for many years and we primarily sold Panasonic products. The photos were slipped into the pockets and the plastic made this noise that I can still "hear" to this day! I wonder if my mom still has it? Do you have a memory of looking through photo albums when you were younger?

Have you used a sketch before to create a card or scrapbook layout? Some sketches will have dimensions provided, like mine above, while others won't. You can peruse the 2021-2022 Annual Catalogue for card designs. These won't have sizes but you can use any catalogues for inspiration. Perhaps you'll discover a new project design or even a colour combination that you can try. 

Does this card make you think of Neapolitan Ice Cream? I can't have Neapolitan Ice Cream because one layer is strawberry and I'm allergic to strawberries! But that's ok, I love chocolate ice cream instead. What colours of ice cream would you make for the 3 scoops on this cone? You could even have sprinkles. 

What do you think of the bright pink and mango with the softer blues and greens on this card? It makes me think of a stormy day then the sun pops out from behind the thundering clouds, creating a beautiful rainbow overhead. The blue clouds aren't stamped but found in the Sunshine & Rainbows designer series paper. And you can punch the clouds out using the Cloud Punch.

Were you able to join us for May's virtual crop? We used the Ice Cream Corner designer series paper for our projects and I wanted to share a couple of my scrapbook layouts with you today.
Using strips of designer series paper along with cutting out images from the designer series paper you can create a fun layout like I have above. The main piece of paper I chose from the Ice Cream Corner DSP makes me think of drizzled chocolate. What do you think? To finish off this layout you could use one 4" x 6" picture or even add another photo to the right of the white photo layer.

This card is not one of the cards we will make at the crop but it does give you an idea of what the Ice Cream Corner designer series paper looks like. To create the ice cream image on this card by using the Sweet Ice Cream stamp set and Ice Cream Cone builder punch. Both are great additions to the crop class.
