I love pocket cards! This challenge was to use the pocket card tutorial to make a scrapbook page. While looking through the Idea Book & Catalogue I came across a pocket card on page 165 and I just had to use it for inspiration. The hardest part was choosing the right photo to add to the pull out tags! I finally choose pics of my husband and I, one from college and another from a few years ago.

For the SCS's Creative Crew Catalogue Focus this month our challenge is to use Glitter! I'm in short supply of all things glittery but came across a bottle of Gold Spritz Spray! And it works so well to create stars on a black sky for a Halloween card!

The clouds were punched out with the Petite Pennant Punch. I spritzed the card base with the Gold Spritz Spray after running it through the Big Shot with the Spider Web Embossing Folder.

Supplies
Stamps: Out On A Limb, Teeny Tiny Wishes
Ink: Gold Spritz, Early Espresso, Stazon Black, Stampin' Write Markers: Daffodil Delight , Soft Suede, Blush Blossom
Paper: Basic Black, Daffodil Delight, Whisper White, Sahara Sand
