You Love This | No Limits collection | Sue Plumb
Hi everyone, it’s Sue Plumb here to share my latest design team project with you. For today’s post I was assigned with showcasing the A5 Paper Stack and Pocket Cards from the new ‘No Limits’ collection so I decided to create a pocket page. If you have been keeping up with my recent creations, you will already know that I have been making a concerted effort to create more pocket pages this year to go alongside my traditional 12×12″ layouts in my albums. This is so I can get more photos and details recorded, but still have the freedom to be artistic on my 12×12″ pages. So far, the balance has been working well and I intend on keeping it up. (So yes, there is a traditional layout that goes with this pocket page but for today I am just sharing the pocket page.)
The subject of this page is my son’s current love of soccer. As a result, I have a lot of photos that I have taken of him that look very similar. (If you are a fellow sporting mum, I am sure you can relate.) Documenting sports photos is a topic that I discuss in my process video for this layout, and I have some tips for creating pages with them.
You can watch my video here:
I have included some close up images of my layout below so you can get a better look at how it is constructed.
Adding embellishments directly to my photos is something I usually do on my traditional layouts, but it is a technique that works especially well on pocket pages. I like for there to be a lot to look at as the viewer’s eye travels around the page.
I used one of the papers from the A5 Paper Stack cut down to 4×6″ as the base for my title card, then several Pocket Cards and a piece from the 12×12″ cut apart paper to fill the remaining spaces.
I used my typewriter to type my journalling directly onto the Pocket Cards. (It has a few quirks and it never looks perfect, but I love it – it has personality!)
The embellishments I used were a mix of Die Cut Ephemera pieces; Accessory Stickers; Puffy Stickers and a few fussy cut pieces.
That’s all from me today, I hope you are feeling inspired to work with A5 papers or Pocket Cards too. Until next time, happy scrapping!
