Make Room for the Whole Story

It is so incredibly easy, nowadays, to take pictures of pretty much every moment in our lives. However, when you want to preserve some of these moments, how often do you find yourself overwhelmed with having to choose which pictures out of the hundreds you actually took deserve the space in your scrapbook?
The good news is that you don’t have to be limited by a 12″ x 12″ page anymore! With a little help from our Pocket Plus™ Memory Protectors™, you can easily add as many as 12 more photos to your story with just one protector. Check out our layouts below for ideas on how to include more of your favorites without compromising the beauty of your pages.

The top image of this gorgeous layout shows you the original, while the bottom shows the same layout with the addition of two 6″ wide Pocket Plus Memory Protectors. We were able to add several more photos to this layout and still keep it neat and engaging. Pretty amazing, right?
The trick to using these protectors is to design your pages with the additional photos in mind. When working with the 6″ protectors, plan the coordinating pages in halves. That way, when you lay either of the protectors on top, they create a secondary “page” using half of the art from the original.
Here’s another beautiful example using our 4″ wide protectors, which only cover up one-third of the original pages. Starting at the gutter, measure 4″ into your page and consider that as the space, from top to bottom, the protector will cover with the additional art.
Don’t forget, these protectors have backsides, too! Since you can flip the protectors back and forth, you have that many more options for photos, journaling, or even pocket cards (AND you have a fun, interactive element for your layout!).
We love taking pictures of the special moments and people in our lives, and when you use our Pocket Plus Memory Protectors, you can share so much more of them and their stories in your scrapbooks!

Hello good friends!!  I am super excited to announce that I have finally finished my Chelsea Gardens card making kits.  :) I have two kits and I have to tell you -- they are adorable.  Chelsea Gardens is a new product line in the Seasonal Expressions 1 book that just debuted from Close to My Heart. It has a springy, natural feel to it.  It is so refreshing with its cool colors and tranquil patterns.  The colors in this line include charcoal, fern, glacier, heather, juniper, mink, sweet leaf, and white daisy. Let's take a look at each kit: Kit #1 Omgee I loooove the bold flower pattern on this last one! And here is Kit #2 . . .  This is my favorite in kit 2.  Just look at how those flowers peek-a-boo out of the card. These card kits took a LOT of extra time because I did some paper piecing on the thin cuts and I also did tons of coloring with my watercolor pencils on them.  I REALLY wish you could see the awesome details on the thin cuts where I
