First pocket pages

My first venture into pocket page scrapbooking was with my daughter’s first year album – this is what got me hooked.  I used the Baby for Her core kit, patterned paper and coordinating American Crafts cardstock.

After Miss A’s first year album was done, I began catching up on pictures I hadn’t yet scrapbooked.

Traditional scrapbook pages

Here’s some of my traditional 12×12 scrapbook pages.  It’s neat to see how my style changed through the years.  Even as a traditional scrapbooker, my style was simple.  Lots of cardstock, not a ton of embellishments, and an attempt to get several pictures per page.  I think that’s what really attracted me to the idea of pocket scrapbooking.

Eyelet embellishments and color-blocking templates.  I used those templates a TON.
