New Issue Monday: Pocket-Book

It's New Issue Monday over on the Paper Issues blog with "Pocket-Book" and I created this fun summer themed layout using the AMAZING July Swag Bag (still available in the shop)! This is one of my favorite Swag Bags OF. ALL. TIME.

I used the new Where's The Pool PaperPOPs sold by and made exclusively for Paper Issues by Parker on the Porch. I also broke out my Lora Bailora flamingo washi - swoon!

So what is Pocket-Book all about? Here are a few ideas to get you started (use one or use them all). Feel free to use any product you'd like.

Share your pocket pages, planners and altered books.

Show us projects that have pockets on them, whether they're for hidden journaling or a design element — glassine bags, bitty bags, envelopes, etc.

Tell us about the books you like to read. Do you belong to a book club?

Do you have a favorite pocketbook? What do you keep in it? 

Add a clothing pocket to your project.

Download August's free printable, The Beach is Calling, from the Paper Issues store and use one or more of the cards on your project. 

***Please review the New Issue Monday Link and Win FAQ post for information on what you need to do to be eligible for the prize.***

Be sure to link up by August 30th for a chance to win a $20 Paper Issues gift card!!

I Heart Teenager Selfies...

I am totally crushing on the We R Love Notes line right now! This black and white striped background was screaming for a teenager selfie photo! I totally started stealing Lily's selfies after seeing all of Cassie Box's amazing teenager selfie pages! LOL

        

I love all the papers and the cork embellishments! Be sure to check out this collection in the Paper Issues shop here!

 

         

The awesome "xoxo" acrylic is from Color Cast Design's Passion set! I love that set so so so much and I got so much use out of every single piece from the set! The new February releases have more GOLD - my favorite!
