Pocket Life Sketch Friday with Diane

Don't you hate it when you run out of e's? I'm forever running out of e's. But I do love it when an alpha is big enough (and not sticky!) for me to use it as a stitching guide. Then I'll never run out of e's!

Couldn't go past this rainbow stripe paper in the June Citrus Twist Kits Pocket Life kit (of course), and even though we are heading into the gloom of winter down here in New Zealand, I love how bright and cheery this week looks.

Here are some details...

One way to deal with a lack of photos is an enlargement. One way to deal with a poorly lit and focused photo is to change it to black and white. Here I've combined both! Which allowed me to keep a strong colour scheme of yellow and teal with some little pops of red florals from the June Pocket Life kit.

Welcome to another PL Sketch Friday! Today I have a 9x12 sketch for you.

For this sketch, you would use a large title, large journaling block, and two 3x4 photos. I decided to use my PL Kit and create an 8.5x11 page using the sketch.

I used the large title, then a few of the PL cards down the right side of the layout. I only used one photo, but you could definitely use two if you wanted to.

This was a special photo for me to document, as I celebrated my 10 year anniversary with my employer last year. Such a great accomplishment! I love the acetate letters and quotes in the PL kit this month.

Pocket Life Sketch Friday with Diane

I really struggled with what colours to use this week, but I was drawn to the 4x6 card with yellow, grey and coral so that was the theme I went with! All the papers, cards and embellishments were kept to those colours and I love how it brings out all the yellows in my photos.

Here are a few details ...

The colours in this layout are so bold and graphic, I just love the papers from Pinkfresh in the March Citrus Twist Kits Pocket Life kit. I created my title card with some stamping and a bit of stitching to keep it in the same graphic style.

Pocket Life Sketch Friday with Diane

For whatever reason, the photos this week were VERY strongly themed in a orange/blue colour scheme and luckily the March Citrus Twist Kits Pocket Life kit fit in very nicely.

Everything was very simple, with the addition of a few die-cuts and stitching and because this month's kit didn't come with an alpha, I had to get creative with my title card and cut it with my Silhouette.

Pocket Life Sketch Friday with Mira

Hello!

It's Mira Jurecka and I hope You have some catch up to do in Your Pocket Albums because I created three sketches to get You going! Two of them are a bit unusual, because they are not full 12x12 size, but 12x9, so I had to get out of my comfort zone to create pages in this size. I really hope I will encourage You to do it too!

I've had plenty of pictures from our weekend trip to Barcelona so obviously they were waiting to be embellished and put in the album! I created my pages using absolutely adorable exclusive Citrus Twist Kits products coming from January PL Kit with a few additional embellishments from January Embellishment Kit. 

Here You go - each sketch is followed by the inspiration and a few close-ups:

I especially love this month's small flowerish patterned papers - for their subtle look! Also, these gorgeous colorful puffy hearts and flowers! 

Of course You can't forget about paper cuts with words and space to add a little something! Such a bright idea! 

And those awesome stamps & yellow stickers with tiny words?

 I was amazed with the happy mail from Citrus Twist Kits that came to my house the other day! 

For those of You who don't want to experiment with sizes of their pocket pages I also created a regular 12x12 sketch:

As most of my pages this sketch includes a lot of space for pictures and only two small pockets for a patterned papers or filling cards (the space, which by the way I filled with two 3x4 cards that I created by cutting one colorful 6x4 card in a half). 

With this left bottom pocket I'd like to encourage You to go crazy with adding as many embellishments as You possibly can on top of the picture! Doesn't it look fun? What I would do without enamel dots and shapes? I truly don't know! :D

I really hope You'll like the sketches and my inspirations!
Remember that if You create something based on these sketches, You should definitely post it to our Gallery or Facebook Fan Page by Friday, January 27th and include PL 01/27 in the title to get a chance to win!

Thanks for visiting Pocket Life Friday!!
Have a great weekend!

Pocket Life Friday with Jen

Hi everyone! It's Friday again, which means it's time for another Pocket Life sketch. Today I'll be sharing a 9x12 page with you using the January kit.

Here's a look at the sketch. This page uses a combination of cards and photos, and is very journaling-heavy.

My page is all about starting off the new year. The products and cards in the Pocket Life kit are perfect for documenting these.

I thought the cork 2017 piece was perfect for use on this card, which forms the title for my page.

I was in love with the 6x6 patterned papers in the Pocket Life kit and thought it would be fun to create a layered card with them. I simply cut one diagonally and adhered/stitched it to another piece of paper cut to 4x6. On top, I layered a die cut and a cork piece.

Isn't that Winnie the Pooh card so cute? Love it.
