Stampin' Up! Post - Pocket Style Memory Keeping with Flip Flaps

Pocket Style Memory Keeping With Flip Flaps


 Pocket-style memory keeping pairs photos with journaling cards and small keepsakes in divided pocket pages. It’s a simple, sized-down alternative to traditional scrapbooking—perfect for beginners or anyone who wants a quick way to capture stories. These pages are a favorite mini-album choice for stories with definite starts and ends (vacations, holidays, etc.), but they can also be added to D-Ring 12" x 12" (30.5 x 30.5 cm) Albums for a blended approach. This works well for memorabilia that you don’t want glued to your layout.

Photo Pocket Pages + Flip Flaps = A winning combination!
Add Flip Flaps to pocket pages for even more interactive excitement and storytelling space. Our So Happy Together spread shows how perfectly 3" x 4" (7.6 x 10.2 cm) Flip Flaps pair with the smaller pockets in our Variety Pack 6" x 8" (15.2 x 20.3 cm) Photo Pocket Pages. Since Flip Flaps can open to the side or vertically, it’s easy to add movement that works with your overall page design.

 This week I got to play with the new Frightfully Fun DSP, it is a new designer paper in the July Online Exclusive products. I so enjoyed creating this Gatefold card showing off the paper and the ever so cute Bats & Ghosts Embellishments.
