Over the last several weeks I have been hard at work trying to get a bit caught up on some of my basic scrapping pages. One of these pages is my Pocket folder for Jack's school album. I like to make these pocket folders to hold various school work projects and important things like report cards etc. For Jack's first grade pocket folder I used the Simple Stories Elementary collection. I was able to find this collection marked waaaay down and I broke my spending freeze to pick up this collection. I am very low on my back to school papers so I went ahead and broke my freeze!
For this layout I used a plain piece of dark brown cardstock and then I made the pocket part. I used several strips of paper from the collection and I sewed t hem all together. I then sewed the pocket part onto the cardstock and left the top open so that I could add my papers. Not a lot of fuss or embellishments but that is ok with me! I just needed something simple for his pocket folder.
