After warming up with the first pocket page, I continued my Solo Crop with another pocket page– the back of my previous one!
This pocket page faces a layout that I made about my husband and the speeder bike on display in Hollywood Studios, so I used the colors in that layout as a starting point for the papers (mostly Shimelle Starshine) and embellishments on this pocket page.
I also want to feel more free about using products such as stickers, and so I challenged myself to use a bunch of these geometric shapes from the Shimelle #stickerbook to tie together the three pockets that are part of one story.
The stickers are on pretty thin paper, so I backed them with scrap white cardstock and cut them out– this way I was able to lift them up on foam for more dimension.
For the bottom pocket, I wanted to use the aqua color, but the solid cardstock seemed too plain. I got out my Paige Evans stencils and used Thermoweb Metallix gel to add stars across the background, which set off my journaling card and photos.
Again, this page took a bit longer than Adele’s– she actually did three pocket pages in the time it took me to do these two; however, since I was just getting back into it after months away from the hobby and pocket pages in particular, I am giving myself some grace!
