Hi there! I'm back with a fun cheery cherry pocket project that I created for Emma's Paperie. Our manufacturer spotlight last month was on the sweet Pebbles Inc. company...so much to love about Pebbles Inc. I'm a sucker for the pattern mixes and colors that each of their collections contain.
This project all started with the fun cherry red heart patterned paper and I had to use it from start to finish mixing in dimensional stickers and other patterns.
Then of course came the red gingham and black chevron and sweet library card pockets...just a playground of products I tell you :).
Supplies and instructions to create your own pocket can be found HERE.
And, before I go...something I'm so excited about. A few months ago I was contacted by Creating Keepsakes magazine and asked to design the cover project for the March/April 2013 issue. My copy arrived on my doorstep just yesterday and I'm still beaming. I love Creating Keepsakes and am so tickled. You can snag your copy HERE!
Happiest Wednesday.
Melis
