I LOVE Pockets!

I'm playing with the Eclips Users Group today showcasing pockets.  I started with the beautiful Textured Scenes papers. 

Tell me these little ones are not precious with those sweet little smiles.  The top photo is slipped into a pocket for the Pocket Challenge.

For embellishments, I had a tag sitting in my stash and used balloons from Miss Kate Cuttables.

Hi, Friends!

Hope you have had a good week! Today I am sharing a card featuring Tim Holtz's Snowflake Rosette Die, along with a favorite technique of mine!  The first time I needed a denim pocket, I couldn't find any denim paper!  I found a perfect substitute....took an old pair of jeans, cut a swatch, inked it up with blue ink, and used the fabric as a stamp. I scanned that (so I would always have a denim swatch handy).  Using Photoshop, I added a yellow pocket shape on top of the denim. 

I created the really cute sentiment using Word - and adhered it to the front of the card.  I finished this card off with a Prima flower and a "sun" rosette (rather than a snowflake)!  This card was made for a local SALSA swap with a "pocket" theme.

The swap also includes tags - this month's tag theme is "New Beginnings."  Here is my tag.
