When I saw pocket pages by Karla Dudley, I directly fell in love with the little details outside of the pockets, which make her pages so faszinating. You can find her templates with sample pages here: shop.thedigitalpress.co/Snapped-templates-12×12.html
First I thought I wanted to recreate something like this with a real pocket page. Do you know the feeling when something looks totally amazing in your head, but when you are done with it it looks just not at all like what you’ve imagined? Well, this was one the moments where I felt exactly like this! With real pockets, so matter what I did, it just looked strange to have something be in front of the plastic sheets.
Of course it didn’t stop me from trying to get this page as awesome as it was in my imginations! Because I had this photo which looked too cool when it is divided into pockets to let go of this idea.
The photo was taken at the beach in denmark where we went by bike to find a beatiful place for a picnic. I photographed it with my mobile phone while I was sitting on the bike. I’m still impressed by the quality of mobile phone cameras today.
Next I tried to use the photo still inside the pockets, but the page itself is a normal 12×12. I removed all other pockets and was left with this in photoshop.
This was much close to what I expected. I printed everything and added some real splatters to the page. The journaling is printed directly on the cardstock with an A3 printer. Here is how the page “out of the pocket” turned out:
