Pocket scrapbooking started in 2008 in traditional scrapbooking when Becky Higgins created a kit called Project 365 that was focusing on the idea of a photo a day for a year, that we can still see around. Over time the digital scrapbooking went along with this idea. Being digital Pocket scrapbooking don’t have the physical limitations of the pocket and therefore we can ‘’play’’ around by adding elements, changing sizes.
You don’t have to use journaling cards (or pocket cards) when you created a pocket layout. Many people like the pocket scrapbooking style when we have many things to show or have a lot of photos for the same occasion.
As an example Tammy had a lot of photos from her grandaughter and to create this layout using Lush Lavender, she used lots of photos that she blocked all around using small elements to give the importance to these stunning photos.
You can use pocket scrapbooking to create a page about someone (this is my favorite way of using it) in many occasions. Like a retrospective for a birthday or simply to show funny, touching moments of someone. Like Becky used Boy Oh Boy to create this wonderful page about her grandson. In this layout you see different moments of him and she adds a little bit of journaling to create a fun layout he will for sure like to see when he grows up.
