When you have items that you want to display in your scrapbook, but don't want permanently mounted, a pocket page is the perfect solution.


Some examples of items you can place in a pocket page are:

Awards, Certificates and Diplomas

• Greeting Cards or Letters

• Post Cards

• Brochures and Pamphlets

• Souvenirs


There are two basic types of pocket pages that you can create to hold your memorabilia; a full page pocket or a partial page pocket.


When you have several items or one large item to store in the pocket, a full page pocket is the answer. Full page pockets will hold your items more securely so they won't fall out when you pick up your scrapbook.


1. To create a full page pocket, choose two pieces of cardstock of the same size. Use one page as the base page and the other page as the actual pocket or top page.


2. Your page will have an opening at the top to insert your items. To create the opening, you will cut a design into the top half of the pocket page. You can use a half circle or "V"shape pattern, or you may want to cut off the entire top half of the page. You can use decorative edge scissors to create a more elaborate look to your pocket page. Make sure both of the edges of both pages aligned with each other. After aligning the pages, make any needed changes to the pocket opening. Apply a strong adhesive around the edges of the pocket. A firm holding adhesive will work best, choose double sided photo tape or glue. Your completed pocket will consist of two pages glued together along three edges with the top edge left open. Do not apply glue to the top of the page.


3. Decorate the page as you would any other scrapbook page. Add stickers, die-cuts or photographs to decorate the pocket.


If you have one small item you would like to display on your scrapbook page, you can create a small pocket on your page instead of making the entire page into a pocket. A small pocket will resemble a pocket on the front of a shirt.


Some examples of items that can be put into small pockets or partial page pockets are:


Locks of hair

Scraps of fabric

Movie or concert tickets

Dried, pressed flower


1. To create a small pocket on your page.

Choose a piece of card stock in a color or design to match the theme of your page. The pocket should be between 1 to 1 ½ inches wider than the largest item you plan to place inside of the pocket. The height of the pocket can vary, but should be at least half as tall as the item that will be inserted into the pocket. When you are cutting your pocket, make sure the pocket you have cut is large enough to allow space to place the adhesive.


2. Add your adhesive to the left, right, and bottom edges of the back of your pocket. Adhere the pocket to your page. Just as with the full page pocket, you can use decorative scissors to give your pocket a fancier look if you choose. Once the adhesive has dried, you can finish decorating your pocket.
