March 2015 Pocket Pages

I'm settling into a bit of a rhythm with my monthly pocket pages. And I'm feeling pretty good, since I actually finished up my March pages at the beginning of April, which is ahead of my usual schedule. What worked for my this month, was every Saturday I spend a little time laying out the weekly spread, just with photos and any text I wanted to include. This way things were still fresh in my mind, so I could get those details ready, but I could hold off on the decorating part while I finished up some designing. Then, once I finally had the bundles I wanted, I just spent a little time making everything pretty. It was a great success.

▲ Everything all ready in the folder.

▲ Nothing fancy, but ready to go!

I don't have any regular layouts this month, as I didn't have a lot of photos and was enjoying working with the pockets. I even made a few more templates.

For these layouts I used Violet's lovely Already There Bundle, pieces from all the Garden Party kits, as well as a bundle I'll be releasing at the end of the month. Spoilers!

what a great way to make sure you keep everything in order for you pocket pages. I have fallen behind with my p52 weekly layouts and it is sorting through the photos to get them in the right weeks that is holding me back from getting them caught up! I will try your method and see if it helps in the future, thanks for the great tip!

Of course your pages are lovely too and definitely put your spin on the pocket page.

Great start. I like your pictures and journaling first, then fill in the rest later approach.

Your templates have been so fun to use! I think your pocket scrapping is fantastic!

I love all your pages! I'm really enjoying seeing you take the pocket scrapping format and make it your own. Thanks for sharing your process for making these - I'm going to give it a try, it seems like it could be really helpful to separate out the decision-making into two batches (first photos/journaling, *then* fitting cards, papers, elements into the already determined layout). Your layouts make Already There look awesome, and I am so excited for this new mystery bundle - those are some enticing spoiler pages!

About Me

Hi There! I’m Marisa Lerin and you’ll see me around at DigitalScrapbook.com a lot. I started this site in 2010 soon after I discovered a new love in digital scrapbooking. DigitalScrapbook.com has gone through some significant changes since that time and it’s grown into this lovely community site you are seeing now. I am daily surprised by the turn of life’s events that has led me down this path. If you're new to the site, welcome! Here are a few tidbits about me that I hope will help you get to know me better!

I’m originally from Minnesota, USA, but spent a good chunk of my childhood living abroad (in Bolivia and Hong Kong). I returned to Minnesota to attend university, got married and then moved overseas again (Korea, then Jordan and 1 year of traveling). My designs are heavily influenced by these many nomadic years. I am currently back in the USA, now living in the great state of Oregon!

I have no official training for what I’m doing, since I decided very wisely (haha) to study physics in university. I am always learning new things about digital scrapbooking, and this community has been immensely helpful for that!

If I manage to stop digital scrapbooking you will probably find me watching TV, reading or baking. I also enjoy writing for the blog here at DigitalScrapbook.com where I talk about whatever happens to be catching my fancy at the moment.
