How to Use Pocket Cards On Your Digital Scrapbooking Layout

Do you love pocket cards but never use them? Do they feel like they're only for pocket scrappers? I challenged my Creative Team to use pocket cards on their traditional digital scrapbook layouts and the results are great! On a traditional layout you can use the pocket card as a layering piece, a complement to your photo, or even as the title. Hopefully you'll find some inspiration here to use them on your own layout. Be sure to share if you do!

This layout by Gina uses the pocket card as a nice complement to the photo. Keeping them about the same size keeps their importance equal and the pocket card can stand in for the title of the layout. She's using these fun Fido Journal Cards.

This layout by Tiffany has a similar look to a pocket style layout, but there aren't any pockets! As I wrote about here, a grid is an easy way to organize a lot of stuff, and pocket cards fit easily when you're making a tidy layout like this.

She's using these pocket cards from my first July Good Life bundle and I'll share them here because I love them!

This dreamy layout by Marlyn uses the pocket card as a secondary title. She's using these lovely scripture pocket cards by Gina.

Another dreamy layout, this one by Bina, uses a journal card and she actually put journaling on it! What an idea! If you're like me a journal card can be a good reminder to actually include some journaling.

This fun holiday layout by Linda uses a fun wordy pocket card to add a festive feeling and then she too does a little journaling on another journal card. Amazing! She's using these fun pocket cards from Sharon-Dewi's Holiday Magic kit.

Beatrice uses a nice grid layout here to include a decorative pocket card and some fun photos.

I like how Ali uses this quote pocket card on her layout, and the fun one with the flamingo!

This layout by Becky uses a decorative pocket card as a layer behind her title. A decorative pocket card like this can quickly add more interest than a paper would.

I am shocked again by Linda's use of a journal card for journaling! Truly, when I gave the Creative Team this challenge I never thought about the journaling. Get the journal card she used right here.

And finally, this layout by Bourico uses a fun pocket card to quickly add a fun paint look and a nice sentiment. Get this pocket card here.

Well I hope you were all as inspired as I was by these layouts! Although you may already have realized you could journal on a journal card. (Can you believe they let me write the blog posts here?) But there are some other great examples here for people more clued in than me. Please share below if you make a traditional layout with a journal card!
