Weekly Challenge

Hi there!
Dawn McVey here with another challenge for you!  Today, I thought it'd be fun to challenge you to use a pocket on a project of some sort, to hide a bit of journaling or even a message for the recipient!  Your pocket can be die cut, one you've made yourself with stitching or adhesive, or even a cute little bag like the glassine bag I've used on my card today!  



In order to allow just a bit more of my die cut tag inside the pocket, to peek out the top, I cut along the sides of the bag and folded the front down just a bit.  This let the tag show a bit more, so the recipient will know to pull that tag out and take a peek!  I used the tag inside the pocket, to round out the message for the recipient.....the outside of the tag says, "Next to you is my favorite destination" and the tag inside the bag says, "miss you".



Want to play along with the challenge?  Create a project (layout, card or other) and share the link to your project here in the comments section, so we can all see what you came up with!  I can't wait to see!!  And bonus points if you make a CARD!!  *wink*  I know there are lots of scrappers out there that don't think they can make cards, but you can!  Just remember, cards are just mini layouts.....paper, embellishments and a sentiment....all the same stuff you'd use on a layout!  And the best part is, you can use that card to brighten someone else's day!  Can't wait to see what you come up with!

Have a great day!

Love this challenge.
I used the Smash plastic bags that came in the Sorbonne add-on from last month's kit on my layout. It was perfect for adding BUNCHES more stuff to my page.
