6x8 Pocket Page Process - Travel Album Divider

Hello friends! My name is Katelyn and I am one of the newer members here at Scrapbook Blessings Club. I'm happy to be here and excited to show you some fun ideas and techniques. Today, I have a 6x8 pocket page to share with you. This is for my travel album and it's a divider page starting off our third day off the trip. So, I'm here to encourage you to cut through some photos and make fun divider pages!

My video goes in to more details about products, but here I want to give you some tips on cutting your photos. I know that a lot of people don't like to cut their photos like I have done here, but simple photos like the bottom are fine to cut up in my opinion. Take caution when thinking about cutting photos with people in them. It's a very fine line to walk, so watch your cuts ladies!

When I have full photo layouts, I liked to keep the embellishments simple and kept to a couple of pockets. In this case, I have a cluster/title in a left pocket and then a journaling spot and some embellishments in the bottom right pocket. Hopefully on your layout the white space is available in balanced parts. 

When using full page photos I also like to add a lot of dimension. I achieve this by using chipboard pieces, enamel dots, foam squares under die cuts, and whatever else I can find. Another thing to be prepared for when considering cutting photos for across pockets are the page protectors. Some brands are actually larger than they say they are which is why my photo looks very separated. So, just another thing to check before you cut your photos in half.

I hope you enjoy my first project share with you all! I can't wait to share more techniques and ideas in the coming months! Thanks for reading!
