I wasn’t quite sure what to do when the title of the blog hop came up. So I went with a double layout with a few different types of pockets. Pockets are really useful for many things like; adding journalling, when you don’t want your handwriting seen on your page; adding bits and bobs you’ve collected along the way; and making your page a bit more 3D.
I’ve done a neural double layout with black cardstock to show of the pocket tags. I loved using both my photos and a die to make my pockets.
My first page is quite busy, with a map of the hotel in the background, my name tag and a pocket for my journalling behind the bottom right photo.
My second page uses the mini pocket envelope dies to make a tag for my bits and bob. The photos on the page were raised with foam adhesive strips to make the pockets.
I’ve used black cardstock to make the tags and a retired punch to shape the edges and punch the holes in them for the baker's twine bows. Cream baker's twine was tied in a bow to make it easy to pull the tags out. I used a white Gell pen to journal on the tags.
I have used the following supplies, which can be ordered from my online store at

I love using all the bits and bobs I bring back from my travels. How do you incorporate your maps, tickets and bling in your scrapbook pages? I would love to hear. Thanks for popping in and reading my blog.

Love your take on the theme Caz! Seems I might have stumped a few people on what to make. Your pages are lovely and definitely my style.

Another great layout and a fabulous idea to use a map as your background. The tags are great for adding more to your layout. I am going to take away the idea of using Stampin' Dimensionals to raise your photographs up to put the tags behind.

Love this Caz, You have used the brief in a way I would not have thought of. That way allowing yourself almost double the capacity of your double layout.

I love the pockets on your page. I forget to use these and they are so handy to hold those memorabilia we want to display.
