ABCs: Loaded Pocket ATC's Free Theme

Pocket ATC's seem to be my lastest fascination- I feel like there is more surface area to decorate, you can use a 'pocket' to cover when the background paper does not quite reach to the edge of the card, and I always tuck at least a tag inside that can be decorated too. I also try to throw in some assorted ephemera that maybe my partner can use on other projects.

So I had an idea to do a 'Loaded Pocket' Buddy card swap.

You make two bases, each with a pocket.

Cards can be vertical or horizontal, though obvioulsy you can fit more goodies in a horizontal pocket!

Be creative! sometimes I use things other than paper for my pockets- fabric, wide ribbon, lace, etc....

Load each pocket with at least 8 small items which match your colors/theme such as tags, words, quotes, paper scraps, flags, tickets, die cuts, ephemera, flowers, etc....

Send both cards to you partner, who in turn will:

-Use at least 5 of the items on each card- you don't have to use the items in their natural state- feel free to rip, tear, ink edges, etc....

-You may of course use items from your own stash as well!

-Feel free to keep any extras to use on your future projects!

-Please add a few items into the pocket that you return to your partner- there is nothing sadder than an empty pocket, right?

Let's have fun with this one! I will make this a quick one, due at the end of July- if there is a good response I may do a monthly themed Loaded Pocket card swap! :)
