Hello crafty friends, It’s Lucile here for Jen Hadfield ! Today, I am here sharing a new project with you – a pocket mini to keep your memories close at hand. For this project, I used the new collection This Is Family. I love the colors and patterns of this collection.

Make the Pocket Scrapbook Cover
To make the cover, I used two different papers from the collection. I chose a paper with patterns for the bottom and a more neutral paper for the flap. I added some die cuts and words to decorate the pocket. To close it, I used gold closure and a thread. I’d recommend trying 2 brads to get the job done!

Create Compartments Inside the Pocket Scrapbook
Inside I created several different compartments to organize my memories. I also added tags to record memories with my family.

Add Special Touches Inside the Pocket Scrapbook
To decorate the inside of my pocket mini, I added tabs that I sewed into place with gold thread. I also used some die cut shapes.

Add Die Cuts and Embellishments to the Inside of the Pocket Album
I finished the inside of my pocket mini by adding die cuts on the upper part and a paper clip of the collection as well.
