Interactive Scrapbooking: The Magic of Custom Pockets

Custom Sketch- Let’s Strip
What’s In Your Pocket?

Create Your Own Pocket Happiness with Seaside Wishes & Everyday Happiness!

Have you ever wanted to add a secret touch to your scrapbook layouts? Whether it’s a hidden journaling spot, a small keepsake, or a fun interactive element, a custom pocket is the perfect way to make your memory-keeping even more special!

Today, I’m sharing a fun, versatile, scrapbook spread using the Seaside Wishes stamp set, Everyday Happiness designer paper and stickers, along with À La Mode and Birthday Celebration dies. These elements came together to create a pocket perfect for tucking away a little happiness. And the best part? You can personalize your pocket to match any theme!

I used my custom sketch called Let’s Strip to create this pattern. Want a copy? Join my newsletter to get this sketch free!

Making Your Own Personalized Pocket

For this project, I created a beach-inspired pocket,  filled with seashells, and a hidden pocket perfect for storing journaling cards or tiny treasures like secret notes, journaling or mini photos. The hidden pocket technique is simple: use 3D foam strips to lift a 4″ x 4″ mat, then cut a square and tuck your keepsake underneath!

But the pocket is not  just for seashells! There are endless possibilities to fit any theme. Here are some fun ideas to personalize your pocket:

  • Shopping Theme: Use the Attention Shoppers stamp set (#162804) to create a pocket with a cute plant, flowers, or a wine bottle – great for capturing memories of a fun shopping trip!
  • Whimsical Theme: The Playing in the Rain stamp set (#160542) includes an adorable turtle or piglet—perfect for adding a playful touch to a springtime layout.
  • Fishing Theme: Love the great outdoors? The Gone Fishing stamp set (#161535) lets you create a pocket for a fishing adventure, featuring fish, tackle, or even a tiny fishing net!
  • Bee-Themed Pocket: Use the Meant to Bee stamp set (#151702) to decorate with bees and flowers, adding a buzzing burst of happiness to your pages.

What’s in Your Pocket?

Pockets are such a versatile way to add interactivity and personality to your scrapbook pages. Whether you’re tucking away a special note, a meaningful quote, or a little treasure, your pocket becomes a secret keeper of joy.
