Sometimes people have report cards and old letters and things that they want to keep in their newer scrapbooks. And this is a really easy way to do it. You're going to take a scrap of paper, any size will do. You're going to fold up, meet the ends up like this sort of like a paper taco. See that? Grace: That's cool. Sonya: And then you're going to adhere the sides, again, with your scrapbook adhesives. Grace: This is the disposable one, right? Sonya: This is the disposable one. I switched it up a little bit for you. But you're going to adhere the two sides like this. Fold those two ends together. You still have a pocket. Grace: And what do you put in there? Sonya: ...that you can slip in here. And what you can do is you can slip maybe a handwritten letter. You can slip a journaling tag that has writing on the back of it. You can slip that in there. Grace: How fun! Sonya: It's sort of like a little surprise, a little giftie. You can put report cards, ticket stubs, any little paper memorabilia that you want to keep in your scrapbook. You just have to adhere the journaling pocket into the page. Grace: Great. And the paper is available also at The Crop Circle? Sonya: thecropcircle.net Grace: Great. Alright. Well, that was it.
