The final design of this scrapbook page did not leave room for journaling. Therefore, I decided to use a hidden journaling pocket that slides behind the focal point photo. The pocket is constructed by placing photo tape on the back of the photo mat in such a way as to leave an opening for the card to slide freely in and out. I printed my journaling on the card and then attached the card to a strip of cardstock to help make a tab to give the card a handle. The tab is covered with a leaf and berry embellishment to match the page. The embellishment makes the journaling truly hidden since it blends with the page layout. Also read the step by step directions for making a hidden journaling pocket and the step by step directions for how to use your computer printer to print on tags and journaling cards.
