Hidden Journaling Pocket Scrapbooking Technique

There are times when you wish that you could hide the journaling on your scrapbook pages. Perhaps you simply don't have room on your scrapbook page layout to include a journaling box or you don't want people to see your handwriting, a hidden journaling pocket is the perfect solution. To begin, you will need a photo. Here I have used a full size, standard, 4x6 inch photograph. You also need a piece of cardstock to use as a journaling card. This card can be any size that is 1 inch smaller than the photo in both length and width. Here I used a 3x5 inch piece of white cardstock. The tab pieces are made from a 1 1/2 x 3 1/2 inch piece of patterned cardstock and a couple of flowers or circles cut from patterned cardstock. You will also need a sticky adhesive such as a permanent adhesive runner or photo tape.
