Scrapbook Pages with Hidden Journaling

Design by Jana Eubank

To create a clever home for several tags' worth of journaling, Jana stitched pockets into a strip of curved paper located at the bottom of her layout.

Editor's Tips: Break up lengthy journaling by writing small portions on several tags. Stitch layers of patterned paper together to make the pockets, using a zigzag stitch for a decorative element.

Finish your tags by attaching colorful brads to the tops before sliding them into the pockets. Select colors that match your patterned paper to tie your layout together.
