Note: These instructions work for a 12" x 12" layout as well. You could also adhere the 8-1/2" x 11" pocket to a 12" x 12" page.

1. Start with a piece of double-sided 8-1/2" x 11" card stock, or glue two pieces of card stock back to back.

2. Crease the bottom of the paper lengthwise to find the center.

3. Fold the bottom left and bottom right corners to form the pocket.

4. Trim 1-1/2 inches off the top.

5. Seal the center seam of the pocket with the keyhole from L’il Davis. You can use stickers, ribbon or a bookplate.

6. Align the point of the pocket to the bottom center of coordinating card stock or paper and adhere.

See the images below for more designs created using this basic technique.

Ribbon Holder Page

Here's another great way to display your keepsakes. For this layout, you'll make ribbon holders, simply attaching the ribbon to card stock using brads. This layout holds recipe cards from family members, but you could easily adjust the spacing of your ribbon to better accommodate all kinds of keepsakes.

Materials:

ribbon
paper
scissors
adhesive
brads
memorabilia
awl or paper needle
pencil
ruler

1. Cut a piece of ribbon the width of your paper plus 2 inches.

2. Fold the edges of your ribbon around your paper. Adhere to the back of your paper.

3. Place brads on each end of the ribbon.

4. Evaluate the memorabilia that you would like to include. Based on the dimensions of your keepsakes, use a pencil to lightly mark where the brads should be placed.

5. Using an awl or paper needle, punch through the ribbon and paper at the pencil markings.

6. Insert brads.
