[@annedodd1912]

This is such a sweet story about your son being so kind to his sisters! A great story to record for posterity.

[@lauraalbertscrafts]

He's the best with them, I absolutely adore his sweet relationship with the girls.

I love this page Laura, I applaud your fussy cutting teeny tiny bits that make a BIG difference to your pages and I'm super excited for this series - Collection boxes v Variety packs? Yeah that would be BOTH! oh dear me 😉❤😘.... Help! 😍🎉😁

[@lauraalbertscrafts]

Thank you very much, Adele! Oh girl, me too! I picked up a few core kits and WAY too many value kits. I will definitely be doing lots of Pocketless pages to use them up!

[@theresametzcus5431]

Love...love...love this!! I knew there was a reason I was saving all my little triangles ❤️

[@lauraalbertscrafts]

Thank you, Theresa! Yes! Get them on a layout! Triangles are such a fun shape!

[@MsSuperklutz]

OMG Laura WOW Oh Your Layout is Beyond Gorgeous I'm so in Awe over what you created and what you made and used to achieve your Spectacular Look!! the colors are so pretty and all the papers and project life cards you chose and cut up make for fabulous photo mats and the little triangles an amazing design. It was actually mesmerizing to watch you in creative action. The Photos are so precious as is your story share and yest your little guy has lots of love and patience with his sisters and your story touched my heart big time!! You really did a Super Incredible Creative job!! Thank for your OUtstanding Tutorial and Sharing your Tremendously Terrific Tips, Tricks & Techniques!! YOU so ROCK!! Oh I never got into PL either had oodles of things at one time and gave it all to Good Will . I have watched scrappers create PL pages and I love them and Stacy Williams *who has a you tube channel* does PL and tradition scrapping and mixes them in one album and Love her but never could quite get it to work for me!! BIG HUGS, Joan Smith

[@lauraalbertscrafts]

Thank you very much, Joan! I will check out Stacy Williams, I'm loving pocket pages at the moment, but I go in rounds with it. I love it for a while and then get bored with it. My sweet boy is such a good big brother, he makes me so proud!

[@junemadrid3934]

I have those cards! And now a great idea! Thank you, thank you! I don’t do pocket pages but have quite a few cards! Now a new challenge. Thanks again!

[@lauraalbertscrafts]

Thank you very much, June! Yay! This was such a fun layout to put together! Even if you don't cut out all of those triangles, you could definitely layer them across the back as whole cards!

[@Cre8tivemom2002]

I have boxes of pocket cards; my friends and I used to split the Core collections each taking 1/3 and still had too many! I love how you show ways to use them besides just leaving them in original form. This week I actually cut out a title and an embellishment from some and it felt great to use them up. I need to go back and watch your other Pocketless Pages videos now. Thanks for sharing. - Debby

[@lauraalbertscrafts]

Thank you, Debby! I understand completely! I bought a few core kits and was overwhelmed by having so many of the same card, so I switched to value kits and bought way too many! I am determined to use them up because I don't really like rounded corner cards in my pocket pages anymore, but I can't bear to throw them away!

[@pamwilkinson3901]

Beautiful layout! Caught up?? 😅 I have my moms old pics of my childhood, her childhood and tons of my kids & grandkids. No way will I ever get caught up in this lifetime! And there’s no way I could ever make it through my stash. Way too much. Love how you are using PL cards. I have so many. Glad I found your channel.

[@lauraalbertscrafts]

Thank you, Pam! I mean “current.” I hear you on the old photos! So many to still scrap!

[@kime4026]

Loved what you did with this layout! How you created an entire strip of those triangles up top, and using the words to frame out the 3 pieces at the bottom. I too have tons of PL cards (particularly core kits) and have begun cutting pieces out of them. But I'm now going to go back to those very busy cards and see what can be fussy cut to use as a background. Thanks, Laura!!

[@lauraalbertscrafts]

Thank you, Kim! Yes, I am determined to use up these older rounded corner cards especially and the easiest way I've found is cutting them up!

[@sallyh.483]

This is a fun page. I tend to primary colors w Legos so now I have new ideas.

[@lauraalbertscrafts]

Thank you, Sally! Yes, I focused more on the colors of their clothes rather than the toys and it made it easier for me to scrap the colors I wanted to!

[@colleencornett342]

Fabulous page! Yes I have some PL cards that I was going to do a project with. I also have cut aparts building up! Looking for ideals, so excited to see these pages.

[@lauraalbertscrafts]

Thank you, Colleen! I have so many PL cards that I could never do enough PL pages to use them up! This is such a fun way to get them used on layouts and I have a playlist of these types of videos if you want to see more! kzbin.info/aero/PL9yYB-IdwKi0QnglB4c-ActCGpj7CYt1-

[@kiandra323]

I have heaps of PL cards too, what a great way to use them, I'm definitely following along with these videos.

[@lauraalbertscrafts]

Thank you, Sandra! Yes! I have so many and most of them are rounded corner cards that I don't really like anymore, so I figured cutting them up made the most sense!

[@catrb81]

Have never done Project Life - but did a fair amount of pocket pages for those events that had a ton of pictures. However, I’m getting very bored with pocket pages & started to feel very “pinned in” by them. I’ve been loving to use my project life cards, cut-a-parts, and other journaling cards, to do grid layouts. Loving the look & finally using up my gazillion cards. I feel it’s so much more “customizable” and easy to come together.

[@lauraalbertscrafts]

Very true, Cat! I felt the same way with Project Life, especially with those 3x4" pockets. I have discovered that this was a lot of my frustration with PL. 3x4" pockets are not for me. I prefer the 4x6" ones. I am doing a lot of pocket pages off camera lately and really enjoying it! It will never replace layouts, but it's so nice to have some place for those silly pictures that maybe don't need a whole layout.

[@slatsinhi]

I have so many project life cards! I had to have them and don’t do pl! But great ideas you have shared here!

[@lauraalbertscrafts]

Thank you very much, Glenda! It seems like a lot of people have PL cards that don't do Project Life. I am in that boat right now too!

[@becscreations8714]

Love all videos you do. With pocket pages could you maybe record them then put a few together so its long enough to watch. I am loving this serious as I have never done project life but have lots of pocket cards to use up. Love this layout

[@lauraalbertscrafts]

Thank you, Bec! That's a good idea! Maybe double page spreads would be enough for one video a month. This is such a fun series to do, even doing pocket pages, I have way too many cards!!

[@lindsaythirlwell5183]

I love this layout. I've also got lots of becky Higgins project life cards. I have both the core kits and value packs. Since watching you I've been fussy cutting them as needed as ephemera for my layouts. Actually the first layout I did a few months ago to get me back onto scrapping I used a whole bunch of PL cards in a grid as my background. I'm sure I got the inspiration from one of your videos.

[@lauraalbertscrafts]

Thank you, Lindsay! Yes! I bought so many core kits and value kits when I first tried pocket pages, only to realize I didn't really like rounded corner cards. So, I've made it my mission to use them up any way I can and I find fussy cutting them and cutting them down into journaling spots the easiest way!

[@sandyh8755]

Great idea for a series ! I have a lot of project life cards. Why? I don’t know. I never did PL. I guess I thought I’d like to use them in pocket pages, but I don’t even really like those. Thanks for the ideas.

[@lauraalbertscrafts]

Thank you very much, Sandy! It's been a fun series so far! So funny that you bought tons of PL cards too! I went overboard when I tried PL a couple of years ago and I am determined to use them up!

[@55Cyndi]

Yay! Great layout using up product! No to doing PL; no to wanting to watch PL YT; and no to owning PL cards. Have plenty of cut apart tho!

[@lauraalbertscrafts]

Thank you very much, Cyndi! Thank you for the feedback! I will definitely have some cut apart Pocketless pages coming and there are a few in my Playlist too!

[@madeatbentwood]

I’ve never made pocket pages, I don’t watch pocket page youtube videos but I do have a ton of pocket cards!

[@lauraalbertscrafts]

Lol, thanks for the feedback, Michelle! I think I may just do one a month and see how it does on the channel. I don't mind doing them off camera!

[@ellengates7843]

Oh, Laura, what is that glue that you use? You make use of products that you have and they add so much to your layouts. I think you could use toilet paper and make an outstanding layout!!! Really like the end result of this layout.

[@lauraalbertscrafts]

Thank you very much, Ellen! It's a Tonic Glue pen and it's fantastic!

[@lauraalbertscrafts]

Funnily enough, I have used a toilet roll on a layout several years ago for a challenge! Lol!

[@sallyh.483]

Pocket pages - no Watch P.P. videos - no Interest in how to use up cut aparts & journaling cards - YES

[@lauraalbertscrafts]

Thanks for the feedback, Sally! That's a big reason I stopped sharing my pocket pages on KZbin a year or so ago, they just didn't get much interest. Which is okay! I don't mind doing them off-camera.
