This week for the ways to use it challenge...you've got to pick a pocket or two....pockets and pieces that is! So pull out your pockets and pieces accessories set and find ways to use it. You are also welcome to use the accordian book kit or anything else similar. deeth1 has requested a challenge for using file folders so if you try out the file folder idea...brownie points for you!;) Here is her card...
Now if you don't have pockets and pieces, don't despair! You can try and be creative and make a faux file folder or pocket...have fun! Here is a link to the pocket MamaKimberly created .... Gallery at Splitcoaststampers
As always, please remember to put WT50 in your keywords section and post a link back here so that we can all see your work. Feel free to play this challenge for as many times and for as long as you like! There are no time limits or card limits...keep showing us lots of ideas!
Can't wait to see what you come up with!
Happy stamping,
Oooh, this one's tough! I can't wait to try. Julia, your sample is so beautiful I'm a bit intimidated! Thanks for the challenge!
Don't be intimidated! I've had all week to think about the idea! Some of the best cards are the simpler ones. I just didn't know when to stop, I was having so much fun and the kids were sleeping.;)
Julia, your card is totally jaw-dropping gorgeous! Now if I can just pick my jaw back up off the floor.... Great challenge! Don't have P&P, but I do have the mini envelope template AND the new card cover template from the spring mini. Haven't used either. I also like the idea of the file folder. Did you need the photo clip to keep that closed in your sample, or was that just for decoration?

Thanks Melody! The file folder will stay closed, I just thought it would be fun to turn the photo turn to open it. it also helped balance the design a little too.

No P & P
No P & P here, but I have made pockets, envelopes and file folders before, so I will come up with something....waaaay later today, lots to do before then :(
I don't have pockets and pieces either, but I did get a library card pocket punch recently which I haven't tried! That just might work for this challenge!
I don't have P&P's either....but I did check out Kimberly's template on the link below and she gave great instructions. I will go for it when I get home. Sad to admit that I'm looking here while I am at work. Gasp!! I know you are all shocked and disgusted.
Thanks for a great challenge Julia. Your sample below is just extraordinary.
No P&P's for me either. I'll have to check out the template. I have a doctor appointment this morning and have to have more lab work, so I'll have to give it a try later on, can't wait to see what I can come up with though!
The greatest challenge eva'!! I've soooo been wanting to use mine more and have searched in the gallery not finding much listed under my "search" requests! LOL! So....inspire me ladies!! I did see your card Julia...beautiful! Now I see the challenge! Yeah!
It's a good excuse to open up that package of Pockets and Pieces that I bought last July!!
Susan
Ditto! Just so you know, it's all JulieHRR fault. I read one of her threads back in July that pockets and pieces were going to be really popular. So.........I listened to Julie and bought them. Maybe they are popular but I haven't any creative ability to use them. Thanks for the challenge. Maybe after work I will pull out the pieces.

I will be back later as I have little ones to get off to school but here is one that I had in my gallery! Gallery at Splitcoaststampers
I know it looks like there is just a tag slapped onto the cardfront but really there is a vellum pocket there IRL. The scan doesn't do much for this card:(
Julia, your card is incrediable. I think I should just mail you all my never used pockets and pieces. Unlike me, you seem to know just what to do with them.
Just so you all know...make lots of cards and they don't all have to have a pocket or file folder...you can use the ticket stubs, and other things too that I don't have a clue what to do with! My daughter is playing Nancy in Oliver at school so I just couldn't resist the pick a pocket title.
OK, I'll be stamping during the View today. I'll post before it's over hopefully! I haven't had time to stamp the other challenges this week, so maybe I'll atempt to do several challenges at once!

Maybe we should make Julie play along! Show us what to do!
Oh... I'm having Challenge withdrawls! I've been busy and have only done one for CC51 and I don't even really like the one I did! :rolleyes:
I'm with those of you who don't have Pockets and Pieces. I hope to get to play today! I'll have to hurry up and get my work done so I can play. ;-)
I will definately have to put on my "Creative Thinking Cap"! LOL
Thanks Julia for such a great challenge!
