My totally interactive bits and bobs seaside layout

i found myself with a lot of spare bits and pieces after my holiday ad i need a safe place to put them so i made a layout with lots of pockets.

 i used a wood grain mask with modeling paste in the corners and the inked over it with Tim Holtz antique linen ink. i then cut a 8.5 X 8.5 square using papermania Ahoy there papers i used the 12X12 pack. the title is cut from Tim Holtz Vintage Market alpha dies.

 the side pocket was inspired by Corene's creations here is a link to the videos http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_o9H9MaO3XU. i used a program called Poladroid a free program that lets you turn photos into vintage Polaroid photos. you can find it here http://www.poladroid.net.

 i love using these as there is plenty of space for journaling and notes.

the bunting is made from felt as i love to include lots of textures were possible. i used the X-cut Scalloped edge bunting nesting dies and used the smallest one in the set. i then cut a set of mustaches using the Memory box die. you will need to go over it at least 3 times and trim around it with sharp scissors but it depends on your cutting machine. i used the bigshot with the cutting base set on no 2 with a magnetic sheet under neath.

page two is made up of lots of pockets, i got the templates free off pin interest and once i had printed them out i used a laminating machine to coat them  in plastic so  i could keep using them. you can find the templates here  http://www.pinterest.com/katie20121/templates-and-patterns/. for the pocket in the corner i drew around one of the pockets from my Grace Taylor adhesive pockets and tags pack.

here are all the things in my pockets.

the shaker was made out of plastic wrap and added seed beads and die cuts from kanban and sewed up the pocket. i hope you found this tutorial helpful please let me know by leaving a comment.
