Hello there, friends! It’s Meghann Andrew with you, and I am excited to share my current favourites list for this Things We Love Thursday post! These three things are what I am really into lately—from what I want to create when I have the time, to what products I’m reaching for. Take a look!

Pocket Pages

Lately, I’ve wanted to put everything in a pocket! At the stage of life that I am in, running around after two kids and a never-ending home renovation, creating one layout at a time with just one or two photos isn’t getting the stories into my albums fast enough for the time that I have to create. Pocket pages allow me to maximize the space in my albums and get as many photos and stories into a double-page spread as possible, with minimal design effort. You don’t even have to embellish each pocket—a photo or a pretty piece of patterned paper can do the trick!

The other great thing about memory keeping in pockets? I’m reaching for those photos that show the real-life stories, not just the pretty snapshots that I may feature on a layout. In today’s double pocket page, I am documenting the first day, Monday, of my Week in the Life project from 2021, which, yes, I am still working on. There is a lot of real-life, unfiltered documentation happening on this page, and when I look back, these moments pull at my heartstrings so much, and I realize how different life looks just one year later.

With just about any size or configuration you can imagine, there is a pocket page for you and the number of photos you want to record. If you haven’t given this format a try, I challenge you to invest in just one pocket page protector package and see what you think!

I love pocket pages so much that I created a year-long class all about them, SCT365 Inside the Pocket! If you’re new to pocket page scrapbooking, this is the perfect way to learn all about it, and all of the possibilities it holds!

Pinkfresh Studio’s Life Right Now collection

I created this pocket page spread using the Life Right Now collection from Pinkfresh Studio, which is currently on my desk and the collection that I want to reach for each time I create! Not only is it pretty to look at, with a colorful palette and clean, graphic designs, (always my go-to!) it is also filled with “real life” phrases and themes that work perfectly for everyday stories, like those in Week in the Life. Take a look at some of the beautiful elements found in the collection.

From home icons to florals and everything in between, I love using this collection to record everyday memories, like in the pockets above, to fun moments to remember, like on these two layouts:

As you can see, I’m pretty smitten with the Life Right Now collection!

Scrapbook.com’s Large Stadium Organizer

The third thing I’m loving lately is actually what is storing all of the pieces from this collection on my desk currently, the Large Stadium Organizer from Scrapbook.com!

This organizer is perfect for organizing the elements from a complete collection, along with other staples like adhesive, cardstock, Scrapbook.com’s Pops of Color, and more! When I get a new collection, I organize it here, then shop my stash to see what other coordinating elements I can add to my organizer to make it a one-stop-shop for easy and quick creating! I also have the 4-compartment Stadium Organizer, which is perfect for cardmaking supplies or smaller collections of products, but you can find different options for what you need to store from the Scrapbook.com Craftroom Basics collection, too!

So, today friends, I have given you a memory-keeping format, a beautiful collection, and a storage solution for the three things that I am loving lately! I hope you’ll give all three a try and tell me how much you love them, too! Happy creating!
