My sister and niece both have birthdays in March, right around St. Patrick’s Day, so I thought it would be nice to send them a set of Art Journal Pockets.  My sister is an art teacher and my niece loves anything artistic as well so this will make a great gift for both!

Materials:  

• Tangie Baxter & Co. AJP Sheet No. TB153
• Paper Cutter
• Alphabet Stickers
• Washi Tape
• Random bits and bobs from your stash

First, I chose the beautiful AJP sheet TB153 which is a free download included in the Art Journal Pockets Workshop which is also free.  It has lovely patterns and colors to work with and green represents March and spring.  Second, I cut the pieces and arranged them in a way that looked good to me.  Aren’t they beautiful?

Next, I raided my stash to find some things that would go well with the patterns and colors on the AJPs.  I chose gold letters and embellishments, some blue and some green embellishments.  Then, I arranged the letters on the AJPs.  Beautiful!

After that, I auditioned each embellishment on the AJPs to see how I wanted them organized.  I took the pieces that made the cut and decided to add some washi tape. Here are what my Art Journal Pockets look like after they are arranged.  I just love the colors!
