Pocket Pages Challenge

Today's Monday Challenge at October Afternoon is all about using pocket pages in unusual ways. I cut a pocket page apart and used a piece with six 2" x 2" squares to make a fun card, using, amongst other products,...wait for it...stamps (yes, I, Vivian Masket, said "stamps") from the generic Daily Flash collection:


Here's a closer look that lets you see the pocket page a bit more clearly:


I stamped the glasses and mustaches/lips on cream colored cardstock and then laid chipboard frames over the cardstock, trimming the cardstock to fit. The three speech bubbles come from the Daily Flash Flash Blurb packs, one each from the Apple Cider, Eggnog, and Milk Money collections. After I had finished the stamping/framing, I slid each component into a pocket and glued it in place. I attached the pocket page to the background patterned paper using white staples and then adhered the whole thing to a 5" x 7" card base made from white cardstock.

Here are the two stamp sets I used:


I love that, in addition the the mini collections that are part of the Daily Flash line, there are generic products that coordinate across lines. I used another one of those fun products here, the Frame Up chipboard set:


Please be sure to check out the October Afternoon blog post today, as you must see Roree Rumph's project for this challenge - my jaw literally dropped when I opened my inbox and saw what she'd created!
