I am a HUGE fan of clear elements in my pocket pages these days, and the transparency pieces in the Summer Vibes collection kit seem made to shine all on their own. I used several die cut shapes from The Cut Shoppe, love how easy they are to use! The 'lifeguard on duty' cut file from Life's A Beach set in their shop paired perfectly with a photo of my daughter + her fellow coworkers from this summer. I cut it from white cardstock, and then added gold metallic embossing powder to it...then just stapled it to the 'hello' transparency and slipped it into the upper right pocket. 

It's fun to kind of get a 'sneak peek' of what's coming up on your next pocket page by allowing the transparencies to stand alone. 

The EmotiCards set is right on trend and cuts like a dream...I backed the 'happy days' card with the B side of a 3x4 Summer Vibes card and added a few doodles. After placing it into a 4x6 pocket, I reailzed that the van diecut fit perfectly alongside it, so I just tucked it in the same 4x6 pocket. Again, this allows for some 'clear' pocket space, which I LOVE!! The 2x12 pocket along the left side was filled with some random Bits & Pieces, and I sealed each little pocket with the Fuse tool (WOW!!)...versatility at it's finest, and I didn't have to limit myself to just one or two diecuts. ;)

Just a friendly reminder, that photos are for embellishing as well...they aren't sacred relics that should only be handled with care, lol. I added stickers to both of the photos at the bottom of this page, so don't hesitate to give it a go!! ;)

Don't say farewell to summer just yet...there are still plenty of warm + sunny days ahead!!
