What a great idea! These are so fun! I love finding ways to use cute paper (because I don’t scrapbook at all). I posted a DIY gift box tutorial at Blissful Roots. Your pockets kind of remind me of them. Thanks for sharing! It’s been pinned. Have a great day!

I just found you through TJ and I can’t tell you how much I love this. Adorable! Also, I looked though your other projects–you have some great stuff here! Therefore, I’d like to invite you to link up at my new link party (I know, an other link party?!?) but this one is different. It is for our OLD posts, great ideas that we feel didn’t get enough attention the first time around.
