Love this layout!!
Loved the video showing how to cut down a peek-a-boo pocket. I’ve tried a couple of different ways in the past, with limited success. I will definitely be using this technique in the future – thank you!
That video was great! It’s a whole new unique way to use the pockets!
I enjoy the challenges. I only have small peek a boo pockets; guess it will really be a challenge! I’m looking forward to that new circle cutter, as I cannot find my cutting system since moving!
What an amazing technique! I love peekaboo pockets but sometimes I have an odd size I need. Thank you for the video with clear instructions. Can’t wait to try it on a page.
When the video first started, I thought “why would I cut one down”, but after watching the rest of it, I see how well it mirrors what was on the page and it’s so cute. Now I know that I can adapt the peek-a-boo pocket to what I need, instead of trying to make the contents full size.
