Good morning Technique lovers. It's good to be back and in the regular swing of things. Today marks my one-year anniversary of hostessing the Try a New Technique challenges. Can you believe that it's been a year already? How time flies, huh? Wow!
A big thank you goes out to Beth (Showmestamper) for filling in for me while I was away for a short vacation. I can see you all enjoyed her projects very much, and what great samples I see in the gallery!
I have a fun project for you today and if you love pocket projects, you are going to be thrilled with today's Technique. I first saw THIS POST and was intrigued with it, but I wanted to make it out of cardstock, rather than felt, and to make even quicker work of the project, I modified it from three pockets to two.
I have created a pictorial-step by step file for you which can be found HERE. I'm keeping my fingers cross that everyone will be able to view the document. It takes just a second to fully load. You can print it out, or you can enlarge the file at its location to see everything more closely. I'm totally excited to see what creative ways you will find to dress up this project.
To view photos of my project sample: Click HERE, HERE, HERE, and HERE.

Be sure to add the keyword TLC233 to your project when you upload them...we want everyone to be able to see your spectacular work.
HINT FOR NEXT WEEK: You will need some water color paper, a Krylon Leafing Pen (found at Michael's, K-Mart, Wal-Mart, Hobby Lobby, or any craft store) and color wash (or you can make your own from re-inkers and water). Intrigued?
What a great project for my last summer technique challenge!! It's back to work next week! I think I'm really going to enjoy this one!!! Thanks for the challenge and thanks for what looks like a great tutorial!!
Oh yes, I do like the look of that. And I've just washed the last floor, so I am all ready to go . Tidying my craft room can wait - it would only look the same after making this anyway, LOL.
Sounds fun, Lynn, and HAPPY ANNIVERSARY! You have done such a FABULOUS job this year, we have all learned so many new things...can't wait to learn 52 more new techniques this year!
Can't wait to play Lynn. Welcome back and thank you so much for a year of great challenges and learning! Gotta get some coffee and make some muffins and I'm ready to play!

Awesome technique, Lynn! Great sample. You've done such an wonderful job hostessing this challenge - thank you for that! Looking forward to learning many more techniques - thanks to you!
Thanks Lynn. Glad to have you back. What a great job you have done this past year! We all appreciate all that you do!!! Looks like another great project.
Just to say I had to make my pockets slightly narrower than Lynn said - 3 1/4 " wide, scored 1/4" in from ONE side only, as she describes. I've checked with her - she's at work at the moment and can't double check, but suggested giving a heads-up if anyone else is having trouble getting it to fit.

I noticed that in the photo, she has scored at 1/2" and that is what I did after it wouldn't fit on the card. Worked fine after that.
Happpy anniversary Lynn and all of us. It has been an amazing year of interesting and challenging techniques and I have learned so much. Thank you from the bottom of my heart and I am looking forward to what you will teach us in the next year.

Happy Anniversary Lynn...wow! Hmm, I'm going to have to try to make this without using my printer (no ink), we will see though. Thanks for the challenge.

This looks like so much fun, thanks for the challenge! I hope I have time to do it today. I might not get to it for a few weeks though. Thanks for altering the instructions to fit better with paper. Blessings, Lela
Happy Anniversary!!! I love the techniques you have chosen for us each week! Though I don't always get a chance to play, I refer others to your challenges often! Keep up the good work!!!
Thank you Lynn for the fun project. I did struggle a little with the measurements. I struggled even more getting it uploaded. A gallery moderator kept moving it into the TECHNIQUE SPOTLIGHT double pocket gallery. TOTALLY different cards. Thanks for letting me vent!!! I hope you will check out my little card because I really did like how it turned out.
Happy Anniversay - You picked a great technique today to celebrate with.
I enjoyed making this project but had trouble with the 5" x 2-7/8" piece. It was too long and stuck out from the base so I cut some off to fit. Maybe I didn't score it deep enough, although I thought I scored it at 1/2".

I promised myself a long time ago that I would not make ANYTHING Christmas - but this challenge had Christmas written all over it....so I relented.... LOL
Hi Lynn!
Happy Anniversary! This is so cute and I can't wait to make it! I did end up having to transfer this to a Word doc to print b/c the program wasn't compatible with my home or work computer. Other than that, the new program is a cool tool that I can use for other things! Thanks for always inspiring us each week and helping us to think outside of the box! This will have to wait until my off day on Thursday but I can't wait to try it! =)

I just got a leafing pen last week too - I've always just used something like the Pilot goldpens up till now for edging. So I am curious to see what we will be doing.
