It's funny how some things work out. I had started this diagonal double pocket card months ago, got as far as getting the pocket done, and then put it at the back of my stamping table, on the unofficial "works in progress" pile. So yesterday when I saw the HYCCT challenge that calls for a pocket card in orange or pink, I knew it was time to finish it.
I created a tag to go in the pocket, an image panel for the front that echoes the tag, and a chipboard tag that is covered with dp (for the Ways to use it challenge to use chipboard.) On the little blue tag, it says Smiles in some sort of adhesive foil. I have a roll that of the tape that has a variety of happy words on it. (It's hard to see in the photo, I know; it's raining today and lighting is bad). All the colors are taken from the dp you see running through the middle of the card.

That's a fun pocket fold - I've made it two or three times, but it's hard for me to find a double-sided DP that isn't too thick to fold well. How lovely that you were able to pull out something and finish it off so perfectly for the two challenges.
