When I saw the Mojo Monday card was a grid card I was determined to go into my scrap pile to create my grid card. So the stamped backgrounds, embossing and paper were all in my scrap pile. (Yeah!)
I stamped a variety of images and words on the scraps to add to the stamped backgrounds. My word is happiness. The sentiment actually is Embrace Happiness and I love it!
The products: Cuttlebug Embossing Folder, 7 Dots Studio Paper, Hero Arts Wood Finish, Friends Definition, Flourishes Berry Sweet, Lily Bee Designs Clear Stamp Set, Marks Finest Papers, Inkadinkado, Prima Flowers, EK Success Punches

I was asked by a few people what I did to create my pocket tag from the other day. So I took a few more pictures and created a template with score lines and measurements drawn on the paper. So you can skip this part of my post if you haven't any interest. :)The project:
The measurements for the pocket:
- Cut a 3" x 6" piece of white cardstock.
- Score from left side 1/4", 1/2", 3/4".
- I made the center part a little bit larger than the 4 1/4" you will end up making the next score at 5 1/8", 5 3/8", 5 5/8"
- Score along the bottom 1/4", 1/2", 3/4".
- Cut out corners. (Trim a little further in on the bottom from the corner.) You can see on mine below that the folds conflicted with each other as they were tight.
- Fold score line (3/4" from edge) under.
- Fold second score line (1/2" from edge) forward.
- Fold last score line (1/4") under.
- Tape 1/4" around the edges and attach to the main panel which measures 4 1/4" x 5 1/2".
The back and bottom view:
I attached my pocket on the outside of the main panel. I should have put it on the inside for a cleaner look. :)
Hope that helps. Sorry for the long post.
