The pocket is created using an extra piece of cardstock. <br /></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjG9wgrIp3XklXy7Wr_HGqzCPQOQgZlTr0CNsZ9cJDTiGaiwYfwNw77hki_2GXcDqqe5HtV97Vo8H4dQBBFiL5eMVnbzi9d72kemS1dMrLGCVuUMSlzLjaPFmdQK8sBVN2G962l584mz_U-eqLH8yKePZrZ9BWdkWKr4dvIEqwggAubgDqaWEQEhBIUGxc/s1600/eZy%20Watermark_20-12-2023_11-55-12-9560AM.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjG9wgrIp3XklXy7Wr_HGqzCPQOQgZlTr0CNsZ9cJDTiGaiwYfwNw77hki_2GXcDqqe5HtV97Vo8H4dQBBFiL5eMVnbzi9d72kemS1dMrLGCVuUMSlzLjaPFmdQK8sBVN2G962l584mz_U-eqLH8yKePZrZ9BWdkWKr4dvIEqwggAubgDqaWEQEhBIUGxc/w400-h300/eZy%20Watermark_20-12-2023_11-55-12-9560AM.jpeg" width="400" /></a></div> <p></p><p></p><p>This is looking at the opposite side <br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkNaqsCDK77U4-2yPidFkInOBL2wYx7Gs7H_I6d2_hiZxhiF-zSQWBW_Fl7R25ouV_jqVYw-btjqNykaWw5UX3BWYbq6AOenw5VBkcnYS0zmG39IGxxVkTYce7YWcAAx4EftGJVnhWWVKV4VZlrmJ4ZrnhgmAdhiT9RVtP_cVdBueHVEsKaqaoiNrGJWg/s1600/eZy%20Watermark_20-12-2023_11-56-13-9050AM.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkNaqsCDK77U4-2yPidFkInOBL2wYx7Gs7H_I6d2_hiZxhiF-zSQWBW_Fl7R25ouV_jqVYw-btjqNykaWw5UX3BWYbq6AOenw5VBkcnYS0zmG39IGxxVkTYce7YWcAAx4EftGJVnhWWVKV4VZlrmJ4ZrnhgmAdhiT9RVtP_cVdBueHVEsKaqaoiNrGJWg/w400-h300/eZy%20Watermark_20-12-2023_11-56-13-9050AM.jpeg" width="400" /></a></div><p>Here is a look from the top</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXMt7NIw3u9TBDPoF_XhZHB9UI0eOczVVsmzfBf4XS57FkW95Ujs53M3DE4GRgJ1ZcsJrjm82rNyEfhamYRAmHpCg2wIGqNw7vjlrXttsCEHHH6Ykt-3R7-y_eEFbzwwKdoOasa6kQd3ZtMQHA3IK0NVRZOmCQHQRgO0SNBfjRw9PEC11Tw8Bp7xdDUuc/s1600/eZy%20Watermark_20-12-2023_11-56-47-4230AM.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXMt7NIw3u9TBDPoF_XhZHB9UI0eOczVVsmzfBf4XS57FkW95Ujs53M3DE4GRgJ1ZcsJrjm82rNyEfhamYRAmHpCg2wIGqNw7vjlrXttsCEHHH6Ykt-3R7-y_eEFbzwwKdoOasa6kQd3ZtMQHA3IK0NVRZOmCQHQRgO0SNBfjRw9PEC11Tw8Bp7xdDUuc/w300-h400/eZy%20Watermark_20-12-2023_11-56-47-4230AM.jpeg" width="300" /> </a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">You can see on the left side the two pockets I created with some extra cardstock, that makes them useful.

a self-taught artist residing in California, USA with her husband,
daughter, pet hamster and fishes. In her early childhood years, she was
inspired by every kind of art and crafts. She loved watching
demonstrations by artists on the streets and at festivals and spent most
of her free time perusing arts and crafts books in the library,
drawing, crafting and experimenting with her art supplies at home.
Conie first started sharing her art with the world by selling ACEO
reprints of her ACEO paintings of fairies, mermaids, and kitty art on
Ebay in 2010. She was a full time account manager for a University
before becoming a full time mom and part time artist. She currently
enjoys spending time with her family traveling, exploring the outdoors,
and designing beautiful, cute, and magical art for craft and coloring
lovers. <br /></span></i></span></div><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: small;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: small;">Conie is an amazing artist and I had fun working with this image.
