Loaded Pocket and Folio

Morning and 1st of the month and the New Year-hopefully better t than the last - my post today is my first DT card for the ATG challenge at Love to Craft.
I made a loaded pocket using papers from ScrapAndMe,  I wasn't happy with it, then I made a folio to go inside and ended up quite pleased with it lol. Lots of oddments of paper from scrap box and lots are Tim Holtz I have had for years. Pockets cut with a die set from Scrapbook.com(thank you Vicki) Apologies for pics as light not good and papers are slightly darker IRL.

Matthew Update

 Apologies for not been around but my son went into hospital on the 21st (after having a tooth infection for a couple of weeks and not able to get in a dentist)not knowing who I was and did he live here or was he staying- he then went on to have a massive seizure in A&E -unconscious and we almost lost him. He spent six days in ICU and a couple of days in a ward. Finally home but at 36 he is shuffling round with head down and mumbling like an old man, still has memory loss of the last month but at least he knows who we are now and they said he could have suffered slight brain damage but just  a waiting game to see when and if it improves. Luckily I had my DT cards made so will be back on the 1st  and catching up with your blogs, desperately need something to distract me.

Thank you for dropping by.
