Hi everyone. I had a major job change that took me away from sitting at a desk in front of the computer all day. It’s been about 2 years since I’ve done any scrapping but am getting the itch to get back at it. I think I’m going to start by using the pocket pages at first until I get my mojo back. What sites are popular now for pocket scrapping/project life ideas and supplies? I’ve found Hobby Lobby and M’s don’t carry PL anymore and our Tuesday Morning is very low on the PL supplies as well.
Thanks so much! Karen

Welcome back to the fun side! I do very few PL type pages, so can't help you with links. Alot of the 12x12 papers I buy have at least one or two sheets of cut-apart cards on per collection.
What do you usually scrap about? What were your favourite manufacturers before you took your hiatus from scrapping? There is a mega thread of fall releases for most lines, plus a mega thread on Christmas/winter/holiday lines that you might look through to see what is "out there".

Welcome back! There are lots of people who will help you out with where to get pocket page cards. My only idea was TM, but it sounds like you've already checked that out. The Becky Higgins thread is a nightmare (a bitchy-fun nightmare, a lot to jump right into if you're wondering what happened to PL) but if you ask there I'm sure there are lots of people who can help you find what you need if you don't get answers here.

I’ve also recently retuned from a long scrapbook hiatus. For pocket pages, I’ve used the Becky Higgins kits I’ve found at Tuesday Morning, plus many of the pocket kits I’ve found at Scrapbook.com and from some other kit sites. I personally like Cocoa Daily pocket kits, but that’s a monthly subscription. As mentioned above, there are several lines that have cut apart pages for pocket kits too. If you look at the FSOT board here or in other scrappy sites, there may be people selling excess pocket cards. Many subscriptions now are pocket scrapping or travel notebook based, so check out some of the popular scrap companies now. There is lots of pocket scrapping inspiration. Welcome back! I realized when I was going through my craft stuff that I really missed paper crafting and scrapbooking.

Welcome back! 😁
I don't exclusively do pocket pages, but often use them as embellishments.
Recently I found several different packs of PL cards & WRMK Albums Made Easy cards at tye Dollar Tree.
I also love cut apart sheets that many manufacturers offer.

Welcome back! Hope you'll have loads of fun getting back into the craft and life-documenting. Project Life as a physical product offer has significantly decreased and actually died down over the past few years. Many pocket documenters nowadays use products from subscription offers and other vendors. It's been a bonanza for independent designers as well. You can also use digital supplies to print yourself as many designers offer PL cards this way. The big names of brands and designers offering Project Life-type cards (almost exclusively vertical 3x4 and horizontal 4x6 these days): Ali Edwards, Studio Calico, Citrus Twist, Feed Your Craft, Cocoa Daisy, Kelly Purkey (new online shop opening this autumn), In A Creative Bubble, Paislee Press, etc. There are so many options out there but none of these offer the big, bulky kits filled with repeated cards like Becky Higgins used to. The industry as a whole has moved on from the core kit concept.

Welcome back! I have some PL pages in my stash and add them to my album for big events. They become part of my normal 12x12 albums. And not only 12x12 - I love the PL sizes that are narrow too. You could check out amazon for the divided page protectors - I picked up an assortment pack there.
I think Hip Kit also has a PL kit? I don't subscribe to them, but they are the kit I watch and wish I could join. Simple Stories is a company that does great cut apart papers with every collection.

Welcome back! I'm also jumping back into PL but I've been "accumulating" aka hoarding past PL kits from Ali Edwards, Kelly Purkey, etc. I've also bought some from Feed Your Craft, Citrus Twist Kits and digital kits from In a Creative Bubble. Simple Stories also has pocket page cutapart sets.

Sorry if I missed someone else suggesting it, but Elle's Studio also has bright colorful pocket card kits.
