You finish a layout, but then you remember you had an element you really wanted to use but you completely forgot about! I finished this layout 2 days ago, but this morning, I remembered I had bought this postcard to use for this exact layout! UGH!! I am not going to redo it, but I thought I'd just share with some folks who understand the struggle.  Jordan pond house by scrappy rabbit, on Flickr  Jordan pond house by scrappy rabbit, on Flickr |

The layout is so cute! Maybe add a pull-out for the postcard?

The layout is very cute, and the postcard is precious. I would definitely add a layout or an insert to include the post card somehow. I went on a big trip awhile ago, and am constantly going through my ephemera to make sure I include everything...some of it has had to be included creatively after the fact!

I love all the layers and yes! I do that all the time. I even have one 12x12 envelope of papers and embellishments for specific photos. Do I remember to look there first? NO.

I was thinking of getting some sort of pocket to put on the page protector. I have another layout where I couldn't choose which photo to use, so it would be helpful for that one, too.

I would be getting that post card on there somewhere. To me memorabilia is more important to a layout than paper and stickers.

Oh, I have done that, too. I get so annoyed with myself! Now I tuck embellishments or ephemera in the envelope with my photos.
I have been using 6x8 pocket pages in my 12x12 albums. I have also used my Fuse tool to create smaller pockets, just large enough to get 2 holes punched in for the binder. I really like the look in my albums. It's easy to punch new holes in the 6x8 pockets to fit the 12x12.

YES! I do that all the time. Worse, I have actually forgotten a photo and designed a page with only 2 out of the 3 focal pictures. I'm like you: "good enough".
(Plus, I really love your layout and wouldn't mess with it now!!!)

Make it either a page protector with 2 holes, or one that you can fuse to the layout's page protector that will swing out. Cute page! |

Been there, done that. How about making a layout about what you forgot to include for the original layout? I’ve often thought I should do that, but never got around to actually making the layout. However, that card is fabulous and is worthy of its own layout, in my opinion. I love the original & wouldn’t mess with perfection.

You’re layout is so cute. It’s great the way it is. But yes, I think many of us have been down that road. In fact last weekI just found those cactus stickers I was going to use on a couple of layouts I did for my trip to Arizona last year They really aren’t good for much of anything now.

I have done that too and felt so frustrated with myself for forgetting. But if the item I wanted to use can’t easily be added I just have to let it go. The memory is documented and done.

Very cute layout!
I hear you too - I forget all the time - even if I am trying to keep everything together so I don't forget! I like the suggestions here though - everyone is so creative!!!

I made a layout for an activity and forgot to mention that the reason for it was someone's birthday. Had to add on a second page so I could throw some focus onto the birthday girl  |

Yep, I hate that. I am always saving stuff for certain layouts and the forget that I have them.
I use D ring albums and often have multiple sized pages in my albums so I would just find a smaller page protector and slot it in beside, maybe do some extra journaling or another photo on the back if it is not double sided.
