Great title, you are so brave to stamp after everything is done. 😮

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Thank you my friend! It is a little scary stamping when you are that far into the layout 😂

[@jodigilliland6868]

Santa always comes while we are at church on Christmas Eve… and then we always open all of the gifts that night. ❤️

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

That sounds like a fun tradition!

[@cynthiamatthews7655]

Always Christmas Eve and know that wait haha xx

[@springchick28]

I love how your layout turned out with the scraps you had leftover. Beautiful! 🎄 TFS, Monika

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Hi Monika, it’s so nice to use up the little bits, I’m glad you like it.

[@janicerepass5424]

Beautiful layout! Growing up we always opened our gifts on Christmas Eve!! I carried that on with my own children when they were young. My parents and sister and her kids would get together and exchange our gifts, and then our own family and Santa's gifts were opened on Christmas morning. So much fun! But I do remember the fatigue of Christmas Eve, trying to get everything done after the kids had settled in!

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

It is such a fun tradition! The boys are old enough now I just might let them play Santa 😆

[@dellaknick9311]

Beautiful layout ! So happy I found your videos . Thank you for all your helpful instruction . So excited to try the journaling ideas .

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Thank you so much Della, I am glad you are enjoying the videos!

[@debithomas4043]

Really nice page and good ideas for using scraps. When the kids were home, they were able to open one gift on Christmas Eve, and everything else was opened on Christmas morning. 😊

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

It must have been so hard to choose which gift to open! Lol

[@louisebrislane6607]

This layout is so different from the usual style of layouts that are done & it has come together so beautifully. I think it is one of my favourites & yet when you started I couldn't see how it could come together & yet it suddenly did in all its simplicity & looks very elegant in the finished product. My g/daughter has been wrapping all her gifts over the past few days & I notice that others have also started wrapping theirs so today I will try to start wrapping mine, a job I don't like as my hands are getting clumsier these days, so I have been saving boxes to make the job easier, plus I only have a 2 foot space to work in.` It is my great g/daughter's fourth birthday today & she will be coming over to stay with daddy tonight so we will have a family party & I believe that my g/daughter is going to get Vienna to help her decorate the tree, either tonight or on the weekend when it is daddy's turn to have her. At this stage it looks like Vienna comes to daddy at midday on Christmas day so we will have lunch then & afterwards 'rape' the tree of ALL its goodies as my family love to give gifts. Last year it was our turn to have Vienna in the morning, so maybe again next year it will be a morning, who knows!! She has a mother who is always trying to change the times. My grandson is a wonderful father!! I wish he had been mine to be honest! 😀

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Hello there! I’m so glad you enjoyed watching this layout come together. I hope you were able to get those gifts wrapped and enjoy your great granddaughters 4th birthday! Lots of festivities happening in your house for sure. Sounds like a lovely way to spend the holidays.

[@Melsstampingallery]

Fun use of the scraps and such a different look from your usual,layouts, love it! Very brave to stamp the title on the finished layout!😊

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

It’s always a little scary to stamp on the layout lol 😆

[@debbiee9444]

Oh my, I love your layout 😍 It really is beautiful ❤

[@katrinaslager7803]

I agree it's nice to be able to use a black pen to fill in imperfect stamping spots. When the kids were still at home we did presents Christmas Eve, leaving Christmas day for Worship and visiting local family. Wishing you a blessed Christmas Erin!

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

The trusty black pen trick to the rescue! Wishing you a wonderful and blessed Christmas as well.

[@JessicaGerald81]

It’s very helpful that you demonstrate how you think through the process.

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Thank you Jessica, I appreciate the positive feedback and am glad it is helpful.

[@karengarces7254]

Thanks for help with scrapbooking scraps!

[@terrylkasper8541]

So pretty! Always enjoyable to watch you, Erin!

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Thanks Terryl, I hope you are having a wonderful Christmas holiday!

[@taniab2018]

My gosh I really love this. I am slowly learning to use my scraps on my pages. It can sure be tough. Love the way you did the journalling, too. Sometimes journalling right on the background can be hard to read. Our family tradition was always to open just one gift on Christmas Eve before bed. My maternal grandparents tended to not be shoppers; we would get a card with money in it, so that was the thing we opened that night.

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Hello Tania, it is always so satisfying to use up your scraps. That is a fun family tradition! I can imagine my kids taking forever to decide which one to open.

[@joycemarks3678]

Another beauty Erin…my scraps are building…and this layout has given me ideas on how to utilize those scraps! Thank you!

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

You are so welcome! Have fun 😃

[@katistamps]

I love the clear label idea! Pretty layout!!

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Thank you Kati, I love how easy it is to use.

[@janwright9309]

Love how you just create a beautiful layout and walk us through your thoughts.

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Thank you Jan, I’m glad you enjoy hearing the thought process.

[@Ms.G.Creates]

I can’t believe how creative you are with scraps! So inspiring! My family is Polish, so we always celebrated on Christmas Eve. Now, with my own family, we continue to do Christmas Eve with my side of the family, and then Christmas morning is just us four, followed by a bigger celebration with my husband’s side of the family in the afternoon of the 25th. Kids love it because it’s opening presents 3x haha

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Hello my friend! Haha, I bet the kids enjoy 3 different rounds of presents, I know I would!

[@sherrystrasheim6210]

I absolutely love your channel! You make everything look so easy and you have such a calm and relaxing vibe. You are truly inspirational. My family growing up opened gifts on Christmas Eve and Santa gifts were in the morning. I raised my kids with the same tradition but I don't know what happened... They both ended up switching it up with their kids, they open and have Santa gifts on Christmas day 🤷

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Thank you Sherry, that is a really nice compliment! That is funny they switched things up with their own families. I always enjoyed the Christmas Eve tradition.

[@lindarogers6209]

Erin, what a lovely layout. I really enjoyed watching your scraping process. TFS

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Thank you Linda, I am so glad.

[@nancywalton4963]

Love this layout, I’ve been in a slump but hoping to get creative soon.

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

I understand, we all get into a slump from time to time. That is usually when I start scraplifting because I lack inspiration.

[@dianeshaw2433]

Loved seeing how you could create such a beautiful layout with traps! Growing up my family opened gifts on Christmas Eve. When I married, my husband liked the tradition so we continued that tradition with our children. When our son married, his wife's family also did Christmas Eve, also our son was a fire fighter so he didn't always have Christmas Eve off so we had to become very flexible when it came to getting together. That of course was more important than hanging tight to family traditions.

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Hello Diana, you are right, making it work to include family is the most important factor. One year we celebrated Christmas with my sister almost a week early because that’s when she was available. Wishing you a blessed Christmas holiday!

[@eleanorhora8563]

This was so neat. Love all the scraps you pulled together for this and the added bling. Enjoy watching you create your layouts and your tutorial is always so well explained! Wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year🌲🌲🌲

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Thank you! A very Merry Christmas to you too!

[@angelaebert2556]

I loved watching you talk us through your process with the scraps and seeing how it all came together - Beautiful!!!!! The journalling on that special paper is new to me; really like how it disappears, a-lot like vellum but it’s already got adhesive all over it 😮 WONDERFUL, I will be trying to find it in Australia TFS.

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Hello Angela, I’m happy to hear you enjoyed the layout process. It’s always nice to use the little bits and pieces. I believe my friend Janice was able to get her hands on the sticker paper in Australia. I really enjoy adding my journaling in this manner and hope you love it!

[@ScrapbookingQuebec]

I love how this turned out. I'll check out the recommended video. TFS!

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Thank you, I am glad to hear it!

[@susieramick7202]

It was so much fun watching you put this together. I kept wondering where you were going with all those scraps but as always you put a wonderful page together. Thanks, Erin. Merry Christmas 🎄

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Thanks Susie, I am glad you enjoyed it! It is kind of fun working with smaller pieces.

[@JudeCrafts]

Lovely layout as always Erin!

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Thank you Judy, I appreciate that.

[@JessicaDipzinskiThePaperHeart]

Beautiful use of scraps! 😍 I really want to try your journaling tip!

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

You should, the sticker paper is awesome. Just make sure your hands are clean or you will have permanent fingerprints in your journaling 😂

[@sherirubini1481]

how stunning! you are so very talented! thank you for sharing with us.

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Awww 🥰 thanks, I love using up the bits and pieces like this.

[@rondaladuke6106]

WOW! I love how this turned out!

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Thank you, it’s always nice to use up those scraps!

[@hoodie427]

Love it and thanks for sharing your thought process as you went, I love getting that insight! Love the way this turned out.

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Thanks so much, I am glad you enjoy it.

[@gabrielaenriquezderiverade2489]

Your creativity is awesome!

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Thank you! 😊 This is a great way to use up those scraps we all have.

[@jocelynwoodcock1881]

Beautiful layout. Thanks for the inspiration from your page title as I was inspired to create a 'the night before Christmas ' page. It's ended up as 'Christmas Eve' due to my stash, but I'm still pleased with my page 🎄❤️

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Thank you! It is always nice to use your stash and make the title work. I am glad you were inspired.

[@cherylrobertson5629]

Love this so much! ❤

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Thank you Cheryl!

[@ellaconner9452]

Love the patterned papers on this page! Pretty layout and fun story 😊. We do all gift exchanging on Christmas Day. Both my husband and myself did that growing up and have continued it in our marriage. Cute story about your dog and the “gifts” 😂. TFS

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Thank you Ella, it’s nice to use up all the smaller pieces of that pretty patterned paper. I hope you have a wonderful Christmas holiday this year!

[@cindycreel3711]

I loved the layout

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Thank you Cindy, merry Christmas!

[@Amievico]

We open a Christmas Eve gift which happens to be matching pjs. Surprise! Lol. Everything gets opened Christmas morning

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Haha I love that tradition. I have a friend that does matching pjs and their Christmas morning photos always look so cute.

[@karencalnin6211]

Love all of your layouts. We open our gifts on Christmas Day. Unfortunately it is always hot in Australia for Christmas so the papers don’t always match our photos. I love winter papers but never have any photos to match.

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Thank you Karen! Do you get snow when you are in winter?

[@stampbooker]

Love how you used all of those scraps to create a cute layout! Did you set up a tripod to take the photos? Such a great story to document! So good to see the Chocolate alphabet stamp set! Haven’t used mine in years!!

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

One of the boys took the photo because they were procrastinating going to bed 😂 I have been known to set up a tripod through, otherwise I would rarely exist in the albums

[@scrapbooksandmemories]

I never throw out scrap paper, too expensive to waste nowadays.

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Right? I totally agree.

[@ej3016]

am more of a card maker / TN memory planner but I love getting ideas from you scrappy gals (Heba included 😃😉) - my scraps get repurposed by a Community Worker our church employs - these past three years she’s made craft kits for her families so they could be used at home - we used to have a group of crafty ladies who met monthly to make cards for seniors / shut ins but seems they have stopped being crafty as they themselves have aged into the groups the cards were for 😕 always someone somewhere who can be crafty with our scraps - thanks for your wonderful videos and all your great ideas 🙏🇨🇦
