Love the flip pockets and can't wait to get them.

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

They are so simple and very handy. It’s fun to mix them in from time to time.

[@mahalakshmisivashankar1742]

First comment here! I just love the way how everything comes together in the end!

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Hello and thank you, I am so glad you enjoyed it. Always fun to be the first comment right?

[@maryberklund750]

Love this paper. I just finished using the scrapbook kit and have some leftover so thanks for the inspiration

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Hello Mary, it is a fun summer collection. It’s always nice to use it up isn’t it?

[@ericasullivanworthy1687]

I loved how you used your pocket cards on this traditional layout. ❤️

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Thank you Erica, I am a big fan of pocket cards on my 12x12 layouts. Sometimes I cut them up for embellishments or use them to add layers. I love the versatility!

[@katistamps]

Fun layout! I love the extra pictures added between the layout pages.

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Thank you Kati! I love the pocket plus pages 😃

[@kimberlyshipp7407]

Love the layout. I am interested in getting back into scrapbooking and didn't know about close to my heart until recently. I am interested in a catalog. I have been watching you videos and your layouts are beautiful

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Hello Kimberly that is so great you are getting back in the Scrapbooking. It is such a wonderful hobby and I love the community. CTMH has been around a long time and I am a big fan because of the quality and the product coordination makes my life a lot easier. I am so glad you have been enjoying the videos and I hope you are finding lots of inspiration. It is always nicer to have the catalog in your hands but you can see it online really well. I will add you the link below. The awesome news is CTMH will give you a free catalog with your order. Right now they are even including the new core catalog which will be live August 1. Just be sure to add it to your cart when prompted. Please let me know if I can help in any way. Happy crafting!

[@debbieburgess680]

OMG what a great layout with the extra page for photos can't wait to try this out. Thanks Erin....

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Thanks Debbie, it’s such an easy way to add all those extra photos 😃

[@eleanorhora8563]

Always love what you create, but really enjoyed watching this coming together. Your layering and paper/pocket choices are a plus! Flip flaps are such a great way to keep extra photos and I love to use them! TFS

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Hello Eleanor, the bright color palette and fun summer theme has really been enjoyable to work with. I’m so glad you like it.

[@createwithmissjane]

[@JaniceGilhooley]

Such a fun day of memories, perfect for this collection. Love it all!

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Thank you Janice. The bright colors really capture the mood.

[@robbieminor6349]

I just love the way you layer with ease. I just can’t do that yet. Love this layout

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Haha don’t let me fool you, there are days I struggle and have to walk way from a layout. It gets easier with practice though. So glad you enjoyed the layout.

[@sherylimamura3046]

Wow! You made that look so easy. Love your style of layering! 🥰

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Thank you Sheryl, some days they come together easily and others take a little longer. I love layering scraps like this, I’m glad you enjoyed the layout.

[@craftyeeyorelover7689]

Omg this is a super duper cute layout. Love everything. Gonna have to get me some of those flaps and pages. They got 12 x 12 only?

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Hello! They are a staple in my craft room and make it so easy to add all those extra pics! I’m so glad you like the layout.

[@papertherapywithamy4153]

Love your style Erin! Aren’t you excited for the assortment of enamel embellishments that are coming up in the new Core! My customers will like them I think!

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Hi Amy, yes I am super excited, they are awesome! So many fun new goodies coming our way.

[@colleenhull9052]

Hi Erin love looking at at your videos. But I have a question when you use your stamps you rub them on your arm why do you do this thank you

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Hello Colleen that is an excellent question and it probably looks pretty funny when you don’t know the why. All photopolymer stamps come from the factory with a coating on them that makes them shiny. This can interfere with how the ink clings and effect the end result of your stamped impression. When you rub it on your arm or the palm of your hand it removes this coating so they can take up the ink and stamp nice and crisply. Stampers refer to this as seasoning the stamp, some opt to use a gum eraser but I find it easier just to give it a quick swipe on my arm. Even when the stamp is not new I find this practice to be helpful because it will remove dust or lint that may be on the stamp.

[@cynthiagrasshoff3493]

Cute layout! What is the surface material use use to work on? I’m looking for a “mat” that will protect the Formica surface on the island in my art studio from mixed media mishaps. Thanks for your fantastic videos. Just got my first order from your CTMH shop and so excited to start creating.

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Hi Cynthia, I would recommend the All Purpose mat for mixed media. It has a grippy back so it stays put and the front is completely wipeable. Even if your media dries on it you can remove it. The mat rolls up nicely for storage too. erinjacobson.closetomyheart.com/retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=8035

[@susieramick7202]

Hi Erin, cool layout. Do the flip flaps require a three ring album. Do I need to use a CTMH page protector? I have old albums I would love to use the flip flaps on.

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Hi Susie, flip flaps can be used with any albums or page protectors. They have an adhesive strip and can easily be as heated to any protector. The pocket plus inserts should work with any album system but I can’t say for sure.

[@susieramick7202]

@@CraftyConceptswithErin Thank you so much.

[@kr7816]

Erin, what kind of photo printer do you use?

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Great question, I am currently using the Epson Picture Mate 400 printer and LOVE it. I did a video demoing how I print at home and everything I use. You may find it helpful. I do recommend an app but later found out it is only for iPhone so heads in case you have an android.
