I LOVE having raised boys to wonderful men. There definately needs to be more of these masculine papers in the scrapbooking world. When my boys were young, making less "pretty?" pages was a real challenge. I did so many with the wood grain. This is a great collection.

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

I totally agree and it can be a big challenge. I tend to go a little crazy and buy multiple packs when a good masculine paper comes out.

[@karenkaren9526]

Your work is outstanding. I have been scrapbooking since the 90’s. Now it’s all about travel and grandkids. ❤

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Thank you! Between travel and grandkids you must have so many great photos to scrapbook.

[@pattih3256]

Another great layout and another fantastic glimpse into your amazing family moments! Mama to two sons here as well. They are now 25 and 23 and are as different as night and day. They relate to one another just like your boys do. So funny.

[@laurieblasko3887]

I'm so glad CTMH has been doing some more masculine paper collections. I have 2 brothers, 3 sons, 4 grandsons, my husband and male dog...we are outnumbered. Thanks for your great layout ideas! ❤️

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Haha, and I thought I was outnumbered! Yes I agree, it is so nice they are offering such great masculine paper collections.

[@ramonapromitas6563]

YIPPIE YIPPIE YIPPIE My gosh I so love this page Erin. Fantastic.

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Thank you Ramona, I am so glad to hear that!

[@arlisarohloff2622]

Couldn’t imagine what you were gonna do with that paper, but it ended up looking great!

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Thank you, I am glad you enjoyed the end result.

[@bonniemeister2369]

The colours and papers are perfect for a masculine layout and your layout is great. Title option? Boys Will Be Boys 😊

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Haha, I have used that title on a few of their layouts and even have a boys will be boys stamp. Thanks for reminding me, I will have to dig that stamp out and use it soon.

[@kellybere7652]

I am the mom of 3 boys, and I totally get the rough and tumble chaos of raising men! Wouldn’t have it any other way! ❤

[@paulawillard9083]

Me too! I raised three amazing young men.

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Me neither, their chaos makes life fun!

[@maryvandenberge]

What a great collaboration! What a great story! I have 3 brothers and 2 boys of my own and I can totally relate to the brotherly love !!

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Haha, yes that is how brotherly love goes. I am glad you enjoyed the videos 😃

[@marionsimpson9566]

A punch is how boys show love isn’t it! 😂

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

lol, yes it is!

[@kenzieKracken]

Totally love this layout and design. My favourite so far and i like loads of them! Love your boys too lol. #BringBackBrads

[@ginareino3916]

I too am glad brads are back! I like the tip of putting washi tape over them!

[@kenzieKracken]

@@ginareino3916I used to use regulkar tape (when i remembered) but using lovely washi tape is so much better. Eyelets need a come back next lol.

[@ginareino3916]

@@kenzieKracken Eyelets! Yes!

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Thanks so much and I agree #bringbackbrads 😂

[@cindyb5297]

Another great tutorial. Lots of useful tips. Love your story about your boys. Camaraderie is so nice to see in a family! 😊

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Thanks so much Cindy, their fun boy shenanigans make life fun!

[@katistamps]

Great layout! I love the hidden journaling on the tag.

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

It works so well because I seldom leave enough room for the story.

[@BabsAmato1]

Another great layout, as usual. Beautiful papers and very creative. Thanks for sharing.

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

You are so welcome, I always appreciate your comments 😊

[@cherylrobertson5629]

What a wonderful layout and story!

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Thank you so much!

[@diannatroutt5967]

This is a fantastic layout and I love all the embellishments and ideas you share with us! Masculine layouts can be challenging so this one is particularly useful. Best to you, Erin! ❤

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Thank you so much Dianna, I have another masculine layout coming out on Tuesday. I am glad you are enjoying them.

[@cindydale5642]

My daughter has three boys and she says the same with having them! The are rough and tumble since day 1 and all three are so different but they are great friends too. Funny story Erin!

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Boy shenanigans do make life fun!

[@kathyrcreations]

Another fantastic layout Erin!!. I loved the tips you give as you are working on your layout and deciding what is needed as you go along. I love that paperback also.

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Thank you and I am so glad the tips are helpful. I am really enjoying this paper pack and might need a second one lol.

[@mariajacobson2994]

Love the stamp and die cut set. I love these colors--nice paper pack. The center photo pops with the paper--I will use that idea.

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Thank you, it works well to highlight a particular photo on your design.

[@nancyvoneye6985]

Such a super layout. Love your style. Thanks for sharing.

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Thank you so much, I am glad you enjoyed the layout.

[@stampinndahood]

Great story and layouts from both of yours!

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Thanks so much! Laura's use of the river stamp was so great!

[@audreyclark7663]

I love watching your videos. You make it look so easy .

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Thanks so much Audrey!

[@eleanorhora8563]

Your layout is awesome. Love all the paper addition, decorative elements and your story is hilarious. You always give such great tips and ideas. I love brads and I still use them. They just go with masculine layouts!❣️

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Thank you so much! I agree, brads are the perfect addition to a masculine layout. I love using them and will be really sad the day I deplete my stash.

[@ginaconrad9765]

Perfection! Your so good at balance and flow.

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Thank you, that is a very nice compliment!

[@juliamullie8677]

[@rondaladuke6106]

Love the layout, love the story!

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Thanks so much Rhonda, those boys crack me up!

[@schnauzermommy]

Loved the layout as usual. I'm glad to see you using brads. I have tons of them & never seem to figure out what to do with them.

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

I love brads, I will be sad when I use them all up. The metal works so well on masculine layouts.

[@sharonmcspadden7336]

Great layout!

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Thanks so much!

[@millyreese4210]

Erin! I am enjoying your tutorials, techniques and tips so much. I was wondering if you might have examples of layouts with several pictures that you can point me to? Thank you so much for sharing your very thought provoking and informative process ! I’m off to the doctor where I’ll start another video 😊

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Thank you so much and I am very glad you are enjoying the videos. I hope all went well at the doctors! Here is a playlist to all my videos featuring double page layouts, they are going to have more photos. kzbin.info/aero/PLqQRokrFq1hjs-F0glMHo_RKkesPXjNO5&si=XHQpkHN8wCWV5nja

Erin... the link to Laura's video takes you back to your video!!

Sorry about that, not quite sure how I managed that. Here is her link in case you were not able to find it kzbin.info/www/bejne/npmoiaCMjd51oKssi=JG5-o0GDhMpqIgiL

Thanks!!@@CraftyConceptswithErin

[@dianeshaw2433]

Great layout as usual! What a fun moment in time you've captured. I have to ask, did Hayden learn how to dance well enough to take Desere' to the dance?☺

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Thank you and yes he did learn! He has since taken her dancing several times and I am so grateful.

[@InknWhimsy]

Loved doing this collab with you Erin! Oh my gosh I loved the story!! Soooo glad you captured it in photos!! 💕

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Same!! Your layout turned out so good!

[@stampbooker]

Beautiful!

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Thank you!

[@cathysito7414]

So awesome!

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Thank you Cathy!

[@springchick28]

Such a wonderful story of your two boys. As always , your layout turned out beautifully. ❤️ TFS, Monika

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

They do keep life fun. I have been wanting to document these pics for awhile and I am glad the perfect paper came along.

[@cazzareena846]

I love your circle "thankful grateful Blessed" is that a stamp? Gorgeous layout. Thank you for sharing.

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Thank you! The "thankful, grateful, blessed" circle is a sticker from The Good Life coordinating sticker sheet. It would have made a great stamp though.

[@papertherapywithamy4153]

I love how this turned out especially how you framed the middle photo and overlapped the other two onto that middle matt. I need to work at being less literal in my scrapbooking I always struggle with palm trees and such because we don’t have those here! I used this collection for visiting a windmill in the Netherlands. Doesn’t get much more literal than that 😂 Great job Erin! As always!

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

lol, no it doesn't get any more literal than that but hey, if you have windmill photos then that is a great place to use your windmill themed stuff!

[@terrylkasper8541]

Looks great. I have lots of outdoorsy photos but I don’t like so much black white gray etc. I am wondering if I can add some color with embellishments to perk it up a bit….we will have to see.

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

I think so! I think greens would look really nice with many of these patterned papers and the wood grains are always great for outdoorsy pics. I have so many camping pictures so I am always looking to make packs work for outdoor pics.

[@Kerri6024]

Hi @Erin, it's dawned on me I've seen how flip flaps work, but when you do tags with journaling, how are these worked when you'll be putting the 12x12 page into a page protector within an album?

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Hello there, I try to design the layout so the tag can be pulled from the top of a top loading page protector. Occasionally I will cut a slit but I do try to avoid it.

[@suziemiller7896]

Link didn’t work for me to see Laura’s video. It just went back to yours

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Sorry about that, I updated the link but here is Laura’s video kzbin.info/www/bejne/npmoiaCMjd51oKssi=x-g2V3jypOE6GeYy

[@annbateman5281]

I really like that extra background paper behind the center photo to make it pop !!
