Scrapbook Layout Share Plus Tips/ 33 Ideas to Inspire You!

Looking for scrapbooking inspiration? Look no further! I have 33 layouts, both single and double 12x12 pages, to share all created in 2021. Most of these layouts are created with gorgeous products from Close to My Heart. Before I organize all these scrapbook layouts into their permanent albums I thought it would be fun to show them all to you. If you are new here this is a great way to see what I do here on Crafty Concepts with Erin. I will also share what albums I use and why.

Love, love, love all these layouts and I too am a great lover of the ocean. Now we live landlocked in the Midwest so I have to wait until I can visit home on the west coast to enjoy it these days. Just scraplifted an idea from one of your other videos--keep 'em coming!!

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Hello Sharon, I’m glad you were inspired and scraplifted a layout. I’m always happy to hear that! That must be tough being so far away from the ocean but your visits home will be that much more wonderful.

You have GREAT ideas for a scrap lift 😍. So many so gorgeous

Amazing. Almost all your backgrounds start with white cardstock which I never do. You have pulled this off beautifully better than most I've seen. Motivated to try white.

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Thank you for your kind words! I’m glad you were inspired to try white as your base. It’s always fun to stretch our creativity a bit.

Have you done a video giving tips on different ways to journal? For example, vellum is fragile to print on I'd imagine.

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Hello Allie, I haven’t done a specific journaling tips video but I think that is an excellent idea! I do print on vellum. There are likely vellums in different weights but Close to My Heart’s product goes through my printer with no trouble.

Love how you used so many pocket cards on a traditional layout! Do you have the Playlist for your creative design team collaboration using pocket cards, I'd like to see more ideas as I have sooo many to use?

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

I have a lot of pocket cards too! If you click on this video you can find all the other videos in the description box below. The playlist is one big collective playlist so this would be the quickest way to locate the pocket card videos.

[@Dori6996]

you're my favorite person to follow about scrapbooking. I have a question. On the first layout of your son and his lady you have your journaling on a tag. The tag has a mint thing around the hole. How'd you do that? With ink, or did it come that way in your kit? It's a little thing, but it added just the right somethin somethin.

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Hello Dori, thank you and I am so glad you are enjoying the scrapbook layouts. The mint circle on the tag was cut from a die from The Buildable Tags set from CTMH. There is a circle shaped one as well as an oblong option. I know what you mean about adding just the right little something! You can see the set here erinjacobson.closetomyheart.com/retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=15506

[@Ms.G.Creates]

Love these! How do you find the albums hold up years on? Will they make it for decades? ☺️

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Thank you! I have several CTMH post bound albums that have been in use for at least 15 years now and still going strong! I do have other brands that are not standing the test of time so I cast my vote for CTMH. The D rings are great but I don’t think any d ring album will hold up to a post bound in the long run.

[@sherriworonick2618]

I have a question for you, do you put all of your pages inside page protectors and what scrapbook style do you use? Hinge style?

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Hello there! Good question, yes they all go into a page protector. I use the post bound albums for my permanent albums. The close to my heart page protectors are really nice, possibly the best, and I’ve tried a lot.

[@michellephillips3710]

I love your layouts they are absolutely gorgeous. I have just one question "how do you get the writing on the valem paper?"

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Thank you, good question, I run it through my photo printer. You do need to let it dry for a few minutes after printing so it doesn’t smear.

[@kkniker158]

Would u allow us a way to use ur page designs? I LOVE ur work!

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Hello there! Thank you for your kind words. If you are wanting to scraplift for your personal use you are welcome to do so. I’m glad you were inspired!

[@suesweet6619]

I watch most of your process videos and enjoyed a "review" of them here. I'm curious-- Why do you use the post bound for permanent albums versus the d-ring?

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Thank you! That is a good question. The d-ring is super easy to add pages or take them out so that is why it’s my work in progress album. I also do not feel they have the longevity of a post bound album. Plus the post bounds lay the pages close together when you are looking through the album and I think that looks a little nicer.

[@robbieminor6349]

Can you give me the link to the die cut and stamp set for the I love… by close to my heart

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Hello Robbie, that stamp set is called Moments with You. The stamp is still available but the “I Love” thin cut has sold out. If you have other letter dies perhaps you can still get the look. Here is the link to the stamp erinjacobson.closetomyheart.com/retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=14966

[@robbieminor6349]

@@CraftyConceptswithErin thank you. Do you think the die will be back in stock

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

@@robbieminor6349 sadly no, CTMH will keep the stamp around for around a year but once the thin cuts sell out they are gone. Once a year they have a big thin cut sale and occasionally they will have held some just for that event but we don’t k ow until then and that usually falls in the summer time

[@cappydaveclark]

Erin, do you print your phots at home? If so, do you use a program to print them?

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Hello, I do print all my own photos at home and I use an app called Print to Size. I have a video walking you through the entire process but heads up, the app only works with iPhone. If you have an iPhone you would love it! Initially it looked like there was a version for android but it was not legit kzbin.info/www/bejne/q5-npomsZdGrgaM

[@jdskinner9]

What is a pocket card?

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Hi Erin, great name 😉 Pocket Cards were designed for pocket scrapbooking where the page protectors are divided into 4x6 and 3x4. The pocket cards come in coordinating sizes and are popular for Day or Week in the life type scrapbooking projects. I use them for titles, embellishments and for layering on my regular 12x12 pages. Hopefully that makes sense. In the CTMH world they are called picture my life cards.

[@westflerchinger]

I do like your videos, but I notice how often you say that you can’t use flowers, or pink, or some other thing because the photos are of boys. I encourage you to break out of those stereotypes and you’ll see that flowers and colours have no gender and photos of boys can look great with those elements! I’m a mum of two boys too, and I don’t feel those restrictions

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

I certainly never mean to offend anyone and only offer suggestions. There are no hard rules when it comes to art. Of course use what works for you in telling your stories. I have used flowers on boy layouts and my boy dog layouts too. I only mean that florals and pinks generally don’t capture my boys personalities or compliment their photos. But definitely always go with what you like. I do get a lot of questions specifically asking for ideas for boys layouts so perhaps that is why I point those things out. You are 100% right that flowers can work for boys.

[@westflerchinger]

@@CraftyConceptswithErin absolutely no offence! I just thought you might feel restricted by stereotypes, and clearly you don’t, which is awesome. I certainly don’t use florals on all my pages, and I agree we sometimes struggle for more ‘masculine’ styles. And we all have different tastes, and that’s why scrapbooking is so unique and special to each one of us. So my turn to say, I certainly didn’t mean to offend. It’s all good
