Love it! The print then cut is perfect for the title...that script font is perfect and definitely would have been a pain. I love your ink smooshing, too. It's even better than the patterned paper in the original. The embellishing is perfection!

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Thank you! Ink smooshing is always fun and so easy!!!

[@robinwlodarczyk]

I love the ink smooshing behind the circle. What a great idea!

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Thank you! The ink smooshing technique is so simple and works for so many different themes.

[@ellaconner9452]

So pretty! We loved Maui too 🌴☀️💕. TFS

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Maui is beautiful!

[@AndreaPresnell-f1q]

Love the ink smooshing - perfect for water theme pictures!!

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@mariajacobson2994]

I love the smooshing-splotching technique you used. Very pretty!

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Thank you! 😊

[@julisanders4722]

Wow another amazing layout. And my silly husband went to school for photography and I still have to make him bring his camera and take pictures lol

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

lol, that one made me laugh. Men! at least when he does take your photo it is probably a good one.

[@catherineharp4442]

My husband is a selfie addict. Everywhere we go he takes a selfie of the 2 of us, so I always have those :) Love this lo! I need to check out the print and cut video. I still haven't figured that out. Thanks for the great ideas!

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Selfie addict lol 😂 at least you get those photos. Next time I use the print in cut feature I will show it in detail.

[@JessicaDipzinskiThePaperHeart]

No, my husband never thinks to take pictures, so I'm rarely in any! 😅 Another gorgeous layout!

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Yeah, I definitely have to ask most of the time 😂

[@rsdesigns2023]

Oh I’ll be “smooshing” now. Love it

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Haha, I can’t wait to see what you come up with!

[@KerryGoldP]

My hubby os slowly improving. He was very proud of a pic we didnt know he took on holiday! (It DID make it into the layout!) Faces would be better, but at least he took it!

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

That is awesome! Yes the fact he took the photo is wonderful and he is probably proud to see it made the layout.

[@rosegreen788]

Gorgeous LO Erin. I like it much more than the original. My husband used to take photos of me in the most inappropriate situations like when I was putting a spoonful of food in my mouth. 😑

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Oh yes, I have plenty of unflattering photos like that 😂. If I hand the camera to my oldest son you think he is taking a nice photo but he zooms in on a trouble spot lol. I am glad you enjoyed how the layout turned out.

[@paulashealthyliving]

great ideas on using this beautiful kit. And yes, hubby has finally started taking photos of me spontaneously. Like of my backside walking up a hill when we are hiking. And he wonders why they often don't make it into the scrapbook

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

It's nice he is taking photos but that one made me laugh 😂. My friend and I were leaning out a window sill takin gin the view. Her husband thought it was a picture worthy moment so the snapped a photo. Our backsides looked a mile wide as they were the closet thing in the photo, she and I laughed for days.

[@yvonnegottsch4385]

Love your smooshing the background

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Thank you! I thought it really added the the ocean feel 😃

[@pamwilkinson3901]

So pretty! My husband is finally noticing potential good pics our dogs. But never me. Lol. 🤪

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

lol too funny! Well, photos of the dogs is a good start.

[@TerryMolineux]

Gorgeous layout. I love 💕 your style!

[@rosanneperla]

I love this layout. It is beautiful. I am waiting for my Cape Code kits. I ordered everything. Thanks for the techniques.

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Thank you and you are most welcome. Enjoy the Cape Cod collection, it is so inspiring!

[@aurelieletellier8817]

Vous avez de l'or dans vos mains ! Magnifique ~ merci pour cette vidéo inspirante .

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Thank you! That is such a nice compliment

[@sylviakelly8822]

Love this, Erin!! Will definitely be ink smooshing in the future! 👍🏻 And definitely have to ask the hubs to take a picture!!😂

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Haha, yes I think most husbands need to be asked 😂. I am glad you enjoyed the ink smooshing.

[@maryvandenberge]

Love it! Great smooshing! I use bubble wrap too!

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Thank you! Bubble wrap is fun, I haven't done that in awhile.

[@cindycreel3711]

I love this layout

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Thank you Cindy, CTMH makes them easy with the awesome catalog artwork.

[@katistamps]

Great job! I love this layout!!!

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Thank you so much! CTMH makes it easy when they give us inspiring artwork.

[@anythinggoeswithgrandmanog7993]

Omg.... I love this . great idea

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Thank you! 😊 I’m so glad you enjoyed it.

[@cherylshoats6091]

Gorgeous layout!!

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Thank you, I am so glad you like how it turned out.

[@cherylrobertson5629]

Beautiful!

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Thank you, I am so glad you like it. The catalog is full of pretty ideas!

[@paper_belle9770]

Very pretty layout!

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Thank you so much!

[@hoodie427]

Love it! Love the way the ink smooshing looks coming from behind the circle. I wondered if you might do a video showing us how you made that title with the print and cut with the offset around it? I would love a lesson on that. Thanks!

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Thank you! I will definitely show it in detail the next time I use it. I do show the process in this video about 12:40 minutes in kzbin.info/www/bejne/e4Oyc6aNqdyFebs

[@hoodie427]

@@CraftyConceptswithErin Oh perfect! That is just what I needed. Thanks Erin!

[@BabyDonna32]

My husband doesn’t know how to use my cameras and no matter how hard I try to show him he never gets a good shot, he did use to use his iPhone but unfortunately he had to have the camera on it taken out do to work. So unless I happen to have my daughter Briana with us I don’t get very many pictures of myself when we are out exploring. We are planning something for next weekend, we are deciding on ocean shores or La Push beach since we do live in Washington State.😊

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Sometimes I wonder if they play ignorant so we don’t ask them to take photos lol 😂. Have fun on your beach adventure!!!

[@laurabohnett9481]

Another winning page Erin! I especially love the ink smooshing technique with the cellophane paper. Thank you for sharing!

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Thanks so much Laura, I love the way it looks like water splashing out like the ocean.

[@shanny889]

Erin, could you do a video teaching how to make the titles? Also what cricut machine do you use? Thx so much 😊

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Hello, I am happy to show the title process. I do have this video showing the process in more detail kzbin.info/www/bejne/mIW6kKloacqApcksi=YOSmT4GW4cbnIjlG

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Also I have the Cricut Explore Air 2. It's an older machine but is serving me well.

[@shanny889]

@@CraftyConceptswithErin thanks so much for your information 🙂

[@Melsstampingallery]

Beautiful layout! The ink smooshing was perfect, gave it a very organic feel, just like the ocean! And, yes, I have to ask my hubby to take pictures too 😂❤❤

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Thanks so much! 😊 I thought it mimicked the ocean waves rolling up on the shore.

[@sharonmcspadden7336]

Beautiful, I love the beach themed layouts so much!

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Thank you so much! I do too, the colors are always gorgeous on beach layouts.

[@nanamurf9430]

Erin, thank you so much for all your videos. I get so much inspiration from you……and yes, I have to remind him to take my picture at family events and gatherings. I have many Mother’s Day Celebrations and everyone is in the photo’s except me

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Thank you and I’m so glad you are enjoying the videos. You have to laugh when we don’t even make it into the Mother’s day scrapbook layout 😂

[@debipierce3689]

Lovely LO Erin, I love beach LO’s and the color scheme is so beautiful. Thanks for sharing with us all. Have a wonderful day.🐚🐚🐚

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Thank you! I can’t get enough of these beach papers and the color palette. I am glad you are enjoying them.

[@norimcconnaughhay5943]

So pretty!! I love everything about this layout. The photos, the colors, the papers, and embellishments. Inspiring as always. Thank you Erin for sharing your creativity with us.

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Thank you so much Nori! Beach photos are always a joy to scrapbook probably because blue is one of my favorites.

[@molliehunter6890]

My husband is currently in picture taking training. He still tends to cut heads off or not center the desired image. But I’m not giving up on him yet. 😊

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

lol, picture taking training, I love that. I am sure there is still hope.

[@GlendasCreativePlace]

Another fabulous & inspiring Layout!! Thank you Erin!!!

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Thanks so much!

[@topcropper]

Beautiful layout! You have given me so much inspiration! I can’t wait to scrapbook my beach pictures.. Thank you for sharing!!

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Thank you and I am so glad you are uninspired. Beach photos are a joy to document.

[@starrdustmemorieswithdiane934]

BEAUTIFUL layout Erin! I live the way you design your pages. I need to get this bundle. Love the beach theme and how you put your page together. Guess I need to get a few jars of stickers. Have not seen it used till now. ❤❤❤ TFS!

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Thank you so much! The stickles have been sitting untouched for a while and now I seem to be using them on all sorts of projects. Funny how that goes.

[@starrdustmemorieswithdiane934]

I love the look that they give embellishments. Never have seen them till I saw you use them!

[@Jessie2023H]

My guy is usually off taking pictures on his own so very few have me in it :-)

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

I can relate!

[@cathysito7414]

So very pretty! Awesome job!

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Thank you ☺️

[@karenclayton578]

Beautiful LO. Any chance the cardmaking workshop kit will be available again?

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Thank you! Yes it will 😃 it is expected this month but I don’t have a specific date. I thought it would be a popular item but it flew off the shelves faster than I imagined.

[@jdskinner9]

Hi Erin! Love your layouts-every one! Where do you get your printer ink from and what settings do you use? I have the same kind 💕

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Hello! I am so glad you are enjoying the layouts. I have two printers, the Epson Picture Mate 400 which I use to print all my photos, and the Epson XP- 970. I order all my ink from Amazon because no-one carries it in my town. The settings depend on what I am printing, if its photos I set it to correspond with the paper which is Premium Photo Paper glossy and the quality to best.

[@jdskinner9]

Erin, you used Stickles on your recent seashells for the new frosted shells-do you recall what color they were called?

[@jdskinner9]

Thanks, Erin Skinner

[@rondaladuke6106]

So pretty! I wish I could do print and cut! My printer will not accept any thickness of cardstock! It makes me so sad!

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Oh no, that is sad. I don't wish ill will on your printer but maybe it will die of natural causes sooner than later 😉

[@JulieCarriere_TheScrapZone]

I always forget to use the print and cut for title, it is perfect on your layout.

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Thank you, I love how it's all one piece and its easy to adhere.

[@dianaschaefer2472]

I’m usually the only one not in any photos because I am the one taking them.

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

You are in good company, I think most of us scrapbookers are the ones behind the camera.

[@kaysmithart3073]

Have to ask for a picture to be taken. ☺️

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Hopefully it's a good one when you do ask. My husband will take ten of the same unflattering angle but he is definitely improving 😂

[@gloriam.9692]

Erin, how do I get a catalog for July/Aug and the annual catalog??? Gloria in Illinois

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Hello Gloria from Illinois, I have a sister in your area. Beautiful place to live! CTMH will give you a free catalog idea book with your order. You can also see it online here erinjacobson.closetomyheart.com/ctmh/products/online-catalog.aspx

[@Passion4crafting]

How do you get the color in the fonts to Match the layout?

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Fellow crafter and friend Julie Carriere created a hex code PDF for all the CTMH colors. It is an exclusive perk for all Creative Design Team Creatives Members. For this layouts I created a sketch in design space and pulled in svg's from the coordinating Cape Cod digital collection which is already in the coordinating colors. Hopefully that is making sense.

[@jdskinner9]

I’m not in many photos!k

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

You are in good company, when I am with my family if I don't insist you'd never know I was there 😂

[@jupu9608]

I always have to ask my husband to take a picture of me - and he doesn't like it and is a little bit annoyed :(

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Yeah, I don't get to many do overs when I hand the camera to my husband so I always hope the first photo works out.
