Scrapbooking Sketches, So Easy!!!

[@heidizoeller9652]

Erin, I'm so glad you mentioned how much you enjoy scrapping your kids' pictures from their childhood. I, too, am glad I still have little kid photos of my kids to scrap. It's fun to remember those great memories of when they were little.

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

It is fun to remember! I shared the layout with my son and we had fun walking down memory lane together.

[@mariajacobson2994]

Oh how perfect to have the "mud splatters" to make the theme of your son of playing in the mud. This is one of the nicest color combinations. Oh my goodness--as a teenager covered in mud he is so funny. The truck and pail add so much. A super layout--thank you for so many wonderful ideas!!!

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Thank you! Some things never change, it would have been fun to do a then and now layout with both muddy photos.

[@eleanorhora8563]

The cutest layout. Love the whole boy thing, mud, toys..adorable photos❣️

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Thank you Eleanor! I am so happy with how the mud look turned out.

[@VictoriaMarieScraps]

Friend, that background couldn't be more perfect if it tried! This is why I love the smooshing technique! Great spread, as per usual!

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Thank you so much! 😊 The ink smooshing is so simple but very effective.

[@sandyjustian7873]

I was working on a page while listening to you and watching you. I don't have the crop-a-dile, but you sent me to my eyelet stash!

[@Melsstampingallery]

I love how this turned out, the muddy smooshing and the coloring on the toys is perfect! Now I am remembering some muddy photos I have of my boys ( hubby and grown son), they never grow up! Love it! ❤❤

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Haha, no and you are never too old to play in the mud!

[@dianeshaw2433]

You are so creative...the little things you think to add just takes your layouts over the top! Thank you for the inspiration you share with us all.

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Thank you Diane, that is a very nice compliment!

[@debipierce3689]

Erin, love this LO, it reminds me of when my son was 5 and he was trying to grease the chain on his bike and oh my he had grease all over himself and not much on the bike chain lol, this LO brought back some memories for me as my son is now 41 I need to dig those photos out and scrap them. Thanks my friend for sharing and inspiring us to try new things, I love your creativity. Oh yes I have the crop- a- dial and till use it actually quite often for my tags. Again thank you for all the tips and ideas. Have a wonderful weekend!💕

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

How fun to have remembered that moment of your son, I hope you can find the photos and get them scrapbooked. My son is 19 and still managed to get grease all over when he is working on his bike 😂 I am glad to have dusted off the crop-a-dial, I forgot how much I love it!

[@rondaladuke6106]

This turned out so good! I cannot wait to get the new Volume 6 book. It is on the truck! When my Grandson is here, all of his cars and trucks and a bucket of water in my garden is exactly how I get my gardening done!

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Enjoy the sketch book, there are so many great layouts in this one. Yes, a bucket of water and some trucks are the perfect way to get your gardening done 😃

[@pattih3256]

I still have my crop-a-dile! And sooooo many eyelets. Haha. Your Clayton sounds like my Daniel. The dirtier the better. I have so many muddy boy photos!

[@karenclayton578]

That mud background is perfect!!!

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Thank you Karen, I am glad you like how it turned out!

[@terrylkasper8541]

This turned out great! Love the ink smooshing…perfect.

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Thanks so much! The ink smooshing has worked well on so many projects, I love this technique.

[@SewCraftyNana]

This is so cute! What a nice memory. I love how you added the eyelet to the tag. I love tags too... but I don't have that crop-a-dile. I have the corner rounder one, but I think I want the eyelets! This is really a great layout. Thanks for sharing Erin.

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

The eyelets are so nice! I remember when I added them to everything and then you sort of move on and try something else for a while. I am glad I dusted off the crop-o-dile and put it to work again.

[@alicelewis5106]

What a great page! Just started getting back into scrapbooking and have watched so many of your projects and really enjoy your thought processes. Have loved all of your pages! Thank you for so many ideas and inspiration. So happy that I found you. ❤

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Hello Alice, welcome back to scrapbooking! I am so glad you are finding inspiration in my videos 😊

[@ellaconner9452]

Great layout! Love the mud you created. TFS

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Thanks so much, I do love the ink smooching technique.

[@katistamps]

What a fun layout! I love the mud splatters.

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Thanks so much! 😊 Now I am thinking of all the photos I have in need of a mud theme!

[@springchick28]

I love the layout of your adorable Clayton in the mud! To ink the edges of small areas, I use a disposable eyeshadow sponge brush from the $ Tree. The handle makes it easy to use in tight spots. I recently found my Crop-a-dile while packing up for my move. I couldn’t part with it yet, so my eyelets and tool are in my new scrapbooking room. 😊 TFS, Monika

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Thank you and that is a fabulous idea for inking the tiny areas, I will have to pick some up next time I am in the dollar store.

[@gloriacolston6674]

Such a cute layout. Love this! Must give the "dirt" look a try. I still use my crop-a-dile, love it. I love them and try to use them on most layouts. I love scrapping pictures and documenting memories of my son from his childhood. Thanks for the inspiration

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Thank you Gloria! The dirt look is very fun and I love how it captured the feel of the photo. I hope you do give it a try.

[@scraparoo60]

Love the grid style layout, thank you for sharing!

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Thank you and me too, it's a classic style that always seems to works.

[@cherylshoats6091]

This is just adorable, LOVE IT!!!❤

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Thank you Cheryl. I know I will use this to create more muddy backgrounds in the future!

[@gailpell854]

Love it! I always learn something every time I watch. Thanks so much for sharing!

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

You are so welcome! I am very happy to know you are picking up helpful tips.

[@cathysito7414]

Absolutely a great layout!! I was betting that you’d use the dinosaur stamp but I love the bucket and truck. Well done!

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Thank you, I should go back and add the little dinosaur too!

[@carolmoore1336]

Wow, what a great layout. Love it.

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Thanks so much!

[@scrapbookwithme_lisanne]

I follow you for a few years now and i'm always in love the way you use your stamps. Always something to learn... even after 10 years of scrapbooking! Thanks! 🎉

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Thank you, I am so glad to hear you are picking up ideas to try even after ten years of paper crafting, that makes me happy!

[@carolyngibbs8280]

Great layout, love the grid style never dates, and enjoyed your tips on stamping etc. Will need to give it a go. Thanks for sharing

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Thank you and I agree, every time I create a grid layout I am happy with the results. They are a classic layout design!

[@AndreaPresnell-f1q]

I really love the muddy background - I’m going to borrow that idea for some of my horse / farm layouts!!

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Thank you, and I do think it will work well for farm layouts. Now that you mention it I remember having photos of my horses after rolling in the mud 😂

[@barbarapattyson2432]

Absolutely love this you are so very inspiring it’s the little bits and pieces you add that totally take your pages up a notch

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Thank you so much Barbara, this one was so fun to do with the mud background

[@kiwiann47merlington25]

Love the mud idea!

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Thank you, it worked out so well!

[@scrappindinah]

This is adorable!!! I love it! I don’t know if I have pictures of my son (when he was little)playing in the mud!! 😂 but I do have some of him (grown) working outside getting dirty! I saw Jayma’s mud LO too and I think u both did GREAT! ❤😊

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Thank you and I am sure the mud splatter look will be perfect to document him getting dirty.

[@louisebrislane6607]

I bought that book & intend to do that layout using the bottom layout as I have that cardstock in my stash & thought it would look good in my g/g/daughter's 8 X 11 album. Her favourite colour is lilac but she can put up with ballerina as I loved that paper pack so much I had to have it. 🤣 I really like how it came up with your choice of colours & yes, I had a son, also two grandsons who loved playing in the dirt for hours with their trucks, cars etc. Only problem was No1 grandson loved to bury the cars so we were still unearthing them in the veggie patch until I sold up my home some 7 years later.

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Oh my goodness that is too funny! Its like digging up treasure and remembering the fun times that were had in the mud. Enjoy the sketchbook, it is a good one! I can't wait to work through the entire book.

[@simplyscrapbookswithtina8990]

Love the mud!! I thought you were gonna use a little dirt never hurt from the good life stamps. Planning a pig layout with that title!

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

That will be perfect for a pig layout!

[@cindyb5297]

Love it! ❤

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Thank you! 😊

[@richellerobinson2299]

Amazing layout

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Thank you I am glad you think so!

[@pamelastoddard1]

Love, love LOVE this layout! I have some paper that is similar and I want to try this. Thank you. I’m a new fan of yours. 😉

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Hello Pamela, I am so glad you are enjoying the videos! Happy crafting! 😃

[@jopicker7568]

Love it ❤

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Thank you!

[@stampbooker]

I love it!

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Thank you, I can’t get enough of this paper pack!

[@sharonmcspadden7336]

I love that background! I do have a crop-a-dile, my sister in law gifted it to me. I actually just used it a few weeks ago! Anyway, love your layout❤️

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Thank you and that was a nice gift from your sister in law. I am thankful I kept mine and will be using it more now that I remembered why I love it.

[@theresamarchione645]

Yes.. like you, had to get the Cropodile.. lol

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Haha, it was the coolest new tool in its time.

[@marionsimpson9566]

Yeah I was the same with the cropadile and at the moment I don’t even know where it is! I’m sure it’s buried in the box under my craft table. 😂

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Haha, too funny. Mine sat buried and untouched for a few years. I am glad I kept it though!

[@ianhamilton6092]

Awesome layout. Our son loved the mud his thing was worms and frogs. Question was wondering if the paper clover-would be the 4-H colour. We are a 4-H family and my grand girls do lots of scrapbooking there 4-H Calves ever year.

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

Haha, worms and frogs are so much fun! I think Clover would probably work well for 4-H pics now that you mention it. I was FFA and wore dark blue so I don't have anything to compare but I would say that would be the closet green from the CTMH cardstock options.

[@deborahtisdell]

What is the size base cream card stock please

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

The base is 12x12 and the next smaller square is 10x10

[@annasalinas2070]
