So much great info! Thanks for walking us through your thought process!
I just love you
You have such a positive attitude
Love watching you
Oh that is so nice of you to say, thank you! I’m glad you are enjoying the videos.
This has been very helpful as I usually print all photos in 6 x 4 and then crop but sometimes that isn't possible. Watching you work the layout to your photos and changes was great.
I am so glad it was helpful! I am a visual person so having the templates to move around works really well for me.
This is beautiful. Love the colors. I am getting really nervous that I can’t do this after spending tons on CTMH products. I’m not creative in this way…
I really appreciate all of the insights about how to use my size of photos on a layout from a kit. Your tips are invaluable! Thank you for sharing with us.
You are so welcome! I am very glad you are finding value in the tips and I so appreciate the feedback
I have just recently discovered your videos. I have also been a scrapbooker for about 15 years. Yet, you have taught me so much. You have re-inspired me to go back to using stamps and if you can believe it I have never used a kit before. I bought my first one last week and what a joy to use. No more spreading paper out to see what goes best together. I loved it. I am excited and inspired and so are my friends who I introduced to your videos. Thank you so much. Keep on making videos.
Hello, your comment made me smile. I’m so happy I have inspired you to use your stamps more. Stamps are so fun and easy to customize for your projects. Kits are great aren’t they? The color coordination is one of my favorite things about CTMH. Having everything match and the patterned papers already put together makes it so much easier. I used to stand in the paper isle at the craft store just staring. The kits are so helpful! Thank you for sharing my channel with your friends and for taking the time to leave this comment.
Good tips on using the photo place holders when designing and planning. Thanks for sharing that.
Thank you Lynn, I’m glad you found it the tips useful!
I love that you shared your photo printing process. May I ask what photo paper you use for printing your pics? I agree that paper is critical and always searching for great paper! 😀
Hello there! I use the Epson Premium Photo Paper Glossy. I do recommend sticking with the same brand as the printer you use though. I have primary used Epson printers and love them. I tried a canon once and noticed the Epson paper didn’t work at well as canon paper did.
@@CraftyConceptswithErin cool! Thanks so much for the info!!
Beautiful
Thank you. Fall layout are always a favorite for me to create. I’m glad you enjoyed this one.
Gorgeous! Great design. Can’t wait to get my pumpkin spice workshop kit in the mail in a few days! Love your videos!
Thank you and have fun scrapbooking with the Pumpkin Spice collection, it is so pretty!
Love Love Love everything about all your layouts, thank you
Thank you so much! This collection was so fun to work with!
This is an amazing tutorial about prepping the pages with the use of photo templates first and how the layout changes throughout the creative process. Thank you for sharing information about the printer as well - there's always something to learn from your videos!
Thank you Tina! I appreciate the feedback. Sometimes I think viewers just want the creative part but I find this process super helpful for me.
Wonderful!
Many thanks! I love, love, love this background paper and its why I had to have the workshop.
Another fantastic layout. Love the way you change the original layout to your taste (much better) and thanks for all the tips on positioning the photos. That is what i find most difficult!!
Thank you, I’m so glad you liked it. The kits are super flexible that way. I really enjoy using multiple photo sizes and think it opens up a lot more options.
Wow.....lots of helpful tips and tricks!!!! I will definitely use these :D Thank You!!
Thank you Jerrie, I am so glad you found the tips helpful!
Love it
Thank you! I love the preprinted background paper on this layout. It adds so much interest.
Love watching your process and they way you place all of your elements. Love this background specialty paper.
Thank you, this patterned specialty paper is what sold me on the kit.
Great video. Ty for all the content.
You are most welcome, so glad you are enjoying the videos!
Beautiful layout!!
Thank you! Love, love, love these colors.
I love your modifications! Such cute photos 😍
Thank you! I was so excited when my son showed me these pictures and literally said I can’t wait to scrapbook them 😆
Love this layout and all of your ideas. Just found your channel and I'm enjoying all your past videos. I would love to see a playlist where you have all of your layouts from CTMH workshops. I love seeing what you do with those workshops. Thanks for Sharing
Hello Lisa! Thank you, I am so glad you are enjoying the videos. That is a great idea for a playlist.
Great ideas!
Thank you Jody! 😊
Beautiful pages and my favorite seasonal colors🍁. Thanks for the great tips 😉. TFS
Thank you, my favorite seasonal colors too!
i have this printer and love it! I only use Epson photo paper and excellent photos. Great tip on using photo place holders before printing. Beautiful layout.
It is a really great little printer isn’t it? I’m glad you enjoyed the photo placement tips.
Question about the printer and paper. How long do the pictures last? Is it fade resistant?
I use the same printer!!
I just found your videos recently and love the work you do. On this layout, am I the only one who found the line across the bottom distracted my eye away from the layout? Curious what others think about it to help me with my own layouts. Otherwise, I think the layout was just perfect! Thanks for sharing your knowledge and talent!
Thank you so much, I am glad you are enjoying the layouts and videos. I know what you mean about the strip along the bottom potentially pulling the eye, if you feel it is drawing your focus away then go with your instinct and initial reaction and omit that part. Some moved the strip to the top of the layout while others may have left it off all together. This original layout had a large title floating along the bottom, I didn't care for that design and switched it up. I do love how we can alter elements to suit our own taste and best tell the stories behind our photos.
LOVE the paper packs!!
AND, you are One Talented Lady!
Love to purchase but I don’t know where ?!!! 🧡💛🧡

Love the idea of journaling on the vellum, any chance you could specifically show how you did that in a video?
Thank you! I am actually working on a video featuring different ways to add journaling and I will be happy to go over the specifics.
Love love love your layouts! I just placed an order for the boo crew set and used a link found in one of your videos, so I hope it went under your name! Such a cute set, I can’t wait to get it.
Yay! Thank you! I am so glad you are enjoying the layouts and I hope you are finding tons of inspiration. The Boo Crew is super cute and I am uploading another layout featuring this collection today.
Another gorgeous layout always enjoy watching your videos love CTMH kits are these available for UK ☺
Thank you Linda, I’m so glad you are enjoying the videos. Unfortunately CTMH does not currently ship to the UK. I hope they will one day soon.
Love your sweet layout, the colors are beautiful. Thanks also for the info for printing from my phone. I like the phone editing app
better than the editing on my iPhoto. I just need to figure all that out with my phone. Do I just connect my phone to the computer to print one photo?
I'm not sure how to select one. Thanks.
Hello Nori, when I am printing directly from my phone in the Print to Size app, it Blue Tooth communicates with the printer and by passes my desktop all together. I used to have to upload my photos to the computer manually by plugging it in but now I have everything synced in icloud and the photos magically appear on my desktop computer.
@@CraftyConceptswithErin Thank you so much Erin, I'm going to give it a try.
Love this layout. I have the same printer you have. I was glad to hear what app you use to resize photos. I downloaded Print to Size on my iPhone and tried it. The quality of the smaller photos are great if I just use 4x6 paper, but when I tried using 5x7 paper and resized four photos to 2.5 x 3.5 to fill that paper, the print was terrible quality. Have you had any luck doing that? Or do you stick with 4x6 paper?
That is very interesting, I have not tried that yet but now I am curious as to why it would change the quality. I print a 2.5 x 3.5 on a 4x6 and save the ends for printing 2x2 pics so it isn't wasting as much.
Erin, this is perfect! Thank you for taking the time to show us what you do before you video! love all the tips! Love how you make the workshops work for your photos! one question: to get the white borders on your photos, are you making your photo a 3.75x5.75 for a 4x6? I’ve downloaded that app that you recommended and can’t wait to try it out! Also, I have a Mac, but have only always printed to my PictureMate from my phone 🤦🏻♀️ I’m going to try out iPhoto
I’m glad you enjoyed the tips and hope they work for you. In iPhoto I can set the paper size to 4x6 borderless or just 4x6. The second option automatically adds the white border. In the print to size app it actually won’t let me print a true 4x6. There is a dotted borderline around the perimeter. If you drag the photo to fit within that dotted line you will get the white border. I hope that makes sense.
I'm sorry if I missed it under the supplies list - but would you list the photo printer you use? I know you said the name, but I wanted to see which one you have. If you have a link also where you get commission off the purchases, I'd be happy to use that as well! Love thus little workshop and how clear you are with decorating and tips! Thank you for sharing!
Hello there, I am so glad you enjoyed this video. I use the Epson Picture Mate 400 printer and love it! The majority of my crafty TH-camr friends use this one also. Thank you for your support! I bought it through Amazon, here is a link amzn.to/3TQQgb9
This is a great layout! I need to go back and order this workshop it was sold out. Great colors and papers. Thank you for sharing which printer you use.Which photo paper do you like best? What was the name of apps you use? I’m trying to get better at printing my pics from home.
Thank you! This layout is what sold me on the kit, it’s so pretty! It’s back in stock now. I’m currently using the Epson picture mate 400 and the app is called print to size. I did hear The app is not compatible with android
Erin, about how many photos can you print with one box of inks? I'm considering this printer, but want to crunch the numbers first. Thanks in advance for your response!
Hello Laurie, great question. The reviews averaged around 100 4x6 photos per cartridge. I find I am getting at least 80 consistently but up to 95. If you seldom print, inks can dry up over time reducing your print volume but I print fairly often. I also print on glossy paper in the highest quality. I know many feel having photos printed outside of the home is less expensive but the flexibility outweighs the cost for me. Additionally I only print what I scrapbook so that saves me money in the long run also. If I sent them out I'd likely print way more not knowing ahead of time what my plan was. I hope this was helpful. Happy crafting!
@@CraftyConceptswithErin Thanks so much for the info. The stack of preprinted photos that I DON"T use after scrapbooking makes me think this would be a good option for me too. Thanks again!
Could you suggest embellishments for "boy" pages besides flowers and boots.
Hello Charlotte, as a mom of two rugged teenage boys I know boy layouts can be more challenging. My embellishments do depend on the theme of the layout but some of my go to’s for boys are arrows, stars, hexagon and or circle shapes. Gears and metal elements are always good too. Wood grain patterned paper is a great neutral that can be added to almost any paper pack and is perfect for boys. I do have a scrapbooking boys playlist on my channel where you can pick up some ideas too. I’d love to hear your boy layouts ideas.
@@CraftyConceptswithErin thank you so much for your suggestions. I found your channel accidentally and have been watching and rewatching all your videos. Beautiful layouts!
What photo paper do you use and recommend for home printers?
Great question, it depends on your printer. I am a big fan of Epson and use the Epson Premium Photo Paper Glossy. I do find that if you have a Canon printer for example, the canon photo paper works better. I've tried printing on HP paper that had been given to me and the results were not great. Perhaps it would work better with an HP printer, but I don't recommend it.
I am looking for the print to size app and can't tell which one it is? Do you have the icon/info you could share? Thanks!
Sure thing! Since I cannot share photos here I will post a picture in my Facebook group and tag you.
Where are the workshops please I’m new to all this thank you
Hello, I am happy to help. All of the products are listed in the description box below each video. You can click the little arrow or see more and it’ll open up. Scroll down and you can click on the products you’re interested in with links to take you to them. CTMH will give you a free catalog with your order but for now you can see the catalogs online. Here is a direct link to the pumpkin spice workshop erinjacobson.closetomyheart.com/retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=15621
Perfect. Is this package for sale? For the netherlands?
Hello Ria, unfortunately this collection is no longer available. CTMH also only allows me to sell in the US which I know is very sad 😞
Hi, I want to know the different sizes of photo that can be use on scrapbooking? Thank you
Hi Sandra, I can print and use any size I want using the Print to Size app. My go to sizes are 4x5.5, 3x4, 3x3. Sometimes I will scrapbook a 5x7 but not often. You could even scrapbook an 8x10. I have a helpful video showing how I print and size my photos. The app I recommend is for iPhones only though. Here is a video showing the process th-cam.com/video/unDuVv0lxKA/w-d-xo.htmlsi=yOiMpgGbMRUJB-F5
Do you use your phone to take all of your pictures?
Hello Bettye, I would say 99% of my photos are taken with my iPhone. I do have a Canon digital rebel but seldom use it because I’m not happy with the lens. The cell phone cameras are so convenient and have come a long way in quality
What type of photo paper do you use?
Hello, I use Epson premium photo paper glossy. I have a video coming up in May going into detail on how and what I use to print my photos. Stay tuned, you might find it to be a helpful video.
Does your printer actually print 3x3? I’m interested in printing photos at home?
Hello Ella! Yes it does. The printer recognizes paper down to a 3.5 x 5 but I can adjust the photo size before I print it. I’d then just trim off the excess white area of the photo paper. I hope that makes sense.
@@CraftyConceptswithErin yes it does! Thanks 😊
Where can I find the 5x7 Printing paper?
I order my photo paper through Amazon because it’s almost half the cost of the local office supply store. You can buy 5x7 photo paper however it is way less expensive to purchase 8.5x11 and cut it down it size. You can get two 5x7 from one sheet at a fraction of the cost amzn.to/3I9eFUP
Here is a link for the 5x7 so you can compare www.amazon.com/dp/B00005A9VY/ref=cm_sw_r_as_gl_api_gl_i_50RGMY9WXPBRHTQS5D3J?linkCode=ml1&tag=craftyconcept-20
