Feels Like Home – Crafty Concepts with Erin

Hello and welcome back to Crafty Concepts with Erin! I’m excited to share all the projects I created featuring the ‘Feels Like Home‘ paper collection. This is a beautiful kit with an elegant design. It inspired me to create several layouts of captured moments with my family.

This photograph is of my husband and his three sisters. I am so blessed to have such an amazing extended family and my sister-in-laws share my love for scrapbooking. Talk about lucky! The brick background in this photo inspired me to create my own brick like embellishment using texture paste. This was my first time playing with this fun new product and I will definitely be using it again to see what else I can come up with. Check out the youtube video for a step by step tutorial on how to use texture paste! I will also show you Close to my Heart’s new shimmer pens and how I incorporated them on this layout.

I’m drawn to the farmhouse color palette and these papers just scream Joanna Gain from Fixer Upper. I love the old fashioned floral elements and the watercolor dies that come with this kit! What special family moments or memories from home could you capture? A visit from Grandma or perhaps lazy backyard picnics on a sunday afternoon? Sounds good to me!

Here is the list of supplies I used to create this layout: Feels Like Home workshop your way scrapbooking kit , Picture My Life Cards- Feels Like Home , Opaque Matte Texture Paste , Palette Knives , Shimmer Brush in Sugarplum , All Purpose Mat , VersaMat , Micro-tipped scissors , Cricut Artbooking Collection , Exclusive inks stamp pad in Black , 3-D Foam Tape ,

My second project is a two page layout. My husband and I along with our two boys headed out for a family day. We decided to snap some pictures hoping to get a good one to use on our family Christmas card. It was such a fun day and I will always remember my husband saying ridiculous things so that the boys would have real smiles in the pictures!

I used a picture my life card to make a quick title then layered the water colored die cuts, stickers from the coordinating compliments and a zip strip to create a cluster and draw your eye to the title. I did add in some extra black cardstock from my stash and created the scalloped black border using my corner rounder.

Let me know what you think and leave me a little comment. I look forward to hearing from you! Oh and just a note, this beautiful paper pack is available through the end of April while supplies last.
