scrapbook layouts – Crafty Concepts with Erin

I have been snapping photos over the past year capturing moments of what has become our “new normal”. I was doing a happy dance when CTMH came out with this special. The papers, sticker sheet and stamp set are just what I was looking for to start documenting 2020. This layout captures the great toilet paper shortage. I ended up traveling to three different stores before locating the coveted commodity. So much for staying home!

I created this Stay Home layout last week. Taking a nap is definitely a rarity for both my husband and I. This picture was snapped during the beginning of the shutdown.

The couch embellishment, from the coordinating sticker sheet, was perfect! Saving the world one nap at a time. So funny! I used the potted plant, TV, and other stickers to create a living room vibe on my layout.

I was pretty excited to scrapbook these photos of my boys. It was a simple moment in time that makes me smile just to think of it. Surrounded by ferns, my boys were pretending they were in Jurassic Park and at any moment a T-Rex would spring from the lush foliage. The shrieks and laughter were contagious! I am happy to have finally recorded this special memory.

I’ll admit I almost passed this paper packet by as it gives off a vibe perfect for babies. I have very few baby photos left to scrapbook. I am so glad I didn’t though. Turns out I have so many pictures that work well with this paper pack. I may need to order a second! I

Note the little pennant banner in the top right hand corner. I created this with left overs and Waterfall Stickles Glitter Gel. It is a simple embellishment that makes a big statement on the page. It is perfect for incorporating pops of color and utilizing those leftovers. I utilized the dies in the Pennant Banner Alphabet stamp set to cut all the assorted flags.
