Love the visual at the end on how to turn it into a 12x12! That was awesome for me as a visual person. I'm sure she will love the pages you created for her!
Thank you, Robin, I am super visual too. I have been having the hardest time picking out a new planner online, I just want to see them in person and flip through them lol
I totally agree about Christmas gifts when you get older. That's why someone in my family gets a scrapbook every Christmas. Usually it's my brother because he is the hardest to buy for!
Thank you Ronda, I have been having fun with these fall papers and have another layout coming out Friday featuring the Gnomes for Autumn. I hope you love it!
You're always full of good ideas! I really like this little layout, the card, and the larger format. The papers are so pretty. Thanks for all you do, I love 🤩your YT channel.😍
Ive done that before..... I see Erin holds hers in the air. I put mine on the edge of my table and happly sanded the whole picture like that.... when I picked it up the whole phot had scratches on them almost 1cm in from all the sides😢
I hate gnomes. I didn't use to have any feelings at all towards them, but now they're on everything, everywhere, and I'm sick to death of seeing them. Like the "little red truck" which is STILL on everything everywhere, add nauseum. Thank you for pasting the gnomes underside! 😁
I really appreciate how you showed us 12X12 layout options at the end; you are so good at visualizing your ideas. Your sharing truly makes me feel thankful-grateful-blessed.
Is Hayden the favorite son, or just the only one who will let you take his picture? We're always scrapping Hayden. 😂😂😂 My sister has FIVE boys. I well know how they hate to have their pictures taken.
LOL, I do tell them they are both my favorite. It is so funny you mention that, I was feeling like everything was about Clayton for awhile so I was making an effort to document Hayden. I am finding myself with more current pictures of Hayden because of his girlfriend, girlfriends are excellent for getting pictures 😂
Yeah I’m making a 12x12 album for my 4 grandchildren, I started just doing pages on all of them to but In a book for me but they escalated into too many pages to go into one album just for me so I decided I would make for an Albums and that would be make a great Christmas present. I’m excited I hope they will like it. Thanks for sharing your layout today is really cute and congratulations on your Triple Crown I heard all about that too.! ❤
Such a fabulous scrapbook layout from the sketch. Love the colours and all the little touches you do. So good to see the sketch in a card format and how you would use it on a 12x12" layout.
I love the idea of doing a scrapbook as a gift. I think maybe doing a 6x8 album would be a nice way for me to try out the CTMH albums, as I haven't made that transition yet (from the Creative Memories albums).
I have a few CM albums but they are super old when they were not a true 12x12 size, I imagine they are different now. The 6x8 albums are nice but different from the CTMH post bound 12x12.
It sure is! It looks like all the coordinating pieces are still on the website erinjacobson.closetomyheart.com/retail/search.aspx?searchvalue=Gnomes+for+autumn
Hello Nancy, I am currently using the Gemini Junior electric die cutting machine and it works well. I had a spellbinders platinum 6 before this one and liked it but I wanted an electric model.
Hello, I apologize for the late reply but yes, all of the 6x8 sketchbooks are currently available. There are also 12x12 and 8.5 x 11 options as well. You can find them here on the Creative Design Team website. www.cdtcreatives.com
Love how you showed us how to easily make this layout into a 12X12 layout !!!
Awesome layout. What a great idea to make a 6x8 album as a gift for Xmas!

That is such a cool "trick" to sand the edges of the photo--it really makes the photo pop with the dark background.
Thank you I am glad you liked that little tip. I used to sand all my photo edges until I started printing with a white border.
I love your tip about sanding the edges of the photo! I also appreciate that you showed how to convert to 12 x 12.
I totally agree about Christmas gifts when you get older. That's why someone in my family gets a scrapbook every Christmas. Usually it's my brother because he is the hardest to buy for!
LOL, it is my mom in my family, she is so hard to shop for!
That turned out so cute! I love that paper collection so much!
Thank you Ronda, I have been having fun with these fall papers and have another layout coming out Friday featuring the Gnomes for Autumn. I hope you love it!
You're always full of good ideas! I really like this little layout, the card, and the larger format. The papers are so pretty. Thanks for all you do, I love 🤩your YT channel.😍
Thank you Melissa, you are so kind.
I’ve never scrapped anything but 12 x 12 and you have given me other options by being varied and creative.
I do love 12x12 but the 6x8 has been fun for different occasions.
Love how you put this layout together and then made a card and showed how it could be stretched to be 12" x 12" layout. Thank you
Thank you Doreen, I am glad you appreciated the 12x12 visual. It is always fun to alter the size of a sketch.
Great idea to sand the edges of the photos! ❤❤
Thank you, I used to do that to all of my photos but stopped when I started printing with the white border. I really like how it looks.
I love your layout and the added info n stretch the sketch!
Thanks so much Mary, it's always nice to get more from your sketches.
Super cute layout! I love how you sanded the photos for a little pop of white. I have never done that before…I need to tuck that idea away to try!
Ive done that before..... I see Erin holds hers in the air. I put mine on the edge of my table and happly sanded the whole picture like that.... when I picked it up the whole phot had scratches on them almost 1cm in from all the sides😢
That’s exactly what I was going to say! 😊😊
I used to sand all my photo edges until I started printing with a white border. It does add a little something extra and I really like how it looks.
Oh no, I hope they were not totally ruined. It does give you more control to hold them up and use a small nail file rather than a sanding block.
I hate gnomes. I didn't use to have any feelings at all towards them, but now they're on everything, everywhere, and I'm sick to death of seeing them. Like the "little red truck" which is STILL on everything everywhere, add nauseum. Thank you for pasting the gnomes underside! 😁
You are cracking me up, I do not dislike them but the gnome trend could take a rest for a season or two and I think everyone would be okay with that.
Lovely colors 🍁🍂. TFS
Thank you! Loving all things fall right now 😃 🍁
I really appreciate how you showed us 12X12 layout options at the end; you are so good at visualizing your ideas. Your sharing truly makes me feel thankful-grateful-blessed.
Thank you Heike, I see what you did there with the title, haha! I am truly glad you enjoy the videos.

Im also laughing at this. You would think my daughter is my favourite when you look at my scrpabooks, but its because my son hates taking pictures.😂
Great layout! Thank you for sharing how to adapt the sketch to fit a 12x12 layout.
Thank you, I hope the little visual helped you see outside of the box.

Thank you so much my friend, I can't wait to see what you have in store for us this week.
Thanks for sharing the 12 x 12 idea. Still hoping you come out with a 12 x 12 layout book.
Looks like February is our projected release date for the 12x12 book so stay tuned 😃

So perfect, you really are very talented and such a great representative of Close to My Heart!
Thank you, that is very kind of you to say. The products are a joy to create with!
I’m waiting to order in November (and the stamp of the month) when the triangle tree bundle is back I stick. Any idea when that will be?
Hi Karen, I do not have an update other than November so hopefully soon. I am watching closely for it's return.
Is the Gnomes for Autumn still available?
It sure is! It looks like all the coordinating pieces are still on the website erinjacobson.closetomyheart.com/retail/search.aspx?searchvalue=Gnomes+for+autumn
What die cut machine do you use? Do you use more than one?
Hello Nancy, I am currently using the Gemini Junior electric die cutting machine and it works well. I had a spellbinders platinum 6 before this one and liked it but I wanted an electric model.
Thank you! @@CraftyConceptswithErin
I think I will buy the Spellbinder as I am a newbie at die cutting.
Can you still purchase the layout books.
Hello, I apologize for the late reply but yes, all of the 6x8 sketchbooks are currently available. There are also 12x12 and 8.5 x 11 options as well. You can find them here on the Creative Design Team website. www.cdtcreatives.com
Thank you. I finally found them.
