What a neat place to visit, the truck is a fun element. That paper collection is so pretty, I have a few pieces left in my stash. You make it look so easy to layer your ephemera that definitely draws your eye over layout. Love it❤

Also FYI Skylark appeared in the February to July 2014 CTMH idea book and catalogue. The PML cards featured in the catalogue in a dedicated section further into the book - from memory this was the start of CTMH promoting pocket scrapbooking. They were also featured on the back page of the catalogue. The original Skylark also had 2 6x12 ‘Printed Dimensional Elements Sheets’ ie cardboard punch outs embellishments. They appear to have been pretty much replicated in the new pack sticker sheet.

Even though I am not a maker I have kept all my catalogues as they have so many great ideas in them also they help me work out the names of retired cardstock, I am in the never ending process of sorting my cardstock atm. 🤗😂😂😂
This is a very pretty layout. The doily makes it. Thank you for the info about die cuts that are intricate maybe needing a piece of card stock to a warped plate.

Such a great paper choice for ‘Bring back my Pack’. I have been doing a bit of stash diving lately and bought out this paper pack to use for my Lap of Tasmania travel album. I had totally forgot about the pocket cards but watching your video tweaked a memory, did a bit more stash diving and ‘Voila’ I found then!!! Some of them were even in unopened packaging!So thanks Erin for posting this beautiful, creative layout! Love it 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️🇦🇺🐨

Lol, it was pretty funny! CTMH actually recently just stopped making pocket cards. I loved them but apparently very few people ordered them. There are still some left from previous collections.
Very pretty! Love the color selections☺️ Question: do you attach the pocket over the page protector or it cut the page protector and insert it?🤔 I’m new to all this wonderful world of memories😉 Thank you for your sharing your inspirations😉🌹

Thank you! I attach the Flip Flap to the outside of the page protector. I will adhere it when I add it to its forever album. Some like to cut the page protector but adding it on top seems much easier and it looks great.

@@CraftyConceptswithErin oh I see l wasn’t a Maker yet then , I did do the Catalog launch and get the Jan/Feb catalog and first paper pack in the catalog, that’s really awesome thank you for commenting back to me. And the layout that just came on the beach layout inspired me I’m still working on my trips scrap book on our trip to Italy.
Two questions--how do you make a white border around your photos (I bought the Picturemate 400), and can you peel off one frosted Avery label (for journaling) and then continue to run the page through the printer to print something else even though one or more labels have been peeled off? Hope this makes sense! You always do such wonderful layouts.
@CraftyConceptswithErin

Hi Nancy, great questions. For the white border I use the Print to Size app (iPhone compatible only) and size my photos slightly smaller. A 4x6 will actually be 3.7 x 5.7 to allow for the white border. The journaling sticker paper is one 8.5 x 11 sheet. I will typically cut a smaller piece off to run through my printer. I can put a 3.5 x 5 piece through my office printer if printing only one journaling block. Cutting it down can help prevent waste. You could also type up journaling for multiple layouts and print them all at once. I use a text box to control the size of the journaling and be able to position white it will be on the paper when it prints.

Thank you! I will slide this layout into a page protector and then adhere the flip flap to the outside of the page protector. Some choose to adhere them directly to the layout and then cut a slit in the page protector, but I find it easier to just put it on top.
I live pretty close to Stan Hewitt. Does your friend host a lot of crops in that area? I would love to possibly be able to attend one.
