Great layout! Thank you for reminding us what can be created using only cardstock. Love your process! ❤

So many cool techniques and elements on this fun page. This is such a cool photo and all the pieces fit right in with the fun of the boys out exploring and having fun. Those arrows!!!! That woodgrain!!!! the two pieces of notebook!!!! Love it all.

Another fantastic page! Thank you for sharing your creativity. You are so gifted.

Sooo coooool! Very creative! Good call on knowing when to stop!

Wow. I never knew that I could make my own wood grain paper. Thanks for sharing this technique!❤

So many fun elements! I do like the lighter color background ❤❤

I would love for you to show us how you make a die cut. You’re incredibly talented! 😍

So excited to see your video this evening…it felt like everything was right in my world 🎉loved the layout but I always do !

I love the arrows on this layout, I'm going to have to try that and the shaped thin cuts will make that so easy to do! Hello to Brian, I'm so glad Dave has a side kick! Great layout Erin!

You are so creative! Love the layout. That faux wood grain is so cool!

I’m new to the idea of the arrows down the side. Adds such interest to the page!

Great layout! Love the handmade woodgrain. Thank you so much for the inspiration ❤

It was so interesting how much difference it made when you switched the background from almond to white.

Both pages are stunning.

This layout turned out so good! I love how you altered the cardstock in so many different ways. I didn’t even miss the patterned paper!

There was a time that all we had was cardstock! I think it helps us to focus on techniques and phtotos without finding the perfect patterned paper. Creat class!

I didn't think there could be so many great ways to use cardstock. Really love watching all these techniques, especially making your own woodgrain cardstock/patterned paper. Definitely have to try it. (especially as I'm waiting for my super bundle of cardstock to arrive on my doorstep here in NZ) It seems so easy and looks so good.😊

How clever! Thanks for sharing this idea...making your own woodgrain.

Thank you Betty!

I really enjoy seeing your thought process as you design a layout...seeing you change your mind and come up with other ideas is very inspiring. I loved how you took plain card stock and made it look interesting and complemented your photos so well. Definitely, I'd love to see a video about your cats!

It's amazing what you do with only cardstock. You came up with ideas I would have never thought of. Great video and layout!

Love the wood grain technique. Definitely will be trying that soon.

Thank you! It’s nice when you want a specific color wood grain and you can reach for your cardstock.

Wow!!

Love this layout, Erin, I love to make the wood grain paper in the colors I need them to be.

I love this idea of using just cardstock…have to try it myself. Maybe a good challenge for the CDT membership too :-) Love your layout like alsways and the story behind it. ❤️ thank you for sharing

Love card stock only layouts!!! Love how you did your layout. Just a tip... I use 2 inch wide double sided tape for my alphabet dies. Just leave the backing on the tape and stick one side of the tape to the paper. Put alphabet die on the paper with the tape on the bottom, with baking still on it, run through die cut machine and you have a alphabet sticker.

This is sooo fun and packed with so many techniques! I love how it turned out. Hard to believe it’s all cardstock.

Funny I was just thinking about using mire card stock this morning. This will be great inspiration. Thanks ❤️🇨🇦

What good timing! I hope you enjoy all the videos from my crafty friends this week featuring cardstock ideas.

Another great layout Erin. I was wondering if you might start up a live video again, where we can watch you create live…let’s say maybe a designated day and time monthly?

Thank you for the info about how to make the wood grain on cardstock. I love to use cardstock and what you demontrated is so easy to create custom color wood grain paper. This is so inspiring to see how using only cardstock, so much can be done to make a really cool layout. I really like this one that you created. How darling that the kitty wanted to be part of the video! How did you come to have these darling kitties--a bunch of us would like to know.

When I’m sticking those letters down I stick the main letter onto the outline then stick the whole letter on the page with some of the glue going onto the outline. That way I don’t have the glue spilling out.

Erin, I always love to see your beautiful layouts and have scraplifted quite a few. I can’t wait to see how your channel evolves 💕

Thank you so much, scrap-lifting is the best compliment!

Very outdoorsy layout. I think you nailed it! Great job. Hugs, Diane

Great reminders of why CTMH cardstock is so great. I love this LO!

This turned out awesome. (Yes, I'm one of those slightly OCD papercrafters.) Nicely done. P.S. When I saw those decorative shapes during the launch event for this book, I knew you would be purchasing it to use in your creations. :)

Love this❤

Thank you! This has always been a fun challenge for me. I usually start off wishing I can add patterned paper and then it all comes together in the end and I like it.

This is a great layout. I really enjoyed the faux woodgrain technique. That will come in very handy. And I like the challenge of just colored paper. Just starting out scrapbooking again after many many years away...and I am starting all over with supplies so thinking I have to get all the things right away...this helps to see you really can create a wonderful page using basic cardstock and stamps. I'm very interested in the design team group. I need to go look and check the details, it sounds like it would help me get my creative ideas flowing 😊

I love your ginger kitties. And their names! My husband’s name is David and my younger son’s name is Brian. My sons are gingers too. 😉 my other son’s name is Greg... Maybe you need a third ginger kitty named Greg. Haha

As soon as you put the dots on the tags, I knew that they wouldn't last!!🤣 You need your string or it just isn't a tag!! 🤣🤣 I didn't like your first choice of base cardstock so I was glad you changed it out. It seemed to soak in the photo rather than highlight it. So I see you using it later in strips! Possibly it needed a lighter ink over it to brighten it. In my mind's eye, I see it looking good with white daisy pigment ink, or you could just show the white core to brighten it up.

I love layouts like this that have lots of stamping.

Wow 😮 Love it! Great tip on how to make that faux wood grain paper!

I love the boy pages! It’s rugged and beautiful.

Well, Erin, you hit it out of the park again!! Way to go,

Absolutely love your layout! And those arrows look fantastic down the side of the page! I would love to hear more about your other cats someday! We have 2 cats... Oreo (black and white cat) just turned 9 and Charlie (an orange cat) is about 9 months. We adopted Charlie from our local humane society to be a companion for Oreo since we lost Chino (orange cat) back in December 2022. Unfortunately he does not seem to understand when Oreo says no to him (hissing, growling, etc). She often ends up hiding under our bed. I find I am frequently giving one of them a time out so she can have some time to relax. Hopefully he outgrows his need to be biting her soon! It sure has been stressful for me. If things could go smoothly I think I would be a crazy cat lady!

So good to see this challenge!

I love this! I have some of those sticky dot pages that a fellow crafter gave me. Just a warning, they are super messy!

If you gave me the same 4 sheets of cardstock you would never have gotten the result you made. This video is why you should not stop making content.

Cute layout! That arrow could be used as a house as well. I have not tried Sticky Specs yet but, when I remember, I use double sided adhesive sheets for fine or finicky die cuts.

I like your out of the box thinking! It would make a great little house shape.

Absolutely love this layout!

Lovely! All cardstock is one of my favourite challenges. I too was seduced by Sticky Specs after seeing Dorothy use them all the time. I’m not a fan. Maybe I need more practice with it, but I find it tears up delicate die cuts and makes a mess.

Oh that is good to know. I had to laugh at your comment "I too was seduced by Sticky Specs" That is so funny and I can relate to being seduced by crafting supplies!

Is the Creative Design team $22.95 for each month or is it a yearly fee?

I love this layout!
