Scrapbook Layout / Embellish With Stamps! 

Hello Mary, I am so glad you are finding ideas and inspiration in the videos. Growing up on a farm is a wonderful way to raise a child isn’t it?

Thank you Madeline, you are so welcome! Beautiful name by the way. You share the same name with my niece and I've always thought it is so pretty.

Thank you so much Joyce, I really had fun with the little barn door fence element

Hello Trudy, happy belated birthday. What a fun gift you received from your son and daughter! I do enjoy the markers and love the way they add depth to a stamped image. I will make a note to include more coloring in my videos. I am so glad you are finding inspiration here on my channel!

Thank you Loree, I do love incorporating stamps onto my layouts whenever I can.

Thank you! It was really fun to use all the stamped images on this layout.

Hello Rita, four grandsons must be so much fun! you may have already watched the videos but have you seen my scrapbooking boys playlist? I'll link it here ru-vid.com/group/PLqQRokrFq1hixLSJUCZPtEaWH8-HHh7Jx

Nancy your comment is perfect and made me smile LOL.

Thank you! Right, that cow is so cute. I think the barn door set will come in handy on a lot of layouts for me.

Thank you! Yes, thank goodness it’s not retired. I caught that after the video went live. I must have been thinking about chocolate, I loved that color.

Thanks so much, he is a cutie! This was a fun layout to create and I am glad you like it.

Oh good, they are great stamps sets aren't they? It's fun to shop your stash and rediscover those oldies but goodies.

Oh no, I am so sorry you fractured your arm, I hope you are not in a lot of pain. I enjoy Jayma's videos too! I have been making a big effort to use my Cricut more and I am always happy when I do. Mine sat for years collecting dust but now it is earning its keep. Sorry your computer and Cricut are not talking to each other, hopefully that was resolved. You have known about CTMH longer than I have! I think you are going to like a few of the stamp sets in the next catalog. There is a great farm animal one with a horse. It's part of a collection called The Good Life and I am really looking forward to creating with it. That is neat you grew up on a dairy. I was a dairy science major in college. We had a lot of labs on the dairy and I would go back to class smelling a bit too much like the cows, no one in my history class wanted to sit next to me lol.

Hi Erin! Yeah, I’m having pain with this fractured arm. I think it’s more soft tissue and nerve pain that surrounds where the fracture was. I came down pretty hard on my hand, especially the palm of my hand, the back part of the hand. I think I have a little soft tissue and nerve damage as when I rub my good hand over the top of my right hand and lower right forearm, it feels very weird like nerve issues. Writing is a problem and it’s painful when I try to do that. It’s good in the morning, but as I go through the day, it can become kind of painful. It’s not throbbing nearly as bad as what it did a month ago, but when I use it too much, It will start throbbing a little bit. I see the doctor on Monday so I’ll talk to him about those things and see what he says. Flexion isn’t good up or down, back-and-forth so we’ll see. It’s just gonna take time. I need to get back to work hopefully next month so I can buy more things that I want! I’ve been out of work since June 30 of last summer because of a foot wound and then I had back issues going on. Back surgery in May and now this arm, so hopefully I can get back to work next month. As a nurse, I have to be able to do documentation as I work for nursing agencies taking care of disabled kids. I have to do paper documentation so it entails a lot of writing. Hopefully in a month that will be better. Can’t hardly write my name hardly without pain. Lol. I’m too old to work in the hospital. Almost 65 and can no longer pound those floors for 12 hours/day. So painful when I get home. My computer is back up and running! I put a new SSD drive in it on Saturday and installed all the software and everything I had on it from before. So nice to have an SSD drive now because it boots up and shuts down quick. I no longer have to wait and wait and wait for webpages to come up. Will try out the Cricut this week again and see how that goes. Hopefully I can get it to connect now and cut what I want it to. I installed new RAM in this computer in January as one stick went bad. It had 8GB in it and I increased it to 16. Also put in a new graphics card with 4GB RAM in February to do video editing with. It was so doggy trying to do that before. So, with the new hard drive, I edited a very small video for an Amazon review Sunday night. Was so much faster! Just awesome! Now to learn the video and editing software more so I don’t have to call my geek friend in San Jose about it all the time! 🤣 I did sign up under you last week with CTMH, so have to learn the ropes of being a consultant. At this point I’m not able to purchase much until I can get back to work. I am planning on ordering that Cape Cod collection tomorrow or Friday. Just waiting on some money. I so love that collection. So much I want to order and so little funds right now. Waiting for the new yearly catalog to see what’s going to be in that. Also, I LOVE the idea of a horse theme and I bet you do too as I saw you have horses with one of the layouts you did recently with the Hey Handsome collection. GORGEOUS! My sister and I showed horses in 4-H in high school. My Quarter horse at the time came down with navicular disease right before I was going to show him in my Junior year. He had been doing so well before that. My 4-H leader let me show one of her horses. So at least was able to participate. I will have to get that collection so I can scrap my years of having horses. I wanted to get horses when my son was growing up, but I only have an acre of land. My MIL wouldn’t sell me 2 more acres of their 120, so never was able to have horses. My husband, her son was killed in 1990 (mid-air collision by Detroit) and were almost finished building our house at the time. I should have sold it and bought land to have horses on. I’m dumb. 🤣. Just couldn’t pull myself away from the home we built together. 😉

Haha, I was seriously thinking why is that side thicker, what the heck did I do? 😂 I am so glad you find the instruction helpful!

Thanks so much! The cute cow was a must have for me.

You are so welcome! I love using my stamps to create custom embellishments like this.

Thank you! Life is good indeed 😃

You are going to love the markers! You do need to have an alcohol marker friendly ink. I use Intense Black and let it dry for a bit before coloring.

Thank you Cindy ☺️ I appreciate the feedback on the video length and I’m thrilled to hear I’m inspiring you. Happy crafting my friend!

Have fun, the cow is so cute!

You are so welcome Diane, I am glad to hear the videos are helping you with your creativity.

Thank you Julia, I love incorporating stamps onto my layouts.

Thank you Brandy, this was a fun one to do with these cute farm stamps.

You are very welcome! I can imagine a lot of different uses for the boards and think it will be a great addition to the crafty stash.

Thank you! There is no better way to grow up than on a farm. I hope this gave you some ideas for your photos.

Thank you! I really had fun with this one, I love to stamp and color!

Lol, I needed it too! I’m so glad you like how I incorporated it onto the layout.

Thank you, I am a sucker for anything blue and green so this was speaking my language

Me too, it is so cute!

Thank you, I am glad you enjoyed it.

Thank you, It was fun to embellish with all the stamping.

Thank you! I love all the farm themed stamp sets, they are so cute.

Thank you Kati, these stamps are so cute!

Thank you, that stamp was a must have for me!

Thank you so much! These stamps were so fun to incorporate

Hello Pattie, thank you so much! There are a lot of inks out there in the crafting world and it can be confusing. An ink tips video is a great idea.

Thank you! I just thought that cow was too cute.

Oh, good to know, thank you! I really do enjoy these markers.

Good to know, I’ll have to start adding it into the videos.

Will do, I actually do a little coloring in my video airing tomorrow.

Okay great, I definitely will start adding it in.

Great, thanks for the feedback, I will definitely start including more of the coloring.

No lol, I realized I said that after the video was live. I was thinking Chocolate

Hi Judy, sorry it isn’t working smoothly for you. Once you get everything sorted out you were going to love it though. When you say windows I’m assuming you have a PC? I have a Mac and the software I use easily allows me to change the photo size. On my desktop I have iPhoto and when I’m printing from my iphone I use an app called print to size. I believe my friend uses the PicFrame app. Do you have a photo editing software on your computer?

@@CraftyConceptswithErin Hi Erin thanks so much for replying! Yes, I have a pc. I use the photo editing app that came with Windows. The print command from there only has limited options. I tried going into the picturemate software and I see the reduce by % there but have not been successful in applying it to the print command in the photo editor. I will look for apps compatible with pc and maybe that will do the trick. Thanks for so your wonderful inspiration, I'm a big fan!

Hello Sheryl, I am so glad you found my channel and hope you find a lot of inspiration and ideas to try. I link all the products I use under each video in the description box. You can also see the catalog online at the link below, (I prefer the PDF view). Close to my Heart will give you a free catalog/ idea book with your order too. However, it is always nice to have it in your hand. Let me know if you have any questions. erinjacobson.closetomyheart.com/ctmh/products/online-catalog.aspx

Hello, that is a great question. I highly recommend the Epson picture Mate 400 photo printer. I have always preferred Epson printers and I have tried many over the years. I have noticed many other crafters also recommend this printer. When printing from my iphone I use the Print to Size app. The price fluctuates a bit on Amazon for the printer but here is an affiliate link www.amazon.com/dp/B014KU0RIA/ref=cm_sw_r_as_gl_api_glt_i_ZK8446P3CWTMQ0RXP751?linkCode=ml2&tag=craftyconcept-20

That is a good question, I do not believe you can but I will look into it.

Lol, that is funny. I work in a vet hospital and most pet names are the obvious choice. I guess I like to go against the norm.
