What a great every day subject. My hubby grinds beans for our coffee every morning. I will have to get some pics of him and scrap that. Thanks, Erin!

This is so fun! Love the colors and love your mug! You could add a dragon from storybook for your dragon temp 😂😂😂

What a great idea for a smaller album! 😍😍

[joseedostie-kodja]

Love it! The colours and all! I’m loving the 8-1/2 x 11 sketches!

Love this LO Erin, I do the same with my coffee I have it on the patio every morning in the summer and really enjoy it. I’m a 12x12 scrapbooker but I think this would be fun to do a cheer competition and soccer scrapbook for each of my 5 granddaughters. Thanks for sharing all the tips and inspiration with us all. Have a wonderful day. ☕️☕️☕️

As always, another wonderful layout from you Erin. Your attention to detail is always so inspiring!!

I’m pretty much strictly a 12x12” scrapper these days. When I had my old scrapbook store, I did every size known to mankind, LOL. But now that I’m mainly scrapping for myself, I’m doing what I love, which is the 12x12”format.

The way some of you CDT Design Team members have shown how to turn these 8-1/2x11” into 12x12s is really helpful for those folks who started scrapping with that odd, original size of pages from the old CM world & now wish they could get everything into the same size 12x12” albums. They can take those old CM pages & turn them into 12x12s with these techniques you’ve shown throughout the week. I used to teach a class on exactly this & it helped out a lot of people!! If you get a chance to market the sketchbook again, I’d be sure to mention this!!!

Thanks for everything you & the other CDT team do for us!! It’s always much appreciated❤️!!!

Love the idea for transforming the layout to 12x12!

[serenityinhim]

Love this layout! I was a HUGE fan of 81/2x11 when I first started scrapbooking 22 years ago. I’m so excited it’s trending again!! Your layout is so beautiful and simple just how I love! Color scheme and theme are so perfect! Thank you for inspiring me! ❤❤-christine

[karenharman]

Love this page! And I love that you showed how it could become a 12 x 12 too!

[paulawillard]

You do such beautiful work and are a great teacher. Thanks!!

[ellaconner]

Great layout ☕️. Love the papers with this! TFS

[mariajacobson]

What a cute layout!!!! I love the colors in the paper pack--so pretty. The 11 x 8 is a nice layout. I can see it used for photos in frames--you are giving me tons of ideas. Maybe a photo framed layout to display by a 12 x 12 scrape book of the same theme--I'm thinking my beloved furbabies framed by their albums.

I always love a good coffee layout! I have to drink mine from a travel mug too...dragon's breath 😂 but mine is always fully caffenated ❤

[cindyslater]

I am a 81/2x11 scrapper. I always scrapped 12x12 for years then started to change up. I do mini albums I have a daily journal and cards. I enjoy it all!!

[bonniemeister]

I will be lifting this layout for sure!

[sharonhunt]

I’m mostly and 8.5x11 scrapbooker now. So excited for the sketch book! Your layout was gorgeous!

[JulieCarriere_TheScrapZone]

I started with 8.5x11 over 20 years ago, yup I just said I am looking forward to revisiting this format. Great layout 😃

[mommabeth]

So very fun. Thank you for sharing how to do this both sizes

[createwithlouise]

I prefer 12 x 12 pages, so I appreciate you showing how to make the sketch work for them.

[JaniceGilhooley]

So much fun - you had me laughing with the scraplifting layout progression! Love the theme of your album and can't wait to see more of your pages about you. ❤❤❤
