I am so excited to share the new Wander collection with you. Close to My Heart has created the perfect paper pack for your outdoor adventures! I have three layouts to share so keep scrolling. They have a free workshop for you too! (Details below)

I had fun documenting a night around the campfire roasting s’mores. We heard a crazy noise in the woods but it wasn’t at all what we thought it was and had a pretty good laugh at ourselves.

The dreamy Sapphire blue night sky patterned paper is my favorite next to the desert landscape. It is absolutely perfect for my Red Rock adventures. However, this paper pack works for your mountain camping adventures too. No trip to Utah necessary.

The embellishments were a combination of stickers from the coordinating sticker sheet and stamped images inked in Sapphire and Paprika. For the title, I die cut letters from Paprika cardstock with the Simple Serif thin cut dies. I sanded the letters to bring out the white core and give them a worn rustic look. Note the tiny stamped images on my journaling tag, it added the perfect finishing touch! You can check out the process video below but keep scrolling to see even more inspiration for this paper pack.

This layout (pictured below) was inspired by artwork in the catalog. I loved the layout and wanted to turn it into a double page layout and this is what I came up with.

The focus of this double page layout was to include a lot of photos while still keeping clean and simple lines. When we are on vacation there tends to be numerous photos capturing the action and we don’t want to leave any of them out. I incorporated a large 8×12 Flip Flap on the right side of my layout giving me plenty of room for additional photos and journaling. I will give you a closer look at the Flip Flaps in action in the process video.

Below is another layout to inspire you! The Wander title was actually one large sticker shaped into a rectangle. I knew the title was perfect for my page but not in the given format. I fussy cut around the letters and then overlapped them to fit the space. I popped up every other letter with dimensional foam to give it even more character. Just remember, with a little creativity, you can always alter embellishments to fit your layout.

CTMH is offering a free workshop for the Wander collection. You will join with others crafters virtually and create 3 double page layouts learning new techniques as you go. (Workshop layouts shown below)

This free virtual event begins August 24, 2:00 pm (MDT) on the Close to My Heart Facebook page.
