Welcome to the Simply Inspired Blog Hop! We (16 other talented artists and I) are thrilled to share some of our ideas for the the new products debuting in the Spring/Summer Idea Book which debuts on February 1st. WARNING:  The artwork you see might make you NEED the new products! Don't say I didn't warn you!

Spring Summer 2014 Close To My Heart Catalog/Idea Book

If you have come here from the oh-so-creative Katy Taylor's blog you are on the right path. This blog hop is a great big circle, so you can start here and work your way all around. If you get lost along the way, you'll find the complete list of participating consultants here.

I chose to create a layout of my hubby and boys pheasant hunting in December using the new Timberline Collection and a few other marvelously masculine coordinating products. I love this paper and think it's great for so many things. Obviously camping, hunting, fishing, boating, and anything outdoors will work, but so will so many other things. I actually plan to use some of the wood print sheets from the Timberline paper pack for a shabby-chic sign in book I am doing for my son, Tannon's wedding next month. I'll share that when it's done as well.  That wood doesn't have to look rustic, it can look shabby-chic as well.  In fact, scroll back up and take a look at the cover of the new Idea Book. Can you see where some of that paper was used?  Think outside the box!

The new products I used are: the Timberline Paper Pack, the Timberline Complements Coordinating Adhesive Sheets, the Timberline Assortment, the Paper Fundamentals Basics Assortment, Topiary Mini Chevron Ribbon and the cool new Durables Triangle Studs.

A few of the new products I used
See that fun paper in the bottom of the photo collage above?  It is our new Paper Fundamentals Basics Assortment and I have LOVED playing with it!  One side is a neutral and white geometric print and the other side is a tone on tone embossed print.  I took my slate pad and rubbed it on the tone on tone embossed side (you can see the paper I used in the top right photo in the collage above. It's the paper just under the bottom right corner of the stamp pad to create a cool effect.  Can you see where I used it on the layout?

Here are a few detail shots of the layout I created:

I LOVE your use of the Paper Fundamentals cardstock - BEAUTIFUL!! Thanks for sharing the tip of sponging the papers!

I'm always amazed at your scrapbook pages, and they always catch my attention because your pages/photos are often similar interests that take place in our household ;). Pheasant hunting...of course my hubby wanted the details on the hunt- LOL! :) Thanks for sharing! :)
