Whether traveling near or far, travel themed pages are nothing new. However, the Wanderful paper pack and accompanying items are new as of August 1st! I used this paper pack to create a layout as one of the inspiration pieces for the Take Heart Idea sketch challenge.
Here is the sketch along side my layout. You can see I followed the sketch very closely.
When I saw this paper pack I had a great idea for the photos I would use. Although I have not been a world traveler, my husband has. I had several photos in mind that I planned to use for a layout. However, when it came time to get this done, they were nowhere to be found. I’m sure none of you have ever had that happen! Well, I found a couple of other photos to use. They aren’t all that far from home, not even out of the state, but it was a fun adventurous weekend that just the two of us had! I’m sure I’ll find the photos and there is plenty of time to use the paper again. It will be in the new CTMH Idea book until July 2015. Here is a closer look.

Travel themed layout featuring Close to My Heart “Wanderful” papers
The blue polka dot paper is the reverse side of the black passport print. The stamps I used were from the following sets: World Traveler #C1592, True to Life #C1575, and Take Note – #D1574 from the Cricut Artbooking Bundle.

White pigment ink stamped on black card stock, with faux stitching in white.
A bit of baker’s twine was used for the pennant banner, with glue dots securing each of the little triangles. Faux stitching was done with a White Signo Uniball pen.

Triangles cut to make a pennant banner. Mounted to baker’s twine with glue dots.
A journaling spot was created by stamping on white card stock and using a punch on the side. The edges were scruffed up a bit to add a bit more dimension.

Journaling square stamped and edge punched.
