I’m going to interrupt my own CHA blog posts here and share a couple of layouts that I made this week using some of the catalogs that I brought back from the show. I’m anxious to get a lot of the new products in, but some of them won’t be shipping for a good while yet and these companies spend a good deal of money designing these gorgeous catalogs to show off their products…so I figure why can’t I use them to scrap with as well?

To create this layout, I started with a sheet of Tim Holtz Kraft Core Cardstock for my base, and then I ripped off the back cover from the Fancy Pants catalog (Wood grain) & the front cover of the Basic Grey catalog. I trimmed them up a bit and then added them to my page!

I punched some large circles out of the wood grain sheet before I placed it behind the Basic Grey sheet so I could use them as extra page embellishments!

Here are a few close up shots:
