Simply Inspired Blog Hop--Balloon Ride

Tomorrow is the official release of the new Close to My Heart Spring/Summer Catalog and a perfect excuse for a blog hop. If you arrived here from Brenda's blog, then you are on the right path. If you get lost along the way, you can go to this link to start fresh.
 

A few years ago, I went to Paris on the trip of a lifetime. But I haven't scrapbooked very many of my pictures because the paper had to be just right. And the new Balloon Ride paper is just right.


Check out these Storyteller charms. They are perfect. They come in antiqued silver (shown) and antiqued gold (three of each) and you can use them for jewelry projects or on your layout as I did here.


And the Give a Lift stamp set! Ahhh, how it makes my heart soar. And you've got to love the resin heart from the Balloon Ride assortment.

While all of these products were perfect for my Paris photos, I have another layout in mind for them later involving my dog and his idea that hot air balloons were dragons in the sky that my family needed protection from. Stay tuned--that one may show up here in the future.

And now on to the lovely Debbi's blog. I'm sure she'll have something fabulously inspiring there.

Enjoy and thanks for stopping by!
