Hey everyone! This month we are doing a blog hop featuring the beautiful For Always paper pack by Close to my Heart. I used the For Always paper Pack. I just love this paper pack, it is one of my favorites! I used my favorite cricut cartridge, the Artiste on all projects.   

For my first project I used the For Always paper pack, and a beautiful stamp set B1418 Love Doily.  I embossed it with white embossing powder to show of all the detail.  I used retired Cranberry ribbon and blinged it up a little.

For my next project I was inspired by all the chalkboard artwork out there.  There are some great Youtube videos if you do a google search.  I used the For Always paper pack as background paper.  Then used the February Stamp of the month, Home Sweet Home.  I embossed the image in white embossing powder, and heat set it. Then I used a sponge dauber to add a touch of Blush and Sky pigment inks.  For the hearts I used the Artiste to cut out cardstock and Glitter paper.  Don't you love the new black glitter buttons? 

I also used this for my Mojo Monday card, Mojo 278

 and the Heart 2 Heart All that Glitters Blogs. 

For my next project I had to use our new Paper Pouches and For Always Textiles~love them!  First I used my Ruby ink pad and swiped it inside the embossing folder, and embossed it in my Big Shot.  The I used a sponge dauber and a Blush ink pad to create a border.  I used cut outs from the Artiste cartridge, a banner from the Textiles {yes, fabric!} and a bow made from naked Color-ready seam binding ribbon.  The sentiment is from the Whooo's your Valentine stamp.
