With the For Always paper pack, I made a fun and chunky Love Story mini album.  I used the chipboard pages that came with my Artiste collection, the *For Always Workshop on the Go Scrapbooking Kit (item # G1055) and some other accessories.   

        I decorated each page leaving room for journaling and small pictures.  

 I used liquid glass to add shine and texture to the yellow stamped flowers. 

The items used to make this album are:

Cricut Artiste Cartridge

Cricut Art Philosophy Cartridge

*For Always paper packet (x7165b)

White Daisy cardstock

*For Always assortment (z1811)

Sparkles Black & Grey assortment

Dimensional Elements album pages

Bakers Twine Paradise assortment and Neutral assortment

Black striped grosgrain ribbon

Black Tulle ribbon

*Shimmer Trim in black (z1809) and silver

Liquid Glass

Archival Black stamp pad

Exclusive ink stamp pads in Honey, Slate, White daisy

I hope you like my album!

Make It From Your Heart

Yesterday, I finally decided to get crackin' on putting together my sons scrapbook.  And it's about time because he is almost 4 months old!  I did a one page layout using a pattern from the Close To My Heart book - Make It From Your Heart. 


 


This affordable how-to publication features 16 two-page layout patterns, 2 single-page patterns, as well as 12 different card patterns.  There are so many great ideas in here that it is a must-have for every crafter :)  And it is only $7.95!

For this page I used a retired paper pack called Fanfare as well as cranberry bakers twine, burlap ribbon, bitty brads, embroidery floss, Cricut Art Philosophy, Cricut Artiste, exclusive inks stamp pad in Honey, and My Acrylix stamp - Kudos- which is a part of the Cricut collection you receive when ordering the Artiste Cart.

There are so many great paper packs offered by Close To My Heart that you are sure to find one (or more) that is perfect for your pictures.  Visit my website HERE and get started.
