Welcome to another Roxybonds Scrappers Team Blog Hop. Today we will be showcasing the "For Always" paper. I used the Workshop on the Go  to create these 3 layouts: I had never used the bow tie feature on the Cricut Artise Cartridge but I love it! It was so simple and easy too. I added a 3rd layout with an extra piece of Ruby paper to create the 2nd layout. I also added the Close to My Heart Ready Color Seam Binding and colored it Lagoon. The next stop on your blog hop is Cat's Scrapbooking where she created a great project to show you. All the supplies used can be purchased directly here .

The new Chantilly paper pack from Close to My Heart is so versatile that I have had so much fun playing with it. Chantilly is not just a paper pack it is also a fabric line. Here is the flower bouquet I made using the Cricut Artise Cartridge. I used the 5 different flowers at sizes between 3" and 5". You can purchase the supplies for this home decor project and more directly from my website .

One of the best parts of Close to My Heart is how easy layouts can come together. Their paper packs have all the paper, cardstock and patterned paper, matched and ready to go. The pack tells you what colors coordinate with the pack so it is easy to grab ink  and markers. Each paper pack also comes with coordinating embellishments that coordinate perfectly. The other added value Close to My Heart has is the Make it From Your Heart Book with sketches and samples of 18 different layouts and 12 card sketches and samples. Here is Sketch 16 from Make it From Your Heart that I created using the Chantilly paper pack, Chantilly Assortment and Opaques Pearl. Additional Close to My Heart supplies used were: Twilight Ink Buttercup Ink A Blossom Acrylic Stamp Set Hooray Bouquet Acrylic Stamp Set Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge Opaque Pearls Chantilly Assortment You can order all these supplies directly through my website .
