My photo
A very warm welcome to my teeny, tiny part of the huge world of blogging. This is where I share my passion for making hand made greeting cards. So - why "Always with a Heart"? Well this is for two reasons. Firstly, it is because every card I produce carries a heart on it somewhere. This can be big and bold or small and almost hidden - the fun sometimes is just trying to find it! Secondly it is because I put my heart into everything I produce. I hope that any visitors enjoy seeing what I post. If you drop by then please leave me a comment so that I know you called. It would be nice to know that you have found my heart in what I do.

ALLSORTS DT CARD

Happy snowy Saturday morning everyone

Lots of big snowflakes here today settling on top of clumps of sheer ice!!! Beautiful to look at but dangerous to walk on. Think I will try and stay in all day today and play with bits of paper, rubber and ink. LOL!!!

Today sees another challenge starting over at Allsorts.

This week it is the turn of Emma and she has provided a sketch for everyone to work to.

Here is what I created

Here's the sketch
You are allowed to add embellishments and sentiments where you wish but I decided my creation just didn't have room for much more LOL!!

My creation used:

Image: Coco Bear from Digistamp Boutique (Allsorts sponsor this week)
Backing Papers: Pink Petticoat
Nestabilities: Classic Scalloped Circles Large
Inkssential "Glossy Accents"
Glamour Dust
Koh-I-Noor pencils
Ribbon from the stash box

So that is me for today. I hope you get chance to play along with Allsorts this week and to pop along and see what my teamies created (I think a few of us fell in love with Coco the Bear this week LOL!!).

Have a great weekend everyone. Stay warm and safe.

Love Jules xx

I have to agree he is a lovely little bear Jules. Love the card and your interpretation of the sketch.

I've just been outside photographing the real icicles that I noticed had replace our Christmas lights ones. It's years since I've seen icicles like them!
