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.

OLDIE BUT A GOODIE CHALLENGE 2

Hi Everyone

I thought it would be nice to play along with a new challenge today .. .. unfortunately I missed the first challenge .. .. but at least I am here for number 2.

The Challenge is called "Oldie But A Goodie". The idea of the challenge is that you use your old and neglected stamps (as if we have any ?!?!?!?? LOL!!!) with an old stamp being something that is at least 6 months old.

The theme this week is "Pink and Girly" and you can find the challenge blog here.

Here is my Pink and Girly Creation




along with a close up



and a close up of my little heart .. .. because I love it so much!!!  I made it with shrink plastic.



My creation used:

Image:  The Greeting Farm "Miss Anya Collection"
Sentiment:  Woodware Clear Stamps "FRCL128" Circular Greetings
Heart:  Woodware Clear Stamps "HMCL401" Modern Hearts Set
Backing Papers:  Funky Hand CD Dreams Come True
Nestabilities:  Standard Circles Large and Classic Scalloped Circles Large
Josy Rose:  Nail Heads
Woodware Multihead Flower Punch
Brad and Cord from the stash box


Great idea for a challenge blog theme ladies .. .. a good reason to look at our stamps a bit differently and no pressure to feel we have to have new stash.

Have a good Tuesday everyone.

Love
