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.

BEE CRAFTY CHALLENGE #3

Hi Everyone

I am a bit earlier today .. .. .. lots to fit into today so I thought I would share a creation with you nice and early.. .. .. ..  plus, if you have time, it will give you more time to play along with the challenge if you fancy the look of it.

Beautiful weather here.  It started with a nice crisp frost which has disappeared to leave sunshine and a lovely blue sky .. .. but a bit of a cold breeze.

My share today is for a challenge which has only recently started.  The Bee Crafty Challenge.  I didn't get the chance to play along last week .. .. but this week there is a lovely sketch to follow.  I don't know about you but I love working to sketches.  It removes some of the thinking for me LOL!!!

Here is my creation






and this is the sketch which needed following (of course I could have flipped it but I loved it just the way it was).



My card used:

Image: Penny Black "3917J" Welcome PartySentiment:
Great Impressions "B154" From All of Us
Sentiment: Woodware Clear Stamps "FRCL031" Traditional Christmas
Backing Papers: Pink Petticoat
ProMarkers
Star Dust Stickles
Josy Rose: Nail Heads
Cord from the stash box

So that is me for today.

Have a lovely Sunday.  Hopefully I will get chance to do a bit of blog visiting this evening and see what you have all been up to.

Love
