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.

I'M BEGINNING TO THINK I AM A BIT MAD !!!

Hi Everyone

Wow .. .. how cold is it today?!?!?!?

We woke up to a little smattering of snow .. .. and it hasn't thawed all day.  We have the promise of a little more to come as well.

I cannot believe I am going to be outside tomorrow for hours on end .. .. .. I am beginning to think I am a bit mad!!  LOL!!!

All of my goodies are starting to make their way into the hallway ready to load into the car in the morning.  The front of the line being two chairs and a little heater (which I have been told we are allowed to take).

Now to make up for me being a let down yesterday I have taken two lots of photographs for you today.

This is the first .. .. .. which is my favourite creation of the day:






This used:

Image:  Penny Black "3557H" Little Trees and "3553H" Christmas Lights
Sentiment:  Lili of the Valley
Backing Paper:  Papermania "A Silent Night"
Nestabilities:  Labels
Martha Stewart Punch:  Traditional Scallop
Distress Inks:  Tea Die (for distressing)  Peeled Paint and Barn Door for painting images
Glamour Dust
Diamond Stickles
Brad, Eyelets and Ribbon from the stash box

My second share:

These are little mini cards .. .. similar to a large version I shared a while back.  I have made quite a few of them .. .. far more than are photographed here.



This used:

Image: PSX "F-2104" - no name on the stamp but I think it is called "Snowy Village"
Josy Rose:  Nail Heads
Glamour Dust
Ribbon from the stash box


So that is the end of my making for a little while.   I am getting withdrawal symptoms already!!!  LOL!!
 
Time now to finish putting my inserts into my finished creations and package them up and then load everything into the boxes ready for morning.
 
I am hoping to get some nice photographs at the fayre tomorrow .. .. .. it should look quite magical .. .. .. it will just depend on whether my fingers are warm enough to be able to press the button on the camera .. .. and whether I can aim without dithering!!   LOL!!  (not sure why I am laughing .. .. must be hysteria setting in).
 
If my fingers are working .. .. .. and my pictures are worth looking at .. .. .. I will share those with you tomorrow.
 
Have a good evening everyone.  X-Factor tonight .. .. yay!!!!
 
Love
