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.

THE STAMP FAIRY CHALLENGE #20

Hi Everyone

Hope today has been good for you.

It has been lovely and sunny here but a bit nippy!!! 

I am a bit earlier today as I am going off to see my Mum and have a colouring session whilst we put the world to rights (again LOL!!). 

I thought I would play along with the Stamp Fairy Challenge again this week - where the theme is to follow a recipe.

The recipe being .. .. .. a bit of sparkle, three design papers and two dies or punches.

Here is my creation






This used:

Image:  The Stamp Fairy "Lenny" from the Happy New Year section
Woodware Clear Stamp for the corner stars:  "FRCL009" Must Have Retro Words
Sentiment:  Pink Petticoat
Backing Papers:  DCWV "Citrus Stack"
Woodware Punch for the heart (more than one today LOL!)
Nestabilities Die:  Scalloped Edge Frame
ProMarkers
Gold Embossing Powder
Glamour Dust

I know Lenny has come from the Happy New Year range of stamps but I think he will fit into any celebration theme   .. ..  birthdays, well done, congratulations .. .. .. and he is so lovely to colour!!!

So once again Thursday is the new Friday .. .. but for some strange reason it does actually feel like Friday already!! 

I am looking forward to seeing "the" wedding tomorrow.  I think they are such a lovely couple and Kate is going to make the most gorgeous, beautiful bride.  Lucky Prince William!!  What a shame his Mum cannot be there to share in their happiness.  That will be the only hint of sadness in what will be a wonderful day.

I hope everyone has a lovely evening and a great Bank Holiday weekend.

Love
