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.

JULES' CRAFTY SNIPPET CHALLENGE - WEEK 19

Hi Everyone

Here at last.

All recovered from the party and a very late night .. ..  all the party guests, including the birthday girl, have now gone home :-( 

Oh well, all good things must come to an end .. .. the same as all the bad ones.

Just our youngest Son here now for his Sunday dinner.  The calm after the storm!!  LOL!!!

Only time for a couple of snippet makes today . . but they did use up quite a few of those snippets that have been lurking around for a while.


 














For those who are new to my blog Sunday is the day that I use up all the lovely card and paper from around my workspace that I just cannot bear to throw away.  A case of waste not, want not.

I don't list all of the things I have used but if anyone would like to know what a particular element is then just ask away and I will come back to you.

The first one is my favourite this week. 

So who kept me company last week and played with their snippets too:

Well first up was my lovely playmate Sandra .. .. who is becoming quite a regular here.  Sandra is really putting me to shame and is using up lots of magazine freebies.  We all have these hanging about and I really must make an effort to drag some of mine out sometime.

Next to play along was Maarit who made a brilliant "do not disturb" sign with her snippets.  I love all the different elements on this.  So much to look at.  Maarit even does her own crochet flowers!!!  Aren't they gorgeous?

Then Mervi came to play with a gorgeous card that used a scrummy Penny Black image and so many gorgeous layers.  I loved it.  The sad thing is that I remember commenting on it .. .. but Mr Blogger managed to lose my comment amongst all the hassle he was having this week.  I have made amends and commenting again today .. .. just sorry it is late Mervi xx

Then last, but not least, came Kaz.   What a gorgeous creation Kaz came up with.  I love the colours and layout on this one very much and such beautiful colouring too.

Thank you so much ladies for all your inspiration and for keeping me company.  I hope you enjoyed playing along. 

I certainly enjoyed seeing what you created and I hope others will pop along for a look at your lovely makes too.

If anyone wants to play along this week then please link to Mr Linky below so we can all come and gain some inspiration from you.

By the way Stella, I haven't forgotten your lovely award.  I promise to post it tomorrow and thank you very much for thinking of me xx

I will catch you all again tomorrow and will hopefully get chance for a good old blog hop tonight once our evening meal is sorted.

Take care everyone.

Love
