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.

HAPPY HANDY HIPPO DAY - WEEK 18

Hi Everyone

My these weeks are flying.

Already we are on week 18 of my Handy Hippo makes!!

Plus halfway through January!!!  Eeekkk!!!  Slow down, slow down .. .. you naughty calendar!!

Here is my project for this week:






Below you can find the Handy Hippo magic button .. .. and if you click on it you can see all the lovely goodies I used to make this little project. Everything I have used has been automatically added to a shopping basket and as always you can remove anything you do not need (or add anything else you can't resist).


This is the sentiment set that I took my words from .. .. as you can see this card could have been for just about any occasion as there are so many fabulous words you can arrange in a multitude of ways.


I chose to work with these products this week so that I could let you know about the new range of Sizzix dies that Handy Hippo are starting to carry (along with lots of other goodies too .. .. so many fabulous things are on the way).

I was having a little stroll around the store on Saturday morning whilst waiting for a visitor to arrive and suddenly I spied the Grand Calibur and a host of grand nestabilities .. .. all at fantastic prices!!  Oh dear!!  So many goodies!!!  LOL!!!

Anyway, I hope you like my project this week.

I'll see you again next week with my next Handy Hippo creation .. .. there will be no problem in finding a heart on it that's for sure!!!

Catch you again soon.

Love



and all the lovely friendly people at Handy Hippo
