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.

SKETCH SATURDAY

Hi Everyone

Happy Saturday to you and Happy World Cardmaking day too!! 

I hope your day has been good and that you managed to find a bit of crafty time for yourself.

Most of mine has been used up in preparation work for a new wedding order I gained last month.  All proofs are signed off now so it is full steam ahead!

But I had to have a little play this evening and am finding myself addicted to the Sketch Saturday Challenge.  Lovely that half the thinking has been done for me and all I need to do is dig out the ingredients.

This is what I have come up with this week:




This used:

Image:  Penny Black "2072J" For You
Sentiment:  Lili of the Valley
Backing Papers:  Docrafts "Wellington"
My Trust Sewing Machine
Josy Rose:  Nail Heads
ProMarkers and Chalk
Nestabilities:  Classic Square
Diamond Stickles

and here is the sketch


Time for a bit of snap now along with a bit of TV snuggled on the sofa.  I love Saturday nights!!

Have a good one and I'll catch you again tomorrow with my snippets.

Love

SO cute. Love those little hedgehogs! And I also love where you placed the striped paper--makes for interesting angles on the blue paper.
