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.

HOLIDAY HUGS

Hi Everyone

Are you ready to panic?!?!!?

December starts tomorrow!!!!   Eeeeekkk!!!

Well as promised a change of card tonight .. .. a little bit of colouring from me!




This used:

Image:  Penny Black "Holiday Hugs"
Sentiment:  Pink Petticoat "Sentiment Ribbons"
Backing Paper: Pink Petticoat "Sprinkled With Twinkles"
Woodware Punch:  Small Holly Leaves
My Trusty Sewing Machine
ProMarkers
Adhesive Pearls

I am entering this into two challenges:

Moving Along With The Times where you have to have three elements starting with the same letter.  My elements are: Santa, Scarlet and Stitching (and just in case any of those don't count I will add Snowman, Sparkly Stickles, and two lovely smiles .. .. which is stretching things just a little LOL!!!)

and


Here is the sketch if you fancy a play.  I turned mine up-side-down .. .. just because I could!


So that is me for today.

I'll catch you again tomorrow but in the meantime have a fabby weekend!!!

Love

Hi Jules, another great card. Love the holly and berries embellishments and the PB is terrific - Santa's wee glasses are fab :)

You've just reminded me to print off some of the sentiment ribbons - I keep forgetting :(

Good luck with the challenges. Hugs, Elizabeth xx

A lovely card Jules. They certainly look a happy pair - no panic on their faces. Panic in this house all week - going down south to the family next weekend and nowhere near ready enough.
Yes those papers came from Costco. My niece bought them for me not long after she got me into card making with stamps and stuff and not just on the pc.
Have a great weekend.
