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.

ROYAL MAIL

Hi Everyone

Nice and early tonight from me .. .. as we have visitors landing very soon (some might say to share a Chinese Meal but others will say for a crafty session LOL!!!).

I am so pleased that everyone enjoyed my bit of Friday Fun yesterday.  It proved to me that I am not the only one who likes mundane but enjoyable little games and so much so that I have decided to work on a Christmas Quiz for all you fellow Penny Black addicts.  Just how many stamps you will have to name we will have to wait and see .. .. but you will have the Christmas holidays to play along with and there will be a prize for the first person to get all the names correct and a second prize drawn at random.

A lovely little thing for me to work on in my spare time LOL!!!

Anyway, here is the share I couldn't finish last night.  Simply because I couldn't find the set with the little sentiments on .. .. and where were they?

Exactly where they should be and exactly where I had looked .. . THREE TIMES!!

So here we go:




This used:

Image:  Penny Black "3766J" Royal Mail (as correctly guessed by lots of you)
Sentiments:  Marianne Design "Eline's Owls "EC0142"
Backing Papers:  Pink Petticoat "Snow Flurry" and "Pinstripes"
Hobbycraft Punch:  Snowflake
ProMarkers and Chalk
Josy Rose:  Nail Heads
Diamond Stickles
Ribbon from my stash box

So who was the lucky winner of my prize below


It was the lovely Debs who came back with the correct answer in record time .. .. all I have to do now is bundle it up nicely and wait for Debs to do something wonderful with it .. .. as I know she will.

Well done Debs.

Lots of my favourite ribbons, cords and charms .. .. with a lovely sprinkling of hearts to be seen.

Well my lovely visitors have just landed so I need to run .. .. but thank you to everyone for playing along with me.  I am glad you had fun and I will work on the Christmas special .. .. but I can't promise it will be so easy next time LOL!!!

Love

A delightful image and a gorgeous card. I think craft things have the ability to become invisible. That's the only explanation I can think of for the trouble we have finding things sometimes. I can't be that we've got too much stuff - can it?
