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.

CHRISTMAS LOVE

Hi Everyone

Well a lovely productive day in the House of Hearts .. .. dare I say I am nearly finished with Christmas cards!!!  But only "nearly" LOL!!!

A bit of a miserable day weather wise here .. . but it hasn't bothered me other than getting a bit wet going to the old post box .. .. which was full to bursting!!!!

Tonight's share is for a lady I used to work with who sadly lost her husband a few weeks ago.  I didn't want her card to be cute and over the top with Christmas joy as I know it is going to be a very difficult time for her and her daughter .. .. hopefully I have gauged it right with this little make.




This used:

Image:  PSX "F-2104" Christmas Town
Sentiment:  Pink Petticoat "Handwritten Christmas Sentiments"
Backing Papers:  Dovecraft Back to Basics "Vinatage"
Josy Rose:  Nail Heads
Glamour Dust (though you probably can't see much of it)
Metallic Cord

So that is me for today and tomorrow is Mr Heart's birthday!

I can't wait to share with you the card I have made for him.  I am really chuffed with it .. .. and it was made with snippets!!!  

I'll catch you tomorrow.

Enjoy what is left of the evening.

Love
