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.

MONDAY SNIPPETS

Hi Everyone

Well that is it.  Label Day done and dusted for another year.

Everything is put back where it belongs and all the bits of paper and glitter have all been hoovered up.  Everywhere is looking decidedly tidy .. .. well that won't last long LOL!!!

Then the best thing of all .. .. the snippet drawers now close .. . woo hoo!!

There are a few of my labels below but first here is my snippet make for taking over to Di's Crafty Snippet Challenge and also for entering into the Digistamp Boutique Challenge for December.




I can't be lazy on a Monday so here are my ingredients:

Image:  Digistamp Boutique "Tia and Rufus Collection" .. .. on offer at the mo!!!
Sentiment:  Computer Generated using Font Wackadoo
Backing Papers:  From my Pink Petticoat Snippet Collection
ProMarkers and Chalk
Josy Rose:  Nail Heads
Dovecraft:  Holly Punch
Charm, ribbon and pom-poms from my Stash Box

So that is my share for this evening .. .. and here are some of my tags from yesterday.


We had a great day (as we always do when we are all together) and by far the most popular items on the table were the snippets of kraft card and the Memory Box Modern Landscape Border Die.  It was well used yesterday by everyone!!!

Hope you all had a lovely weekend and a great Monday.  This time in two weeks it will be Christmas Eve .. .. my favourite day of Christmas!!  Woo hoo!!!

So not many days of Christmas makes left .. .. but still lots to do!

Catch you again tomorrow.

Love

The papers and colours are gorgeous
The labels look brilliant, such a great way to use up some snippets, of which I seem to have a lot as I can't bear to throw anything away.

Fabby card Jules - love the paper piecing, and the blingy necklace is a cute addition to an already perfect card.

And those tags are gorgeous! I wish I had the time to do some for Christmas but fat chance :(

Mind your step, the playground is like a skating rink this morning, the donkey already did the splits twice (and that was just me!).

Love, Di xx
