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.

CHERRY ON TOP

Hi Everyone

I hope you have had a good Monday and a lovely start to your week.

All our snow has disappeared now and everywhere looks green and clean again!!

A good part of my day has been spent putting everything away and cleaning up .. .. after all the mess I made during the course of last week.

All the wedding fayre goodies have been stored away ready for making another appearance in a few weeks time when we have another fayre booked at our usual venue .. .. The Dovecliff Hotel.

But for now a quick and simple birthday card using my snippets for entering into Pixie's Crafty Snippet Challenge:




This used:

Image:  LOTV "Cherry on Top"
Sentiment:  Pink Petticoat "Tiny Sweet Treat" Sentiments"
Backing Paper:  Wild Rose Studio "Gorgeous Ginghams"
ProMarkers
Glossy Accents
Diamond Stickles
Ribbon from the Stash Box

and that is me for today.

Love this cute little image .. .. and also some of the new LOTV ones that have just come out .. .. but no chance for me to own any of those just yet .. .. I have the dreaded car insurance to pay this week eeekkk!!!!  

Enjoy what is left of the evening and I will catch you again tomorrow.

Love

What a cute card...I love all those little mice!!!

I love the colours you chose and the gifgham paper and ribbon look so pretty.

No psending for me either . We have to insure our truck as well and pay our fees for the lot up at the lake...eeeek also!

Even though yous ave for it, it is still a shocking feeling to hand over that much money in one month!

Bonnie said...

I'm not usually too keen on mice in the kitchen, Jules, but this group is adorable! Love all the gingham too!
