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.

SKETCH SATURDAY

Hi Everyone

I hope you are all well and your weekend has got off to a good start.

We are having the "very odd" flake of the white stuff here this morning .. .. so I wonder if we are going to have a little covering later?!?!?!

I have missed taking part in the Sketch Saturday Challenge the last few weeks so decided to play along nice and early this week and here is my little creation:




This used:

Image:  Penny Black "2243K" Bee Costume
Sentiment:  Hero Arts "CL171" Sparkle Clear Tickets
Backing Papers:  Pink Petticoat "Isabelline"
ProMarkers
Glamour Dust
Diamond Stickles
Gems and Buttons from my stash box

and if you fancy playing along here is the lovely sketch I worked to:


Major sorting out and re-organisation going on in the House of Hearts today .. . and then hopefully this evening I will get chance to have a sit down and relax with a catch up in blogland!

I was hoping to have done some visiting last night but by the time I sat down I was just "too tired" .. .. or lazy!!!!!!!

Catch you again tomorrow with my snippets.

Love
