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.

RUSHING OFF TO THE SNIPPET PLAYGROUND PDQ

Hi Everyone

I hope you are all well and that all this pesky snow isn't causing you any problems.

We are hoping to hibernate this weekend .. .. so it can do what it wants .. .. but that isn't very fair on all of those folk who are going to have to brave it!!!!  So stay safe if you are out and about in it.

It hasn't amounted to much here but it is very, very cold.

Thought I was going to miss out on playing along with Pixies Crafty Snippet Challenge this week .. ..  but thankfully things have come nicely together this week so I have been able to join in after all .. .. yay!!!

Here is my little creation:





This used:

Image:  Penny Black "4127K" Born Wild!
Sentiment:  Kanban Tickets AS6008
Backing Papers:  A mixture from the snippet drawers
Cuttlebug Embossing Folder:  "Diamond Plate"
Josy Rose:  Nail Heads
ProMarkers and Chalks
Glossy Accents

and that is it.  Just time to get my scarf and gloves on and head off over to the playground.

Catch you again soon.

Hoping to have a few more creations to share over the next few days.

Have a great weekend.

Love

Love this snippets card...I am so partial to Penny Black images!
My scrapbook store had stamps 40% off last week so I broke out some birthday money and bought 2 new sets...I am so excited! I am going to get them inked up and printed when i get back from my Mum's again,

Your card is so lovely...I really like that embossing folder...I don't have that one so will use one of Little Mr P's wheels on his jeeps...run it through some ink and then apply if to paper...It will do for now and then I am going to track that folder down . You used it befroe aon another lovely card and I drooled over it then too!!!

BRilliant! Your red graph paper and metal tile are the perfect accompaniment to this delightfully coloured cool hedgey, Jules, Hugs, Lesley

Aw Jules, this is fabulous! LOVE the hedgie image and the papers and embossing go so well. My guess is that you deliberately picked that embossing folder - it's perfect and looks just like the tread of a tyre! So glad you came to play after all :)

Great job as ever Jules - we don't have much snow either but freezing cold..have to brave it as OH performing tonight at a posh 'do'.

Viv said...

Flippin eck - me again - just read what I'd said - 'performing'??? I meant he is playing the piano...and accompanying a soloist!!! (Not me I hasten to add!)

Hi Jules

Great card, love the motorbiking hedgehog, he looks as if he's on a mission!

Just back from a few days in Amsterdam to be greeted with 2ft of snow at home! Thankfully our flight was only delayed for a few hours. I don't know, turn your back for a moment and look what happens lol

Hope you are staying warm and snuggly.

Have a lovely weekend, big hugs xx
