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.

SUNDAY SNIPPETS

Hi Everyone

Happy Sunday!!

Well I am ploughing through my chores and "do list" quite well today .. .. .. please, please please let this be the way the whole week is going to go!!!  If so I will be one happy bunny come next weekend.

Funny how you have days when everything goes your way .. .. and then others where it feels like everything is working against you!!

One of the things on my "must do" list is a little acceptance card in response to a celebration we have been invited to (you will never guess who did the invitations and the favours LOL!!!).

Although this looks huge in the photographs it is really a dinky little 11.5cm x 9cm and it is really cute.  This is what I will be taking over to Pixie's Crafty Snippet Challenge this week as the whole thing used up some of those snippets that are slowly taking over the craft pod!!!  

I am beginning to feel like I could become one of those "secret hoarders" that they do TV programmes about.  The presenter will climb her way into my craft pod and hold up a miniscule piece of ribbon or card and say "can we just throw this little piece away?" .. .. and I will reply "oh no, I can punch a heart out of that or tie a tiny bow with that ribbon!!  LOL!!!

Anyway, here is my snippet share for this week





As always I am lazy on a Sunday and do not list my ingredients .. .. but you know you can always ask if you want to know what anything is.

I really enjoyed making such a small card and think I should do a few more of these for the salon .. .. when I get chance!!!

OK .. .. off to make the most of this being a good day.

Guess what?!?!?  We have 4 tiny tomatoes already!!!  We have never had fruit in our greenhouse so early in the year!!  We grow the little tiny cherry tomatoes .. .. I keep looking but have never found any heart shaped ones yet.  Wouldn't they look pretty hanging on all the plants in my greenhouse. After all they are called "love apples" so if they were heart shaped it would be much more appropriate don't you think?  LOL!!

Enjoy your Sunday.

Love

you have done well with your tomatoes!!!…I love those little sweet cherry ones and oh I had such high hopes for growing some this year… and some lettuce and chives etc… but our lean-to greenhouse blew down three times in all that bad weather.. and my mum got so mad with it that she ditched it!!! LOL :-0
Hope you are enjoying the weekend!
Big hugs

Gosh, this is a beauty. (Sneaky way to do those hearts too!) Love this background. Not sure if this was a square die set onpoint, or if was the diamond die, but it is very effective done this way. And your little posey trim - really pretty. Now THIS would make a great anniversary card with the sentiment changed! TFS & Hugs

A beautiful card Jules - elegant and classy, CAS and fabulous! Love it!

Isn't it exciting when your home-grown produce starts to appear. We(well, Hubby actually!)has an allotment, and he dragged me over there yesterday to admire his hard work! Your Toms' are definitely early though - ours are teeny-weeny and no fruit as yet!
Hugs, Sylvia xx

Wow Jules, such a lovely acceptance card - and I did giggle about the teeny little piece of ribbon or card. Is this snippets lark making us better or perhaps even worse?!

Just about to pack my little spotted handkerchief and head back home - hugs, Di xx
