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 MEET SKETCH SATURDAY

Hi Everyone

What a fabulous weekend.

I hope the weather has been as gorgeous for you as it has been here.

It was a fabby day for my "happy couple" who got married yesterday.  Beautiful sunshine that wasn't red hot and sweltering.  Just perfect.

Today has given me time to have a little play along with Pixie's Crafty Snippet Challenge and I used the sketch from the Sketch Saturday Challenge too.




As always on a Sunday (when I actually post!!!) I am lazy and do not list my ingredients but I am sure you all know where my goodies have come from.

If you fancy playing along here is the sketch I used:


Love the cute image I used for my card but I struggled to colour the water .. .. it is nothing like true to life!! 

Never, ever, when I went fishing with my Dad did the water look like that .. .. it was always murky and a dull browny green colour  LOL!!!

OK just time to link up and then give in for the day.  

I hope you have all had a good weekend and I wish you a good week.

Take care.

Love

Beryl said...

A lovely card Jules and I think you've coloured the image just right
Even though 'real' water is usually a mucky brown it looks much better with the optimistic viewpoint.

Totally brilliant Jules - love the colours and that image is adorable. As ever, a perfect card!

I did giggle about the fishing tale, it reminded me of one of my scariest experiences. As a kid, in Singapore, I used to go fishing with my Dad too. We went to a stocked lake - still have the fishing rod I think in the loft!

One day I got a catch and only hauled up the biggest prize in the lake - a mahoooosive lobster waving its claws at me. Screamed my head of, dropped the rod and RAN!! Dad did get it out though and our Amah went home that evening with a very nice lobster for the family. Never felt the same about fishing again - the look of astonishment on one of the hedgies faces probably sums it all up :)

Great to see you in the Playground!

Hugs, Di xx
