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

I hope you have had a lovely weekend.

A busy old few days here .. .. hence no posting for a bit .. .. but I certainly can't let Sunday pass by without sharing a snippet make for taking over to Di's Crafty Snippet Challenge.

We gained some much needed rain on our garden yesterday and once some of the flowers started to fill up with rain I decided I should cut a few and bring them into the house before they spoil.

I grabbed an old pair of kitchen scissors that I keep especially for the purpose and once finished and arranging the flowers in a vase my lovely hubby said .. .. you should have used the new cutters we bought .. .. and he swiftly produced a pack of two brand new secateurs. Nothing heavy duty.  One pair being the bog standard ones you would use for small twig type branches and the other were more like scissors for cutting flowers and soft stems.

Hubby opened the packet so they would be to hand for another day and whilst doing so he noticed the "Health and Safety Warning".

Whilst using them you need to wear SAFETY GOGGLES and A HARD HAT!!!  LOL!!!  What on earth is that all about?   I could hardly lop down a tree with them!!!

Anyway back to my snippet make for today:




As usual I am lazy on a Sunday and don't list my ingredients.

Off to link up now and I notice that there are already ten crafty playmates lurking round the playground .. .. what a popular place to play .. .. and so much inspiration too!

Enjoy what is left of your weekend.

Love

Hi there Jules.

What a lovely bright and cheerful card.

I would love to know how you get your stickles so darn straight?!!
You must use a ruler but I know if I did it there would be a splodge somewhere!!

Hope you have a lovely evening and a productive wedding week. xx

Fabulous card, Jules! great citrus colours

Beryl said...

Health and safety gone mad! I noticed on a jar of peanut butter some years back - Caution - may contain nuts. I should jolly well hope so.
Glad you found the time to share this fab card with us Jules. Oh for a birthday cake like that - dream on.
Beryl xx

MagsB said...

Another gorgeous card, Jules - I don't think I can resist the lovely Pink Petticoat Lola much longer! Well, at least my family likes cheap and nourishing soup, my standby when I've spent too much on crafty stuff lol!

Oh dear, those safety warnings made me laugh! Perhaps I should wear Goggles while trimming flower stems when doing arrangements at Church?! You never know, maybe one of the flowers will turn out to be a Triffid!!!

Have a good week! (Hopefully without Triffids!)

love Mags B x

Brilliant snippets card Jules, as always. Super zingy colours too. I'm curious, as Eve is, as to how you get such a perfectly straight line with Stickles.

And the hard hat and goggles had me laughing here too :)

Gorgeous card Jules, as other have already said crafters will be told to wear all the safety gear soon including gloves.
Do some firms not stop and look what's on their labels.
