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 your Sunday has been good.

Thank you for all your lovely comments yesterday .. .. particularly in relation to my lovely Sis's bags.  She will love reading them.

I have had a play with my snippets quickly today.. but not totally successfully.

Normally when you mention "gold dust" in my eyes it means something wonderful .. . but the gold dust on my card has been a nightmare.

No matter how many times I have brushed it with a soft make-up brush I can't get rid of all the spare "specks".  Perhaps I should have used a scrubbing brush and try to get the wole lot off!!

Just moving the card into another position seems to produce more!!  LOL!!!

Anyway, at least I have tried .. .. and this is what I came up with for using up some of those snippets and taking over to Pixie's Snippet Playground .. 




Wish I had used what I call "normal" Glamour Dust now!! Or even none at all LOL!!!

Enjoy the rest of your evening everyone.  Time for us to eat now but I'll catch you again tomorrow as I will need to make a card first thing to give to a friend tomorrow and I will be able to share that.

Not sure what I will make yet .. .. all I can say is there will be no "gold dust" on it that's for sure.

Love

I've never used gold dust Jules but I end up with glamour dust all over my face usually until one of the family tells me! You wouldn't know you'd gone to such pains with the dust as your card, as always, looks wonderful. Sarah x

I'm almost frightened to say 'what a gorgeous card' Jules, it looks fabulous - sorry to hear about the gold issues though.

It's absolutely stunning Jules! Gorgeous rich colours and I love the gold - I know that Glamour Dust do a gold version, and silver too I think although I only have the gold. Does this mean I need to avoid it?!

And am STILL looking for the heart, sigh, Can't do me usual handstands here to check for sneakily hidden one(s).

Hugs, Di xx

Your card looks lovely Jules gold dust an all. The problem I have is where is the heart? Under a pile of gold dust maybe!
Hugs Mrs A.

Falling glitter dust is lucky I hear! Sort of like leprechan lucky! lol

This card is wonderful...love the colours and the way you tied in the glitter dots with the glitter on your image!

Of course we got ti too...so finally well now and need a good long catch up on your blog...
