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.

TWEET BIRTHDAY WISHES

Hi Everyone

How goes it?

I hope your weekend is going well.

I have been dabbling in lots of things today, dreading washing, weddings, birthdays, .. .. but for some reason nothing related to Christmas!!! Something wrong there!!  But never mind there are still lots of sleeps to go yet .. .. aren't there ?!?!?!? 

Quite a few birthday cards needed here so I made the first port of call the Sketch Saturday Challenge Blog .. .. .. to take some of the thinking out of things for me, and this is what I came up with:




This used:

Image:  Digistamp Boutique "Cute Singing Bird"
Sentiment:  Computer Generated using font Candy Buzz
Backing Papers:  First Edition Papers "J'adore
Spellbinder Nestabilities:  Classic Ovals and Scallop Ovals
Papermania Punch:  Daisy
X-Cut Punch:  Corner Rounder
Josy Rose:  Nail Heads
ProMarkers
Ribbon from the Stash Box

I am also sharing this with the Digistamp Boutique Challenge for December.

and here is the sketch I used .. .. in case you fancy playing along:


Time now for our Saturday supper .. .. hopefully catch you tomorrow with some snippet usage .. .. I didn't manage it last week :-(  

Serves me right for shooting off and entering three times the week before.   LOL!!

Enjoy your weekend!

Love
