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.

SKETCH AND STASH - CHALLENGE 130

Hi Everyone

Woo hoo!!!

Happy Friday .. .. the weekend is in touching distance!!

I hope you have all had a good day and the weather hasn't been too awful for you.  It was actually quite nice here today until tea-time and since then we have had constant rain :-(

I have had an order collected today (which means a bare area in the production line) and then made a small batch of cards for my lovely Sis to take to her salon .. .. and then decided I deserved a little play with my new stamp set which I bought with my Christmas money from my Mum.  I saw it on the WOW! Embossing Powder website .. .. and when a set sticks in your brain and won't leave it you know it is right for your collection.  Plus I thought the price was amazing for a whole set of stamp and sentiments!

So here we go, my new stamp set used for the Sketch and Stash Challenge:




This used:

Image and Sentiment:  "Stampset 2" Gratitude
Backing Papers:  Nitwits "FQB Petal Fresh Collection"
Distress Ink Pad:  Tumbled Glass
ProMarkers
Josy Rose:  Nail Heads
My Trusty Sewing Machine
ProMarkers
Glamour Dust

and if you fancy playing along then here is the sketch I followed.  I saw it over on lovely Debs' blog and just knew I would enjoy playing with it:


I wish you all a lovely rest of Friday evening and a great weekend.  (I can smell my fish and chips are about ready .. .. I love Friday's when I am spoilt and have my meal cooked for me .. .. but I don't enjoy the mess that is left behind . .. but you can't have everything in life can you!!  LOL!!!)

Love

I just knew you would sneak in after I had finished my commenting.
Fabulous clean and classy card and do you know you could add an extra item to your Wedding collections, a matching thank you card, for them to send for the presents. Yes I do know that you have enough to do with the other stationary that is required but it was just a thought.
Ok so I will probably never here from you again.

Have a great weekend.

Good afternoon Jules,
Another stunning creation. I am always amazed how you can make few ingredients into the most sunning cards.
Found the hearts no problem today!!!
