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.

SNOOKER CHAMP

Hi Everyone

Happy Saturday, happy weekend and happy February!!

Gosh the first month of 2014 gone already!!  Shock horror!!

Mr Heart arrived home safe and sound (albeit a little later than his Sat Nav predicted)  and even the sky was happy he was home this morning because we had lovely sunshine as we awoke!  It isn't so happy now though because it is throwing it down with rain .. again!!

Busy day today but I found time for a little play in my Digistamp Boutique download file and came up with this:




This used:

Image and snooker sentiment:  Digistamp Boutique "Snooker Henry"
Sentiment Circle:  Digistamp Boutique "A4 Birthday Sentiment Sheet" (can't find them in the store .. .. sorry)
Backing Papers:  Digistamp Boutique "Ditsy Rose Papers"
ProMarkers
Nestabilties:  Grand Squares, Classic Circle and Scalloped Circle
Pearls and a filed down and Promarkered kebab stick.

I know there aren't enough red balls in that snooker triangle .. .. but 15 looked rather a lot LOL!!!

I am going to enter this into the Digistamp Boutique Challenge for February.

Hope you have all had a good day and I wish you a happy Sunday tomorrow.  Let's hope we get a little bit more of that sunshine .. .. or preferably lots of sunshine to dry up some of these floods that seem to be causing so much chaos!

Love

Fantastic, now this is one card my Hubby would take an interest in, his only sporting activity and has hardly improved since day 1, 40 years ago lol.

Super card Jules, and even after spending many hours watching snooker with the EM I still couldn't tell you how many red balls there should be in the triangle :) Glad to see you DH got home and the sun shone especially for you both. Hugs. Elizabeth xx
