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 good Sunday.

I got up nice and early today in the hope of fitting lots in .. .. perhaps I should have got up even earlier as I still haven't done enough!

My latest "pre-loved" buy is something I bid for on Ebay .. . and it arrived yesterday and here it is:

A ZUTTER BIND-IT-ALL

I have lots of plans for this little beauty .. .. and for my first play used my snippets to make this



I have to admit to really struggling to make myself create a Christmas card today as there is so much other stuff I need to do .. .. I nearly didn't make one.. .. but I can't break a new year resolution so soon after making it can I?  So here we go:





As always on a Sunday I am lazy and don't list my ingredients but as you know you only have to ask and I will try to answer any questions.

Off now to share my makes in Pixie's Snippet Playground.

Enjoy what is left of your evening and I'll catch you again soon. 

Love

Your book looks fab...and the Xmas card is divine! I so love plaid and it is actually quite hard to find in our shops. Managed to find a bit of plaid ribbon the other day and thought that was quite the treat!
