My photo
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 134

Hi Everyone

I hope your week has got off to a good start.  The sun shone here again today!!  Yay!!!

Part of my day included joining in with the Sketch and Stash Challenge for this fortnight:




This used:

Image:  Penny Black "1729K" Just Buzzin' By!
Sentiment:  Pink Petticoat (no longer available)
Backing Papers:  Docrafts "Forever Friends Kraft Notes"
Martha Stewart Punch:  Doily Lace
ProMarkers
Diamond Stickles
Buttons

As part of the challenge you have to use some either new or neglected stash .. .. and this time I went for neglected stash .. .. which are the little kraft photo-corners which I bought from Paperchase when we were staying in York last year.  They have sat on the side of my desk for months and months .. .. tut tut!!!

If you fancy playing along here is the sketch I followed.


Enjoy the rest of your evening everyone.

Love
