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 N STASH

Hi Everyone

Happy Friday .. .. ..  I hope your week has been a good one.

Lots of lovely things crossed of my crafty list .. .. and lots more added too LOL!!

Plenty more birthday cards are needed here so I used the lovely sketch from over at Sketch N Stash to create this:




This used:

Image:  Papermania "PMA 10069" (a very old stamp and sadly no name on it)
Sentiment:  Computer Generated using font "Daniel"
Backing Paper:  Papermania Capsule Collection "Parisienne Blue" 
My Trusty Sewing Machine
Josy Rose:  Nail Heads
Nestabilities:  Classic Circle and Scalloped Circle
Crochet Flower (sadly not made by me), brad and ribbon from my Stash Box

Another part of the challenge is to say what new or neglected stash you have used.  Well for me it is the lovely, but neglected, Papermania rubber stamp which I purchased many, many years ago when my cardmaking journey was in its early days.  

If you fancy playing along with the challenge then here is the sketch I used:


You just need to stand on your head to see what I did with it LOL!!

Enjoy your Bank Holiday weekend everyone.  I hope the sun shines on you at some stage!

Love
