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 SATURDAY

Hi Everyone

I hope you have all had a lovely Saturday.

It was beautiful weather here today .. .. I hope it was for you too!!

I spent some time this morning finalising a table plan design with a couple who are getting married two weeks today .. .. how lovely if the weather could be like today for them .. .. and then this afternoon I was super good and did an hour of digging and weeding with Mr Heart!  I do believe the sun has perhaps caught my face a little as it has a lovely healthy glow feeling to it this evening!!

Can you believe we could even smell a BBQ cooking somewhere nearby .. .. and to be honest it was nice enough to sit out and eat.  It made me feel a bit peckish!!  LOL!!

Anyway, I snatched another sketch today .. .. this time from the Sketch Saturday Challenge.




This used:

Image:  Stampendous! "P107" Agapanthus Cluster
Sentiment:  Docrafts  Happy Birthday in Papyrus (another very old stamp"
Backing Paper:  Pink Petticoat "Gingham" printed in black onto cream cardstock
X-Cut Punch:  Tiny Butterfly
Josy Rose:  Nail Heads
Diamond Stickles
Glamour Dust
Button and Ribbon from My Stash Box

and here is the sketch I used if you fancy playing along too.


Enjoy what is left of your evening and I'll catch you again tomorrow with my snippets.

Love
