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.

HAPPY RUDOLPH DAY!

Hi Everyone

Another day has whizzed by in the blink of an eye .. .. I hope yours was a good one.

As today is the 25th of the month that means it is time for Sandra's Rudolph Day Challenge where she likes us to make "at least" two Christmas cards.  Such a strict headmistress but of course we will all be thanking her come December!

I was actually prepared and ready for taking part this month .. .. woo hoo!! .. .. and am trying to get some flat ones into my collection.  It doesn't take much to stop them travelling though that small "standard letter" gap does it?!?!?

So here are my "flat" .. .postal friendly makes:




These used:

Image:  Penny Black "4203K" Snowscape  (stamped just the once and cut in half)
Sentiment:  Computer Generated using font "Mr Sirloin BTN Rare"
Backing Paper:  Pink Petticoat "Jingle Bells Book Print"
Impression Obsession Dies "DIE100-F"
Josy Rose:  Nail Heads
Distress Inks:  Tumbled Glass and Milled Lavender
Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist:  Iridescent Gold
My Trust Sewing Machine
Diamond Stickles
Pinking Shears

and that is me for today.

Have a lovely evening everyone.

Catch you again soon.

Love

Princess Judy Palmer said...

Very lovely and rather flat so the postal officials should be happy with that and not charge you an arm and two legs. Love that stamp you used. I've not seen it before.
