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 - TIMES TWO

Hi Everyone

Stranger alert!!!

I hope you have all had a lovely weekend .. .. and that all the Dad's out there have had a super special day.

We have done our best to spoil Mr Heart .. .. and I think he has enjoyed his special day.  

Things have been super busy here - hence my absence from blogland for so long .. .. and hence the reason that I have two week's worth of snippet makes to catch up on.

I didn't get chance to play with my snippets last Sunday as our eldest Son and his wife came to stay for a couple of nights so he could take part in his first ever half marathon.  Gosh .. how on earth anyone can possibly run that far (and why they would even want to) is beyond me .. .. other than the fact that he was doing it to raise money for Motor Neurone Disease.  

Then once the London kids returned home (boo hoo) work in the old craft pod kicked in big time.  Lots and lots to be cracking on with!!

But I have had chance to play with my snippets this weekend and have come up with a few things to share:









and now all it needs is for me to link them up to Pixies's Snippet Playground Challenge before Sunday disappears and I end up having to list my ingredients LOL!!.

I don't know if it is just me or whether Mr Blogger has fallen out with me for not being around for a while .. .. but it has taken me nearly an hour to post this.  Hassle, hassle, hassle all the way!!!

Never mind.  Perhaps Mr Blogger will love me again tomorrow. 

Have a good week everyone and I'll catch you again soon.

Love

They are all fabulous Jules. Especially love our Fathers Day card and of course love the adorable hedgehogs.

FABULOUS cards Jules, each one is brilliant! What really struck me is how cleverly you used the MB Merry Christmas die - gosh I always learn something new from you!

Hugs, Di xx

Brenda said...

I know what you mean about disappearing Jules, I've done that myself! I hate it, but life just gets in the way at times. lol I love, love each card you have made!! That Father's Day card is amazing, well all your cards are amazing! I can't run to save my life-I'd have two black eyes if I even tried so I'm always impress with marathon runners and think they are awesome! Have a great week Jules! Hugs, Brenda

Cynthia said...

Great to see you back. Nice cards xx

Elizabeth said...

All gorgeous cards Jules. I especially like the Merry Christmas die - it's on my wish list now. And running! I so agree with you - even when I was sport mad I didn't like running, not just running, but for raising awareness of MND, that's a really good reason to run :) Hugs, Elizabeth xx

MaryH said...

Hi Jules, Sorry to have been MIA for a while, but trying to get back in the groove. Saw your card at The Playground, and gosh, didn't know what a treat I had in store, when I zipped over for a closer look. So many beautiful cards to enjoy, and I especially liked the way you've done the tree inlay on the MB Christmas die one (just got that die, a NBUS). Had fun finding all the sweet hearts, and what a marvelous tie tack #1 was. TFS & Hugs

Thank you for coming back with this array of gorgeousness, Jules!! All of these snippets cards are extraordinary! I just love those Christmas trees and think I'll have to break down and get them. Oh and that merry Christmas that's half off the card, and ...! Oh, my, what an enabling sport this is!!

From what I'm seeing around Blogland, there are big hassles everywhere again with posting and commenting. I just hate their perky "Whoops!" like "aren't so cute?" NO! It is NOT cute when you can't publish or comment!! Oh, sorry, I guess I have a little pent-up rage. I feel better now, thank you!

Enjoy your day - almost the weekend - but that's prolly when you're busiest, isn't it?! Hugs, Darnell

Sarn said...
