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.

GET SKETCHY 183

Hi Everyone

I hope you are having a lovely weekend.

I feel a new craze happening here in the old House of Hearts .. .. dinky little cards!!!

Today I had great fun creating this little project which is a whole three and a half inches square LOL!!  I have rather a lot of these little card blanks as my card supplier puts them in as samples when I order card for my "happy couples".  

So I think it is time I put some of them to work and this is what I came up with today  .. .. using just one of them .. .. and quite a few of those pesky snippets that keep mounting up:




This used:

Backing Papers:  Dovecraft:  Curiosity Corner
Sentiment:  Pink Petticoat
My Favorite Things Die-namics:  Blueprints 12 and 14
My Trust Sewing Machine
Buttons and Twine from My Stash Box

then I decided a nice little envelope would look nice to go alongside it so using the We R Memory Keepers envelope board and a paper that came from Costco many years ago this was the finished project:


The sketch I used came from the My Favorite Things Blog Sketch Challenge so I am linking my creation up  .. .. .. .. just not sure whether it will count as an entry because I haven't actually done any stamping.  But my entry can always be deleted if necessary..

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



and that is me for today.

Catch you again tomorrow using up some more of my snippets.

Love
