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 Wednesday!

This week seems to be disappearing very quickly .. .. but at least the scheduled posts are working.  

Today my share is for entering into the Sketch N Stash Challenge where you are encouraged to follow a sketch as well as use either some "new" or "neglected" stash (and letting the world know which you used).

So here is my entry:




This used:

Image and Sentiment:  Woodware Clear Magic Stamps ""FRS131" 21st Birthday
Backing Papers:  Dovecraft "Sugar and Spice"
Woodware Punches:  Daisies
My Trusty Sewing Machine
Clear Embossing Powder for the numbers
Brads and Ribbon from My Crafty Stash Box

This fortnight you can choose from all the sketches in the catalogue and I chose Sketch No. 72 .. .. which looks like this:


As for my new/neglected stash .. .. well I have gone for the neglected option using another of those paper packs that have been hanging around for far too long.  I am nearly left with just the "strange ones" now LOL!!

I will link up later as I am still in scheduled post mode.

Have a good day everyone.

Love
