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

Hi Everyone

Here at last!!

I hope you have had a lovely weekend.

I was so relieved when I woke up to hear heavy rain this morning as it put paid to lots of things.  No garden work, washing, window cleaning .. or even setting foot out of the front door!

Instead I was able to grab that crafty list and start on crossing a few things off it and prepare for a week where I know my feet won't be touching the ground!

Hubby is back at work tomorrow but the patio work is far from complete.  We are just going to have to chip away at it gradually now .. .. but the hardest part is done (hopefully).

I broke myself back into crafty mode gently by having a play with my snippets and came up with these ready for sharing at Pixie's Snippet Playground:





As always I am lazy on a Sunday and do not list my ingredients but if there is anything you would like to know then you only have to ask and I will try my best to answer.

So that is me for today.  Short and sweet.

Catch you again soon.

Love

Hi Jules, I think we must be the only folk in the country who can put a happy spin on rain ... it's just the perfect excuse to head for the craft room :) Both your cards are beautiful but I particularly like the curved die cut edge on the first. Hope you have a good week. Elizabeth xx
