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 SATURDAY

Hi Everyone

Happy Thursday .. .. I hope the day has been a good one for you.

Plenty achieved in the old House of Hearts today so I am well pleased (except that I now need to clear loads of stuff off our bed before we can get in it tonight LOL!!).

Here is my share for today which is for taking over to the Sketch Saturday Challenge where this week there is a choice of sketches to play with.

I made my choice (eventually) and then made this:




This used:

Image:  Penny Black "2178J" Hello Present (this is quite a new stamp to my collection and is fast becoming a favourite)
Sentiment:  Docrafts "MTY 906118" With Love (but I have covered a kiss up)
Backing Papers:  First Edition Paper "Blank Canvas"
Spellbinders Nestabilities:  Classic Circle and Scalloped Circle
Josy Rose:  Nail Heads
ProMarkers
My Trusty Sewing Machine
Ribbon from My Crafty Stash Box

The sketch I played along with is this one


but there are lots of others to choose from if you want to play along .. .. and there is still a bit of time to enter.

So that is me for today.

Best go and sort that bed next!!

Enjoy your evening.

Love

You know I always love this PB hedgehog, think it is probably my favorite of the PB (well, maybe that goofy goose might be right up there too). Love the way you've layered it up with the sketch, I'd say you've nailed that extremely well. Loved the stitching, the pretty pattern combinations and this was an easy one to spot the little heart! Cute. TFS & thanks for your sweet comment. Hugs
