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.

WHEELY SWEET FRIEND

Hi Everyone

Happy Monday!

I hope your week has got off to a good start.

I am back in the craft pod getting on with orders this week .. .. the kitchen and dining room are still pretty much "safe zones" and free from "most things crafty" (but nowhere is ever completely craft free) LOL!!.

My share for today uses the lovely sketch from over at Sketch N Stash




This used:

Image and Sentiment:  Pink Petticoat "Wheely Lovely"
Backing Papers:  First Edition Paper "New Leaf"
Cuttlebug:  Flower Die Set "37-1508"
X-Cut:  Flower Punch
My Trusty Sewing Machine
ProMarkers
Pearls from My Crafty Stash Box

and if you fancy playing along then this is the lovely sketch that was provided:


Now the second part of entering the challenge is to say whether you are using new or neglected stash on your creation .. .. well once again I have used both.

My new stash is the fabby new download from Liz at Pink Petticoat (though it was on offer for a day yesterday when I purchased it) and my neglected stash was the Cuttlebug flower die.  Not sure why it has been neglected because it makes lovely flowers.  Must make amends and use it more.

I have started making headway in my blogland catch-up.  If I haven't reached you yet then I will be there eventually.  I can't believe how much I have missed .. .. some blogs make me feel like I haven't visited for years they have been so busy.  

Enjoy your day everyone and I'll catch you again tomorrow .. .. for a Teeny, Tiny Tuesday creation!

Love

I love everything about this card, the cute image, pretty patterned paper and a great sketch.
I really think that I must try and use sketches more. I hardly ever do, but see some lovely cards made using them.
Thank you for visiting and following my blog.

I love this image Jules - totally adorable and the soft green is gorgeous.
I dare not leave any of my crafty things in rooms. If I mistakenly leave the door open my little furry friend with jump on my chair and pinch things off my desk. Yesterday it was one of my newly finished cards but managed to recover it before the teeth sank into it!!!
Enjoy the rest of your week.
Hugs Sharon. x
