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

Happy Sunday!

I hope you are all having a lovely weekend.

Shock horror .. .. I have had time to play with my snippets .. .. and not only that .. .. I have made a Christmas card with them!!! Yay!!  Another one in that very hungry box!  

My little app on my pad is saying it is only 182 sleeps until Christmas .. .. they are going to fly by!!

I has been so long since I made a snippet card I bet you all thought I had run out of them .. .. .. ..  as if.

So here we go




and as always on a Sunday I am super lazy and do not list my ingredients, but if anyone has any questions then please just ask away and I will do my best to answer.

So now I am going to wander over .. .. with my head hung in shame .. .. to Pixie's Snippets Playground.  

Plus .. .. shock horror this creation falls nicely on Rudolph Day (the 25th of each month) so I fall right for entering the Rudolph Day Challenge

I can't remember the last time I had chance to take part in either challenge so I am feeling quite chuffed today!

Thank you for all your lovely comments on my first attempts at using the Brother Scan N Cut .. .. early days but I am getting on OK with it.  Lots still to try but it is fun learning.  I am sure it does far more than I can imagine. 

I had to laugh some of the suggestions as to what I might do with all the extra time I am accumulating .. ..but you can rest assured it won't be any "unnecessary housework".  I will more than likely enjoy being able to say "yes" to more happy couples!  I hate it when I have to turn people away

OK then .. .. off to link up and I will catch you all again soon hopefully.

Enjoy the rest of the day.

SQUEAL! Who do I spy in the Playground then, yay! No lines or scrubbing floors with a toothbrush - it's just great to have you playing along.

And this card is absolutely adorable! The wee snowman is one of my favourite stamps ever and I love the paper piecing. Sweet sentiment as well.

I had spotted that you'd been blogging lately - only discovered this yesterday evening when I was too tired to leave a comment, spooky huh! The Scan N Cut sounds just the ticket to make life easier for you.

Huge hugs

Di xx

Pssst, I forgot to add - the sets of stitched dies that The Works sell are £6 for a set of eight!! xx

I LOVE this sweet snowman with his paper pieced scarf, Jules! And the tag with the perfect sentiment is the perfect accessory!

Hi Jules,
Happy Rudolf Days.
Your card is very lovely and such a super design.
Even more perfect is a Snippets make also.
That snow man is so cute.
Hope you are keeping well.
Have had my ScanNcut for 2 years and still find it hard to do everything I want to do with it.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.
