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.

BE MERRY

Hi Everyone

I hope you have had a good Wednesday .. .. lots of really weird snow storms here over the last couple of days.  Nice when you are warm and cosy indoors but not so good if you have to venture out into it.

It suddenly dawned on me rather late this evening that it is the last day of February and I haven't entered the Rudolph Days Challenge .. .. so I grabbed a few dies and created this using one of my favourite techiques "in laid dies":




This used:

Lawn Fawn Dies:  Scripty Merry, Scripty Be and String of Lights
Backing Papers:  Free with a magazine and begging to be used up
Glitter Card
Silver Metallic Card

and that is me for today.  At least that is one more Christmas card made early.  Just three behind where I should be at this stage!!

Better fly to enter the challenge or I will miss the deadline!

Wonderful card, Jules, This is a great die and I am also loving that sentiment die!

The pretty colours look so good here. Lucky to be able to use the magazine freebie for the back paper...now that is a bargain!

Thanks for taking part in the February Rudolph Days Challenge.

Awww Jules, what agreat card, I realised while away I’d missing Rudolph day as I didn’t get home till 1st here. Could’ve snuck on in probably because were so far ahead... but I was too weary getting ready for bed already.
Love these die inlaids, don’t think I’ve done that very often... if at all?

Had grand b’day and time with family friends etc, nice to be spoilt.
Hugs Shaz.x

A super card Jules, I love this technique as well and this is a perfect example - lovely colours. We have our first snow today and it's really coming down at the moment.
