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.

INVASION OF THE GNOMES

Hi Everyone

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

Gnomes are definitely the "in thing" this year and there are certainly some very cute ones around.  Not just as images or dies but as full scale Christmas decorations and also cute sewing projects.  I have to admit I love them!

A quick nip to Etsy saw lots of the little beauties and I decided to take some home to my download folder to play with this evening.

This is my first gnome creation:



This used:

Image:  ATArtDigital "Gnome for the Holidays"  (fantastic price too at the moment)
Sentiment:  Computer generated
Backing Papers:  Dovecraft "Christmas Basics"
Spellbinders:  Circles and Scalloped Circles
Crystal Glamour Dust
Nail Heads
White Gel Pen
Corner Rounding Punch
My Trusty Sewing Machine

The digital download has three gnome images, but I just fussy cut my favourite out at this stage.  I am sure the others will be making an appearance though.

My photographs were all playing up this evening so they are in a total different order to normal.  But at least they are there.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend everyone.  I wonder if tomorrow is going to be full of rain .. .. the same as today?

There are some great gnomes about and you've chosen well with this one - super card. Had some rain this morning but a little blue sky showing so fingers crossed it won't be as dismal and wet as yesterday.
