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.

SNOWY THE SNOWMAN

Hi Everyone

I hope you are all enjoying your weekend. 

Busy one here .. ..  as per usual .. .. but I was determined to enter Fezziwig's Festive Frolics Challenge. 

This fortnight Hazel wants us to use our favourite festive stamps .. .. .. .. and if you love Christmas as much as I do then all of your festive stamps are favourites.  How on earth can you choose?

So in the end I went for one that ranks high on my list of favourites .. .. the wonderful Snowy who makes me smile every time I look at him!

Lots of masking on this one, but I am left with a lovely flat postage friendly Christmas card! 




This used:

Images:  Penny Black "2521K" Snowy and "4202L" Berry Red, Snow White
Distress Ink:  Speckled Egg
ProMarkers

Crystal Glamour Dust

I am a bit late entering this challenge, but if you fancy playing along with your favourite festive stamps there are still a couple of days left.

Catch you again soon .. .. enjoy the rest of the weekend.

I love the stamp that you've chosen to use for this card Jules. Like you I have lots of favourite Christmas stamps and would have found it hard to choose just one.
