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.

WARM AND COSY

Hi Everyone

Flying in quickly today with a card for sharing in the Christmas Kickstart Challenge where the theme is "Winter Warmers".

Nothing says warm and cosy at Christmas than a lovely open fire, so teamed with a comfy sofa and a pretty Christmas tree what more could you want .. .. other than perhaps a little glass of sherry! LOL!!

This used:

Backing Papers:  First Edition Paper "Vintage Noel"
Corner Rounding Punch
Sheer Ribbon
My Trusty Sewing Machine
Crystal Glamour Dust on the Christmas tree that you can't see in the photograph.


and that is me for today.

Short and sweet as there is a lot on the "must do list" today before heading to Mum.

Your card truly captures the essence of a warm and cozy holiday setting. The combination of the open fire, comfy sofa, and beautifully decorated Christmas tree creates such an inviting atmosphere. The touch of shimmer on the tree must be stunning in person. A wonderful interpretation of the Winter Warmers theme.
