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

Many thanks for your lovely comments on my previous post.  They are all greatly appreciated.

I was up bright and early today with my fingers itching to do some more creating, so before I left to be with Mum I managed to pull this card together for taking over to the Snippets Playground Challenge and now that I am home again I can write up my post and rush over to the playground.


This used:

Image:  Bouquet of Blooms - Julie Hickey "SKU JH1058"
Sentiment:  Spice of Life - Colorado Craft Co. "BB557"
Stamping on Butterfly:  Birthday Background Stamp - Julie Hickey "SKU JH1041"
ProMarkers
Distress Inks for the butterfly
Corner Rounding Punch
Butterfly Die Set "Wings of Elegance" Craft Addition UK
Crystal Glamour Dust for the butterfly wings .. .. but the camera hasn't really picked it up.
Small Diamond Gems
My Trusty Sewing Machine

and these were the snippets I grabbed to play with at the start of the day:


I hope that everyone has had a good weekend and if like me you have stacks of snippets that need using up why not grab them and play along.  The challenge is always a fun and a really friendly place to visit .. .. .. with lots of laughs along the way.

Take care everyone.
