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.

AS YOU LIKE IT CHALLENGE - YOUR FAVOURITE DIE

Hi Playmates

I hope you are all enjoying your weekend as much as I am.

Yesterday I spent quite a bit of time in my little craft pod .. .. .. .. I can't remember the last time I was able to be in there for so long .. .. and I had great fun. 

One of the creations I made was for taking over to the As You Like It Challenge where they would like to know what your favourite die is .. .. and why?  

Quite a hard one really because I have so many favourites, but at this point in time it just has to be the butterfly on the card below (although the butterfly is made up of two die sets that marry together).  Hope that is allowed.

This used:

Image:  DigiStamp Boutique (another big favourite that is no longer trading)
Backing Papers:  Snippets from The Works and Pink Petticoat (again no longer trading)
Memory Box Dies:  Kaleidoscope Butterfly and Moonlight Butterfly
Corner Rounding Punch
Ribbon
My Trusty Sewing Machine

So now to answer why I have chosen this as my favourite.

Well a few weeks ago I lost these dies and I had been looking all over the place for them, and even reached the stage where I thought I might have to look if anywhere was still selling them.  I began to think I had perhaps left them at a place we spent a long weekend at a few months ago.

But then thankfully this week I found them .. .. quite by accident .. .. they were in a tiny little tin packed in a box that I sometimes use for taking things to Mum's.  I often take little die sets, (especially those that need layering), along with my tiny Sizzix Sidekick die cutting machine - perfect for having a little cutting/assembly session on a lap tray.  Mum loves to see multicoloured butterflies finished and all lined up ready for take off.  LOL!!
