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.

SNOW ALERT!

Hi Playmates

Don't panic .. .. .. I haven't heard anything about a "snow alert" for those of us in the UK (or anywhere else to be honest) .. .. .. but it is the theme for the Christmas Kickstart Challenge and I have used this for my inspiration for today's Christmas project:


This used:

Image:  Christmas Deer Clipart from TheClipartStudioX (via Etsy)
Sentiment:  Computer Generated
Backing Paper:  Pink Petticoat (sadly no longer trading)
Thin Glitter Paper:  The Works
Glitter Ribbon
Corner Rounding Punch
My Trusty Sewing Machine
Snowflakes and stars from my Snowflake Box
Diamond Stickles

My Christmas projects are coming together slowly.

Have a good day everyone.

What a gorgeous image you've chosen for this lovely snowy card. Love to see snow in pictures or on cards but not so keen on the reality if we get loads of the real stuff 🙄. Hugs x

Your reindeer looks so majestic and noble in his wooly hat and scarf. I love the simple framing with the snowflakes too xx

Hi Jules,
that is one stunning card! I love the gorgeous image and is matched perfectly with the backing paper and snowflakes.
I hope you are on track with your Christmas card making and things have settled down with your mum.
