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.

BLASTS FROM THE PAST

Hi Playmates

I hope that you are all doing well and your week has got off to a good start for you.

I am on a mission to use up my old paper packs/pads that are taking up valuable space in my craft pod .. .. .. some of which only have a few pages left.  

My share today uses just one sheet from a very old paper pack and rectangular sketch one from my sketch library:


This used:

Backing Paper:  Papermania "Capsule Collection - Parisienne Blue"
Sentiment:  Unmounted Stamp Company "BD-FR-01 Word Frame" Circadesign.co.uk (very,very old)
Memory Box Dies:  "98261" Kaleidoscope Butterfly and "98262" Moonlight Butterfly
First Edition Craft "Nesting Stamp Dies"
Sizzix Thinlets Flower Dies - Tattered Florals:  661806
Ribbon
Hot fix Nailheads
My Trusty Sewing Machine

and Sketch One from my rectangular sketch library

So lots of old stash gathered together and used for this little creation and I think I have fallen in love with navy and gold as a colour combo.
