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.

SPECIAL WISHES

Hi Everyone

Well, I am starting to get a bit excited as I seem to be getting into a nice new routine crafting wise, and my craft pod is getting more organised in the process, which can only be a good thing.  

Hopefully soon I will say "that is it" and stop re-jigging things .. .. .. and perhaps then I might give myself a half decent chance of remembering where I have actually stored everything LOL!!!

So today it was time for Rectangular Sketch Two and this is what I came up with:


This used:

Flower die coloured with ProMarkers (unbranded)
Sentiment LOTV Digital Download "Simply Cute Sentiments"
Backing Papers:  Pink Petticoat (sadly no longer trading)
Circle Die
Hot Fix Nail Heads
My Trusty Sewing Machine

and Rectangular Sketch Two from my little sketch library which you will find at the top of my blog. 



I hope you managed to find a bit of crafting time too.

So good to hear you are getting some crafty time, and thanks for sharing your beautiful cards. I too am constantly organising……and then forgetting where I’ve put things….in that “safe” place 😂😂😂

Hi Jules,
I love your beautiful card - very fresh and cheerful! I love the idea of colouring in the die cut flowers to create shading - might have to pinch that one!!
My stitching is coming on but I have yet to attempt stitching around a circle- it probably won't end well!!
Oh how I miss Pink Petticoat :-( ....

If there is one thing that drives me potty is not being able to find something in my craft room. It usually results in me going in the next day and putting my hand right on it!! LOL!!
I'm so glad that you are getting into a craft time routine, although bang goes my piggy bank money!!
Hope you have a wonderful weekend.
Love and hugs
Eve xxx
