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.

FESTIVE FRIDAY

Hi Everyone

I hope you have had a good day in the run up to "yet another" weekend.  Where are the days and weeks disappearing to?

Today I decided that as my year is disappearing so very fast I need to make a start on a few Christmas makes to avoid the panic that November normally brings.

So today my crafty playtime began by me intending to make a fun Christmas card using a super cute digital image and this is what I made:

I loved my make so much that I decided to shrink it down and create a little teeny tiny one too

but not satisfied with stopping there I reduced it still further and made a little collection of matching Christmas gift tags .. .. .. that is the joy of a digital stamp.  It can be made as big or small as you would like it to be, and as this image has a transparent background I was able to print it onto Christmassy backing paper.



So these used:

Image:  Quirky Christmas Bird - Pixel Popsicles
Backing Paper:  Pink Petticoat (Sadly no longer trading)  
Snippet of holly paper from my Christmas snippet box (think it was from LOTV)
Sentiment:  Computer Generated
Corner Rounding Punch
Circle Die
WeRMemory Keepers Envelope Punch Board
Cuttlebug Embossing Folder
Stampin Up - tag topper punch
Ribbon
Hot Fix Nail Heads
My Trusty Sewing Machine

and that is me for today.  No linking to any challenges .. .. .. just made for the fun of adding to my Christmas stockbox.

Enjoy your weekend when it arrives.
