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.

LUCKY DIP

Hi Playmates

It was lucky dip into the design pads today and out came a very, very old purchase from quite a few years ago.

I used it to make the following, but I am not sure now whether it is a card or something I would like to put into a box frame .. .. .. hence there being no sentiment on view


This used:

Papers:  Papermania Capsule Collection (Midnight Blush)
Heart Die:  BlueLans Cutting Die via Amazon
Spellbinders Circle and Scalloped Circle Dies
Memory Box Dies:  "98261" Kaleidoscope Butterfly and "98262" Moonlight Butterfly 
Ribbon
Hot Fix Nail Heads
My Trusty Sewing Machine

and  .. .. .. ..

Sketch No.3 from my square sketch library which you will find at the top of my blog.  (Feel free to use any of them if you would like to).



I have a feeling that I may have the same design pad in different colours .. .. might be good to mix and match them .. .. we will see.

Hope everyone has had a good day  -  it has been a bit cooler here today.

A super version of one of your lovely sketches using up a fair bit of this paper pad from the past - we don't see Papermania these days although I do still have some of their papers. Hugs x

Hi Jules,
what a very beautiful card and definitely frame worthy!!
Also what a very good idea to do a lucky dip on paper choice - cuts out a lot of decision making!!
Hope all is well with you and you manage some craft time soon.
Love and hugs
