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.

SNOWY THE SNOWMAN IS OUT OF STORAGE

Hi Everyone

I am back again with my next little Christmas make which is for taking over this time to the Penny Black Saturday Challenge where the current theme is to "use a die" (or there is always the option of "anything goes") - but your creation does need to include Penny Black goodies.

So I decided it was time for the lovely "Snowy" to come out of hibernation .. .. .. .. . he comes out early in the proceedings every year LOL!!  

Christmas stash always feels special because it doesn't get used as much as it should be for too many months of the year.  

So here we go:


This used:

Image:  Penny Black "Snowy" 2521K and corresponding die
Sentiment:  Unbranded sentiment die (no idea where it came from - it lives in my Christmas sentiment box unpackaged - the heart isn't part of the sentiment die)
Backing Paper:  Snippet from an old 12 x 12 design pad from The Works
Trees:  Unbranded dies from Temu
ProMarkers
My Trusty Sewing Machine

and that is me for today.

Enjoy your weekend when it arrives!

Always great when the box of Christmas crafting goodies gets opened. Love this adorable snowman - great choice of colours for such a happy chappie. Can hardly believe it's the weekend again already, enjoy 😊
