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.

SUNDAY SNIPPETS

Hi Everyone

Time for another festive make after my little break from Christmas yesterday .. .. .. .. ready for taking over to The Snippets Playground where we are encouraged to use up all those already part cut pieces of paper, card, ribbon etc .. .. .. basically whatever is left over from a previous crafty session I suppose.

I used some of the extra hour we gained here in the UK today to create this:

This used:

Dies, Image and Sentiment:  Stampin Up! "Hearts Come Home"
Snippets from Snippet Mountain
Corner Rounding Punch
My Trusty Sewing Machine
Crystal Glamour Dust

These were the snippets I started off with .. .. but I changed the grey star paper for another more greenish blue tone once I got going.   Not 100% sure where that came from originally .. .. may have been part of a Nitwit Collection.


The white die cut was already cut and waiting in the rather depleted Christmas die cut box, good job I have another box just for snowflakes!!!


So I am off to link up now, can't believe it is nearly November.  Soon be time for Miss Di, Sarn and Dudley to be preparing for the Christmas Nativity.  I am secretly hoping to be promoted to the "front end of the donkey" this year as I have been the back end for the last two years now!

Happy to bring my sewing machine along if there are any costume repairs needed.

Enjoy your extra long day everyone.

Oh Jules, this is lovely! 💕 I really like the little houses and the frosty colours you’ve used. It all goes together so beautifully and makes such a pretty Christmas card! ❤️
I also love how organised you always are with your crafty stash! It must make future cards much quicker to put together - I think you should do a show and tell in Miss Di's classroom 😁
Hope you are doing ok.
Love Eve xxx

A terrific festive make using up some of your snippets.
I'll mark you down for the FRONT end of the donkey this year then. Feel free to being the Trusty Sewing Machine to help with running repairs. Thanks for coming to play in the Snippets Playground. See you in the treehouse later. xxx
