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.

BIRTHDAY CUPCAKES !!

Hi Everyone

How cold?!?!?!

No snow but boy has it been cold today.  Ice everywhere and not above zero all day. 

Still lots to do ahead of Christmas and I am nearly starting to wonder how I am going to fit it all in .. .. but of course Christmas happens whether you are ready or not .. .. and we always get by even though we are never ready LOL!!!

My lovely hubby went out and about today and got a few essentials and of course the much needed roll of sellotape.  Whilst he was out I managed a bit of crafting.  This is my favourite make of the day.





This used:

Image:  Crafthouse Press "K005" Cupcakes
Sentiment:  Woodware Clear Stamps "FRCL009" Must Have Retro Words
Backing Paper:  Funky Hand CD "Dreams Come True"
Woodware Punch:  Small Daisy
Josy Rose:  Nail Heads
ProMarkers
Glamour Dust
Diamond Stickles

I had my first two mincepies of Christmas today when we called on my Mum.  Yummy .. .. not a calorie in sight of course .. .. the same as there wouldn't be any in birthday cupcakes!!  LOL!!

So that is me for tonight.  Time to go and put the sellotape to good use and finish wrapping my Christmas parcels!!

Have a good evening everyone and take care in the ice and snow. 

Love
