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.

I FOUND IT!!! YAY!!

Hi Everyone

Guess what?

I found my missing stamp this morning .. .. and how much time have I wasted looking for it?  I am sure I could have made a new one out of a potato quicker!!  LOL!!!

But my brain just won't settle if I can't find something!  Aren't I daft?  (Don't all answer at once!!).

Oh .. where was it? 

Well .. .. .. it had managed to nestle itself between some pieces of card in a drawer.  It must have fallen in and had card put on top of it when my eyes weren't looking what my hands were doing !! Tee hee!!

So all is well again.  I can stop thinking about it .. .. and it has now been put where it "should be".

Now for tonight's share







This used:

Image:  Woodware Clear Stamps "JGCL529" Tipsy Tree
Sentiment: Hobby Art Clear Stamps "Christmas Greeting Set"
Backing Paper:  Papermania "Silent Night"   ... ... again LOL!!!
Martha Stewart Punch:  Valentine Lace
Josy Rose:  Nail Heads
Cuttlebug Die:  Snowflake
Vellum for the snowflake
Glimmer Mist:  Antique Brass
Diamond Stickles
Ribbon, brad and snowflake from the Stash Box

So as I am sure you have managed to work out I cut my snowflake out of vellum, sprayed it with the antique brass glimmer mist and dried it with my heat gun.  It does actually look much nicer than the pictures give it credit for.  The photograph just looks like I have spilt a bit of coffee on it!!  But at least you get the idea.

Next a date for your diary!

I'm glad you found it! It was probably in the last place you thought of to look in! Another lovely make, love the colours and the whimsy too, reminds me of American Folk Art. I was in my local stamp shop having a browse, when there, right in front of me, was that lovely sentiment from Stanpendous that you used a couple of days ago. Somehow it ended up in my basket! Cough, cough!

See you tomorrow in the snippet playground.

Hugs

I'm pleased you found your missing stamp. You made a lovely card! I remember you using this stamp to great effect last Christmas too. Perhaps its one I should buy! I did just buy that dragonfly stamp I admired so much (twice) and a bunch of other crafty supplies. I'm on a bit of a spending fest! Having such fun! Hugs, Lesley
