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.

HENRY MOUSE WITH HIS CHRISTMAS WREATH

Hi Everyone

Bright and early today as Christmas starts today in the House of Hearts.

My Auntie and Uncle always take us out for a lovely meal at the start of December as our Christmas present.  It is always wonderful and I look forward to tonight all year round!!!

We always say that this special meal is "The Start of Christmas".   

When we went last year the ground was thick with snow and it was snowing as were eating.  That was super magical.

So to mark the start of Christmas what better than a Christmas card




This used:

Image:  Henry Mouse with Christmas Wreath
Sentiment:  Cuddly Buddly
Backing Paper:  Nitwits
Nestabilities:  Classic Circles and Scalloped Circles
Martha Stewart Punch:  Traditional Scallop
Josy Rose:  Nail Heads
Glossy Accents (not that you can see it in the photograph)
Glamour Dust
Cord from the Stash Box

I have had this little image for probably three Christmas's now .. .. and this is the first time I have managed to make it look half decent  .. ..  so for being good I might give him another coat of ink before he goes back into his little storage box with his other brothers (all called Henry!!).  I do love him (and think I may have told you that before LOL!!).

Right time to go and find something decent to wear and make myself look presentable .. .. it takes longer every year!!

Now what did I wear last year?  Well if I can't remember I doubt anyone else will LOL!!!

Have a lovely evening and a great weekend everyone.

Love
