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.

SNIPPETS AND RUDOLPH DAY

Hi Everyone

Well I thought I wasn't going to make it today .. .. .. I have spent nearly all day on washing duties and magazine work.

I was determined to do all of both today and it has taken me well into the evening.

I decided I had better spend some time with hubby and came downstairs to spend time with him and guess what?!?!?  The football had started. 

Not much point even being in the same room really so I went back upstairs and had a quick play with my snippets so I could take part in Di's Crafty Snippet Challenge and also Sandra's Rudolph Day Challenge.

Now this month Sandra has been really tough and is asking for 6 of something.  Well no way did I have time to do six cards so it has had to be six gift tags (and very basic they are too .. .. but they used up the snippets and let's face it they will only end up in the bin come Christmas day!!  LOL!!).

So here are my little makes:



6 hearts for you to find tonight LOL!!!

If you see me again this week it will be a miracle.  A heavy wedding week is on the cards in the House of Hearts .. .. so it is a case of "I'll see you when I see you".

Take care everyone and have a good week.

Love

Ooh Jules . . . loving your tags. I particuarly like the way you've punched out elements from some of them. Super use of your snippets too. Found a heart on all but 1 of them!

Thanks for playing along with my "tough" challenge this month, especially when you're so busy.

Hoping you get through your busy week and aren't too frazzled at the end.

Hugs

Hi Jules...whoa I've missed so much, sorry I haven't been to visit in ages...life just got busy as you came off your blog break and is slowly calming down now!!
I've had a flick back through your cards and I love your mini series each week on a theme..yummy wedding cake and a very cute baby card in the number one slot :0)
Enjoyed seeing pictures of your sewing machine...they don't make them like they used too!!
These tags are gorgeous, Kraft is a great colour to use for Christmas :0)

P.S Mr Hearts bread looked very good :0)

I definitely wouldn't put any of these in the bin Jules - that would be sacrilege! You say they are basic - I say they are gorgeous. So much beautiful detail and lots of thought has gone into these little beauties. I love them!

Good luck with all those wedding cards - Hugs, Sylvia x
