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.

CRYSTAL WREATH

Hi Everyone

I hope you are all having a lovely weekend.

We have had some super good friends come to spend the weekend with us and have had a great time catching up. Our homes are hours apart so we sadly don't get to meet up as much as we would like but at least it makes it extra special when we do.

Once they left I decided I had better settle down to make a few Christmas cards as my friend "wiped me out" of every Christmas card I had in my "for sale" box .. .. my lovely Sis won't be impressed .. .. she was hoping for a load for the salon racks this week!!  LOL!!!  Looks like I will be having another super busy week this week!!

Anyway, here is my share for today:




This used:

Image:  Penny Black "3986J" Crystal Wreath
Sentiment:  Pink Petticoat "Snowy Days Sentiments"
WOW!! Opaque Embossing Powder:  "WL01SF" Bright White Super Fine
Josy Rose:  Gems
My Trusty Sewing Machine
Glamour Dust
Ribbon and Dimension Pads from my Stash Box

I am entering this into three challenges:

1.  Pixie's Snippet Playground Week 97 .. .. use up some of those pesky snippets

2.  Penny Black Saturday November Challenge  .. .. Sparklers .. .. as in sparkly and glittery Penny Black creations

3.  WOW!! November Challenge .. .. Christmas and Winter

and that is me for today.

Busy week ahead on the wedding and Christmas card front but hopefully I will find time to share a little of what I create at some stage.

Have a lovely week everyone.

Love

Good evening Jules,
Another stunning creation.
That's great you managed to sell so many cards, good for you.
It does create the need to make more though.
Cunning with the "heart" on this one!!
