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.

HAPPY RUDOLPH DAY

Hi Everyone

I hope you have been having a good week.

Today's post was an easy one to schedule because I knew exactly what was going to be asked of me .. .. two Christmas cards for Sandra's Rudolph Day Challenge.

Ready nice and early so here we go:




These used:

Image and Sentiment:  Digistamp Boutique "Snowy Fun Set"
Backing Papers:  Pink Petticoat "Nordic Joy" and "Pinstripes"
Cuttlebug Embossing Folder (which I am struggling to find the name of but it might be "Snow Dots")
Sizzix Die:  "657003" Winter Wonderland (for the snowflake)
Glamour Dust
ProMarkers
Josy Rose:  Nail Heads
My Trusty Sewing Machine
Flat backed pearls from My Crafty Stash Box

I will link up later as I am in schedule mode .. .. but in the meantime have a great day!

Two more Christmas cards for the box.  The box is filling up nicely so I really must get some inserts put in them before that becomes a major task all of its own LOL!!

The weekend will be here before we know it!!  Have a good one!

Love

Now this card is too cute and so jolly Jules! I love that snowman, he is definitely jolly but oh so cute. Love how you colored him and love the sparkle and shine. Awesome paper too! I can't believe it is the 25th already. You had me looking at the calendar to validate that it is indeed the 25. How did that happen?!
Hugs, Brenda

Two more delightful cards. Pretty image and design!

I know what you mean about the inserts. I have been very naughty and have fallen by the wayside in my quest to finnish the insides when i make them. I need to take every evening for a week and finnish them all up! my Bad!

Di said...

Aw Jules, I adore these! That little happy chappy hasn't got a clue there's a thaw on the way, snigger! Oh, how evil was that of me :(

I did a marathon the other day putting inserts into 40+ Christmas cards - it's a bit soul destroying in one way but then sort of easier to have a production line going for a few at once if that makes sense.

Hope you're having a good weekend!

Hugs, Di xx
