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.

SKETCH SATURDAY

Hi Everyone

I hope Thursday has been good to you.

It has gone very, very dark here as though the heavens are about to open .. .. so Mr Heart is rushing around with the lawn mower before it starts!!

So whilst he is occupied I thought I would do a quick post with my entry for this week's Sketch Saturday Challenge.  




This used:

Image:  Penny Black:  "4239K" Scented Message
Sentiment:  Lili of the Valley "Happy Circular Sentiments"
Backing Papers:  Docrafts Forever Friends "Kraft Notes"
My Trusty Sewing Machine
Distress Ink:  Tattered Rose
X-Cut Punch:  Small Flower
Josy Rose:  Nail Heads

and if you fancy playing along then here is the sketch I followed (definitely a keeper .. .. it was great to work with).


Before I go I would like to say a quick thank you for all your lovely comments on the little tutorial I did yesterday.  I am pleased it gave some people a little bit of inspiration.

Right, best go and see how the gardener is getting on before he notices I am not on kitchen duty!!

Catch you soon.

Love
