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 ON A SATURDAY

Hi Everyone

Happy Saturday .. .. in fact happy Bank Holiday Saturday!  

A lovely long weekend .. .. a taste of what is to come when Mr Heart begins his new regime come October.  He is getting a bit excited about three day weekends becoming the norm!  I wonder why LOL!!

Yesterday I had a play with my new sketch and I decided it had better be another Christmas card (sorry) in an attempt to add to that hungry Christmas stock box.  I had intended to post last night, but sadly lack of time meant it didn't happen.

So here I am now instead: 




This used:

Sentiment:  Stampendous "CRH296" Cling Joyeux Noel
Backing Papers::  Kaisercraft "Frosted"
White Embossing Powder
Wooden embellishment heat embossed with white embossing powder
My Trusty Sewing Machine
Snowflake from the overflowing snowflake die-cut box
Ribbons and gems from my crafty stash box
Sketch Number Thirty Six from my sketch library which looks like this


Good timing though because I am able to enter this into the Rudolph Day Challenge for August.

Enjoy your weekend everyone .. .. the sun has made an appearance here already so let's hope it is here to stay for at least three days (but more if it can mange it would be good)!

Catch you again soon hopefully.

No need to apologise for showing this lovely Christmas card it is brilliant using your sketch. We all need to be thinking about making Christmas cards in good time - how awful it would be to actually be forced to BUY some!!! Enjoy your practise long weekend with Mr. Heart.
