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.

NUMBER 26

Hi Eveyone

I hope you are well and your weekend has got off to a good start.  If not then I hope things improve for you smartish!!

It is time for this week's Christmas card so I am playing along with Dotty Jo's Christmas Kickstart Challenge where the theme for this fortnight is "S is for Snarky Christmas!".  I did scratch my head for a few days on this one .. .. but was determined to take part because I haven't missed a week yet since this new challenge began.

I do have to admit to not knowing what "snarky" actually meant .. .. but luckily Jo described it as a mix of sass, sarcasm and irreverence, seasoned with a pinch of humour.

So hopefully my effort will fit the bill in one form or another .. .. and here it is:




This used: 

Image:  Penny Black "3766J" Royal Mail
Sentiment:  Computer Generated using font "Chauncy"
Backing Papers:  The Lovely Studio "Snowberry"
ProMarkers
Chalk - for the background set with a fine mist of hairspray
Crystal Glamour Dust
Ribbon

and that is it - Christmas card number 26 dropped into the stock box!  Woo hoo!!

Catch you again soon.

Snarky AND beautiful! I love your card, Jules. Your attention to detail is so special - I would never have thought to colour the dots of the letter I, but it works so well. Thanks so much for playing at The Christmas Kickstart Challenge, Jo x
