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.

PERFECTLY CAS

Hi Everyone

I hope have enjoyed another sunny day.

I am here today sharing a card I made for a challenge I stumbled across the other day called "Perfectly Cas".  The current challenge has a theme of "animals".

This style of card is something I admire greatly when I see other people's creations .. .. but when it comes to doing it myself I struggle "big time" to accept all the white space.

Even  my card today, now it is "supposedly" finished, isn't sitting comfortably with me .. .. .. just look at all that white space!!!  No patterned papers and no ribbon!  

But that is the idea of a challenge.  You challenge yourself to do something new and keep doing it until it becomes acceptable .. .. .. hopefully LOL!!!.  

Perhaps if I keep playing along I will work my way into the "comfort zone".

The challenge works on the rule of thirds .. .. .. but you will see that if you pop over and have a look for yourself .. .. .. and you will also see all the fabulous inspiration too.  




This used:

Image:  JMC Designs "Pippa"
Sentiment:  Computer Generated using font "Blackjack"
ProMarkers
Chalk (for those rosy cheeks)
X-Cut Palm Punch:  Small Daisy
Pearls
Glossy Accents
My Trusty Sewing Machine

and that is me for today. 

I'll catch you again soon.
