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.

CHRISTMAS WISHES

Hi Everyone

I hope you have had a good Monday .. ..  another wet day here!

My play this evening created my first Christmas card for October and this is for taking over to the Christmas Kickstart Challenge who have a theme this fortnight of "Festive Sweet Treats".

This is what I came up with:




This used:

Image:  Bugaboo Stamps "Candy Cane Mouse"
Sentiment:  Computer Generated using font "Impact Label"
Hobbycraft Mini Die - Holly
ProMarkers
Glossy Accents
Diamond Stickles

I created the background for the cute mouse using Serif Craft Artist 2.

Catch you again tomorrow with a little teeny, tiny make.
