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.

WONDERFUL

Hi Everyone

I hope your week is progressing well.

I am super happy to report that Mum seems back on track again after a worrying week or so  .. .. .. thankfully life is feeling more normal again and I have been able to visit my little craft pod a little more frequently.

This is one little creation I have put together which uses a "new to me" stamp set which I acquired from Ebay.  I bought it because I wanted the image I have used here .. .. but there are some other beauties in the set that will be getting an airing too.




This used:

Image:  Penny Black Clear Stamp Set "30-143" Joy to the World
Sentiment:  Digistamp Boutique (sadly no longer trading)
Backing Papers:  From Snippet Mountain
ProMarkers
Snowflakes: Memory Box Die "99031" Snowflake Heart
Crystal Glamour Dust (not that you can see it in the photographs)
My Trusty Sewing Machine


As everything but the card base has come from snippet mountain, I am running over to Pixie's Snippets Challenge where we are encouraged to use up any leftovers we may have.  Be these card, paper, fabric, ribbon .. .. in fact anything you can create something else from.

I really don't think I will ever see the back of my snippets as hard as I try .. .. .. ..  or even feel I have them under control .. .. .. .. but I am going to keep up the fight anyway.  

Enjoy the rest of your day everyone.

Glad to hear that your Mum is back on track now, after what I'm sure was a worrying time for you. Your card is beautiful, Jules. The image is adorable and I'm not surprised that you wanted to add it to your collection. However many snippets I use, my pile seems to multiply when I'm not looking. lol xx

Hi Jules,

Love the PB image, their hedgies are always the best. A gorgeous card.

We have been away for my son's wedding last Friday. We went down last Wednesday to a hotel near Littlehampton and came back last Monday, so now catching up. Also had a few days with my sister, that I haven't seen for 10 years!!

Glad to hear that your Mum is much better. Giving you more time to spend in your craft room.

Stay safe.
Love and hugs,
Carol xxxx

Such a gorgeous card Jules. I'm so glad to hear that your mum is better, not that will stop you worrying still. But at least you will be able to relax a little.

Oh now that is a little cutie . . . no wonder you bagged it from Ebay.

At least you've used some of your snippets pile up too and got a Christmas card ready for the big day.

There's a mug of hot chocolate liberally sprinkled with marshmallows with your name on it up in the Playground Treehouse. Come on over!

Hugs, Sarn xxx
