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.

Hi Everyone

I hope you have had a really good week.

Mine has been brilliant because we got the news from the hospital yesterday that we have been waiting for .. .. .. for what has felt like an eternity, 

No more treatments, no more tests, no more injections, and no more oncology appointments for six months. Woo hoo!!!  I now just have to hope that my appetite returns and I start to significantly gain some weight .. .. .. otherwise I am back in 3 months.  

.. .. but for now I can return to where I am truly happy .. .. .. the amazing and super lovely subject of crafting and blogging, which is where I am always super happy.


This card used:

and rectangular sketch number seventeen which looks like this:

I hope you are all having a good weekend and manage to find a bit of crafting time .. .. .. and if anyone fancies having a play with one of my sketches then please feel free to do so.  You can find them all on the tab at the top of my blog.
