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.

SEIZE THE BIRTHDAY CHALLENGE 276

Hi Everyone

Happy Monday .. .. I hope your week is off to a good start.

Here today with a card for the Seize the Birthday Challenge where you have the option of "anything goes" (as long as it has a birthday theme), or you can add the special "topping" and follow the option for this challenge of "kraft and another colour".

Being a big fan of kraft card I went for that option and created this:

Yep, it is that card design again .. .. .. the one I just can't stop making .. .. LOL!!!

This used:

Digital Sentiment:  LOTV "Stamp Block Sentiment"
Spellbinders Nestabilities: Circle and Scalloped Circle Dies
Card and Papers from Snippet Mountain
Ribbon
My Trusty Sewing Machine

Time is running out on this challenge so I had better run and link up fast .. .. ..



Have a good week, and many thanks for everyone's lovely comments on my previous post.

This design has endless possibilities in terms of colour choices and this 'krafty' version works perfectly for a manly card. Great choice of papers, loving the bowler and specs 😊

I wish I was picking winners for this challenge as this card is just wonderful, Jules! I wish I liked to sew as I just adore the look of stitching on a card. I certainly hope you join us again at Seize the Birthday as you do fabulous work.
