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.

SNIPPETS PLAYGROUND CHALLENGE #501

Hi Everyone

I hope you all had a lovely weekend and got to see some beautiful sunshine.  

It wasn't "hot" sunshine here but still beautiful to see in a lovely clear blue sky!  Let's hope it is a sign of things to come.

A play in my craft pod yesterday created a card for Challenge #501 over in the Snippets Playground. This challenge encourages us to use up papers and card that has been leftover from other projects.

I started out with an image which I coloured with ProMarkers and then grabbed a wallet of snippet papers which I knew would work beautifully alongside. 


Whenever I purchase a set of digital papers I print off the ones that appeal to me the most, and once used I store any leftovers in their own labelled wallet ready for the next time I want to use them, knowing everything will match beautifully without needing to search through my large collection of random snippets.  Anything in these type of wallets in my craftroom started life as an A4 printed sheet. 

Below is my finished offering .. .. ..
