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.

MAKE IT SEW!

Hi Everyone

I hope you have all recovered from the Easter "sugar rush" and life is being kind to you. 

I am happy to say I have managed a bit of crafting this week .. .. which is always a lovely bonus for me.

Last night whilst having a little womble around blogland I saw that the challenge over at "Little Red Wagon" was entitled "Make it Sew" .. .. which meant they would like to see sewing featuring on your creation .. .. .. which can be "real or fake, a stitch effect die, or sewing as the theme in general".

Being an avid machinist on my cards anyway I obviously went for "real sewing" along with one of my favourite style of cards to make .. .. mainly because I just love rummaging through and mixing up my paper snippets and of course sewing.  


This used:

Snippets of paper and card
Spellbinder Circle and Scalloped Circle Dies
Lili of the Valley Digital Block Sentiment Set
Ribbon
My Trusty Sewing Machine

and that is me for today.

Enjoy the rest of the week.
