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.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Hi Everyone

I hope you are all having a lovely week .. .. and the sun has been shining for you.  Definitely a bright and pleasantly breezy one here today.  It would suit me fine if all of summer was like today.

It has been a busy time with Mum recently so not much crafting time (and not much posting/blog visiting either.. .. sorry) .. .. but I have managed to pull this little creation together slowly during a couple of  Mum's beauty sleep sessions. 

This creation felt like a jigsaw because I cut the framework and inserts out at home and then pieced everything together once at Mum's:

My creation used:

Framework Die:  Lawn Fawn Giant Outlined Happy Birthday - Portrait
Background Papers and Card:  All from Snippet Mountain including the little glitter bits which you might just be able to see.

As this has reduced my snippet mountain "just a very, very, tiny amount" I am taking it over to show the playmates over in the Snippets Playground Challenge.  Sadly I didn't take any pictures of my snippets beforehand though (bad move), but as I am only playing for fun I will hopefully be excused.

Enjoy the rest of the week.

That card is absolutely spectacular - a jig saw indeed. Well done for not losing any of the pieces in transit. Enjoy the lovely weather while it lasts.

WOW - this card is fabulous Jules.

Thanks for coming to play in the Snippets Playground. See you up in the treehouse shortly.
PS: You don't HAVE to show a picture of your snippets - so no problem. We only ask you to tell us what snippets were used! xxx
