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.

LAYERED OR FLAT FOR AS YOU LIKE IT

Hi Everyone

I hope your week has been going well.

Many thanks for the lovely wishes for Mum's birthday .. .. I started writing this post earlier today whilst I was with her, and can't believe that her birthday cards are still on display.  

Five days of birthday cards!   Must be a world record!  LOL!!!

It has all been very busy in the home of hearts and I feel like I am yet again meeting myself coming backwards.  But I have managed a bit of time in my little craft pod to chill and relax which has been super lovely and this is one of the creations I made.

This used:

Sentiment:  Computer Generated
Backing Papers:  Pink Petticoat (Sadly no longer trading)
ProMarkers
Corner Rounding Punch
Diamond Stickles for a bit of sparkle on the water .. .. but not showing up on the photograph
My Trusty Sewing Machine

I am taking this over to the "As You Like It" Challenge" where they would like to know what our favourite is:  Layered or Flat Cards (and why)?

No prizes for guessing that I love layered cards .. .. ..  mainly I think because I like to incorporate lots different layers so I can stitch them (but I do try to keep them postage friendly, unless the card is able to be given in person).  

Plus the layers help to reduce my mountain of paper and card snippets.

Enjoy the rest of the week .. .. .. where are all of these days disappearing to?
