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.

EXTRA HOUR SUNDAY!

Hi Playmates

I hope everyone is enjoying that extra hour if you are in the UK and you did something you enjoyed with it. 

I was awake super early (so certainly didn't spend mine sleeping) - once my eyes open that is it, my busy brain kicks in and I hit the ground running.  I must be very annoying to live with but very thankfully Mr Heart continues to put up with me!!

Part of my day was definitely earmarked for hibernating in my craft pod for my crafty fix and to create something for taking over to the "As You Like It Challenge" where the theme this time is Ribbon or Twine and why?

I must admit I love twine and find it useful for those pesky men cards and for all those little tags I make for the charity shop to use .. .. .. but my favourite is definitely ribbon and after years of wedding stationery work I certainly have enough to keep me out of mischief for quite some time.  

Ribbon does pose a problem for cards that need posting so I tend to just keep the ribbon flat, and steer clear of ribbon bows unless I know the card is going to be hand delivered.

This used:

Image:  Penny Black "4268K" Crystal Drops
Sentiment:  A scribbly one that is part of the image stamp
Gold Embossing Powder
Distress Ink:  Peeled Paint
Hessian Type Ribbon with a twinkly gold pattern on it
Paper and card all from that "good to be used" box I told you about in my previous post
Hot Fix Heart that was silver originally but I have coloured it with a green ProMarker
Diamond and Gold Stickles that aren't showing up too well in the photograph

and that is me for this lovely Sunday!

I hope you have all enjoyed yours too.
