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 ON A FRIDAY

Hi Playmates

Well, Friday is here again .. .. these weeks are flying by very quickly aren't they.

Popping in today with a Christmas make that uses up a few more of those snippets of paper and card that we all squirrel away - which means I can run over to the Snippets Playground to see what everyone else has been doing with theirs, and also check the rota to see if I am on leaf sweeping duties this weekend!!!  I think this year we were hoping to dry them all out and use them for stuffing a huge Guy Fawkes ready for bonfire night. 


This used:

Pine Border Outline Die - Memory Box (probably one of my most used Christmas dies)
Sentiment Dies - Julie Hickey - Hazel's Christmas Sentiment Medley #3 Die Set
Circle Die
Corner Rounding Punch
Ribbon
Hot Fix Heart
My Trusty Sewing Machine

These are the snippets I started out with (the silver and green squares were already cut and lounging around in the "good to be used" box.  Whenever I cut into a fresh A4, A5 or 12x12 piece of card or design paper I always cut any remainder into the largest squares or rectangles I know I will use and stash them away in this box ready for using another time.  It also speeds up a cardmaking session if you have things that are cut and are ready as you start.

Enjoy your weekend when it arrives - and that extra hour if you are going to be putting your clocks back!  Always nice to have an extra hour .. .. .. just a shame it means it starts to get dark earlier.
