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.

CHRISTMAS KICKSTART CHALLENGE 104

Hi Everyone

Surprise, surprise .. .. yet another Christmas card offering. 

Crafting sessions seem very rare at the moment, so when they do arise I tend to concentrate on festive makes, and I was so happy with the finished result from my tiny craft session yesterday that I have prepped ready for making another five identical cards. 

My inspiration was the Christmas Kickstart Challenge where the theme is "just add antlers".


This used:

Image:  Santa Reindeer Clipart - Velvet Clipart Dreams
Sentiment:  Computer Generated
Backing Paper - The Works (from one of last years design pads)
Corner Rounding Punch
My Trusty Sewing Machine

and that is me for today.

Many thanks for all your well wishes for Mum .. .. .. she is still needing lots of help and that will only get worse .. .. .. hence the huge reduction in crafty time.  Crafting will always be there though but my Mum won't, so I have to make the most of what time I have left with her and give her whatever help and support I can.  

Dementia has a lot to answer for and certainly requires a lot of patience and understanding .. .. thank goodness I was blessed with an abundance of both!  But the good thing is Mum doesn't think there is anything wrong with her.  Bless .. .. if only that could be true.
