My photo
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.

SUNDAY SNIPPETS

Hi Everyone

Happy Sunday!

Absolutely throwing it down with rain here!!  I have a feeling the water butts are going to need some more water draining off again because we are collecting it faster than we need to use it at the moment!!

As my snippet makes are ready and waiting I thought an early appearance in Pixie's Snippet Playground Challenge would make a change!

So here are my makes:





Quite chuffed with them this week - but as always on a Sunday I am lazy and do not list my ingredients.

Hope you all have a great day.  Big football day here in the House of Hearts .. .. two of our local teams on TV in the playoffs!  So I am gathering my bits together for a ribbon tying and sticking session at the dining room table whilst the games are on in the background.

Catch you again tomorrow .. .. try and dodge the raindrops!!!

Love

Hi Jules!

Two fabulous cards here - and on a Sunday (early) too, wahoo!! Hope you weren't playing truant from other duties (such a 'heart spotting on people's cutting plates, still sniggering about that one!).

I just TOTALLY adore the 'squares' card, absolute perfection. The composition is beautiful and even your butterflies have little gold bodies - talk about patience! And the Christmas card is also stunning - you reminded me that I should use that stamp more often (err, am sure I bought it after seeing you use it first!!).

Enjoy the rest of your day!

Hugs, Di xx
