The At Christmas Give Your Heart jigsaw puzzle has a few extra delights to it. First it sends a strong message - what could be better than sharing love at Christmas by giving your heart! Second, it's got a shaped border. Third, it's on thick cork backing. Fourth, it has shaped whimsy cuts within the pieces and fifth, it by Artist Mary Engelbreit who's a pretty fun artwork displays! That's a lot going on in one puzzle. |

I did my usual sorting routine with this one. I sorted the colors as best I could into piles then did an additional color sort as I laid all the pieces out onto the foam board. The border went fairly quickly too. |
After completing the border I worked the red/cream stripe sections just beyond the border. That helped determine the position of the letters, Santa's sack of hearts and the large pink circle. I did the 'Give your heart' letters first, then just seemed to work my way upward through the Santa sack, little girl and then Santa. The yellow/black letters were last being a little tricky with the berries and black/white background.
The following 3 images share some close up images of the puzzle piece quality which was great on the face-up side however, being a previously loved puzzle, the cork board was peeling from the backs of a few pieces. |
The At Christmas Give Your Heart Jigsaw Puzzle has several cute cut whimsies which I find extra delightful and an added feature to the puzzle experience. This Ceaco is a 1994, ultra thick, unique die-cut cork board with a shaped border by Artist Mary Engelbreit. Her artwork is produced on many puzzles. I have also has the pleasure of assembling the 52-Card Pickup which is another wonderful shaped jigsaw puzzle and the Classic Cars, which is a wonderful old Green car by Jim Zuckerman at 100 pieces. There is a series of three Classic Cars. |
