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.

ALLSORTS CHALLENGE - WEEK 15

Hi Everyone

This week it is my turn to set the challenge over at Allsorts. This is a world first for me. I have never set a challenge before! (I can never say that again).

Please pop over and have a look at what I set as the challenge and why not even take part? You would be more than welcome and I would love to see what you create.

This was my DT inspiration card

This used :

Image: Penny Black 3377K "Whispers"
Sentiment: Docrafts "PMA 10097" (Some of the stamp was masked off)
Background Papers: Memory Store
Josy Rose Nail Heads
Gold embossing powder
Small gold beads
and the tiniest amount of Promarker ink


I paper pieced the image with some of the background paper.

The challenge involves working to a sketch and "tearing" your papers "somewhere" but full details are over on the Allsorts Challenge Blog.

I hope you all have a brilliant weekend and that you find time for a bit of crafting.

Love Jules xx
