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.

DON'T LOOK IF YOU DON'T LIKE CLOWNS

Hi Everyone

Just a mega, mega quick post .. .. .. .. but if you suffer from "coulrophobia" (fear of clowns) then go no further and I will see you another day (I hope).

Today has been a very busy day and my evening has been busy too. Lots of telephone catch-ups!!

Anyway, inbetween everything I have made the following "super quick card". This is another image I struggle to use - because it is so "busy" there is little you can do with regards backing papers and accessories without causing a visual disaster!!

So, here is my creation:

This used:

Image: "No idea". It is a stamp I bought years ago but there are no markings whatsoever on the wooden block. I trawled back on the site I got it from but it is no longer available from them so no clues there!
Nestabilities: Classic Scalloped Circles Large
ProMarkers
Shaped eyelets and heart from my stash

Not many ingredients at all.

I hope everyone's week is going well and thank you for taking the time to call by. I hope my clown didn't scare anyone - he does look a friendly little chappie!!

Love Jules xx

Evening Jules

He's a fab fun clown, just the colours a clown should be.

And do I see a touch of Promarker grey there ? Now which one would that be, warn, cool or icy ?

Have a good long weekend and get lots of crafty things done.

Jules, you are so funny!!! Like me had to make a quick post this time. Sometimes it takes forever to get all the info in there huh? Anyhow, I think you did a great job of coloring him. Sometimes where there are that many shapes, it makes it hard, like where do you start? You did great though and it is a "happy" card. Hugs, Dena
