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.

TIME FOR A SHARE

Good morning everyone

At last .. .. a share.

I was going to show you a little creation yesterday before I sped off to work .. .. but guess which silly billy left her camera switched on last time she used it!!!! Oh .. .. that would be me!! So no photo shoot possible !!!

So a charge up of a very flat battery and here we are.

This little make is for my lovely niece who has a birthday next week .. .. but I know she won't spy it on my blog .. .. .. she has far too much to do as she is in her final year of training to become a teacher (brave girl).

Here is my creation:

This used:

Backing papers: Funky Hand CD "Dreams Come True"
Image: Charmed Cards - Digi Download "Holly and Madison"
Sentiment: Pink Petticoat
Promarkers
Josy Rose Nail Head
Diamond Stickles
Ribbon, flower and brad from the stash box


Whilst mentioning Funky Hand - don't forget their month challenge which you can find here. The only rule is that you have to use at least one Funky paper or digi image on your creation (and there is a freebie download available if you haven't yet encountered the loveliness that is Funky Hand).

There should be no problem in finding the heart today - it needed to be a big shiny one today for Manth (because she is special).

However, my last card gave Tracy some headaches - sorry Tracy. The heart was here:

By the way the Father's Day card I showed this heart on wasn't one for me to send. I had been requested a few cards for this special day already .. .. bright and early .. .. so some people are getting organised .. .. but not me LOL!!!

This week I have received a beautiful card from my bloggy pal Jacee. Jacee won my surprise blog anniversary prize and she has sent me the most wonderful card to say thank you - featuring her prize. Thank you Jacee I will keep it for always.

I am waiting for a really beautiful day so that I can take a photograph of it to show everyone. It will also feature on a day that I am not showing anything of my own as Jacee's card will put mine to shame. If you get chance to pop over to Jacee's blog you are in for a real treat. She has some gorgeous creations on there.

So it is work for me today ahead of a weekend that involves my eldest son and his wife coming for three days from London. I can't wait to see them again. Lots of activity on the cards (once I have had my fill of tight squeezy hugs and kisses) - an Indian meal out on Saturday night, Alice in Wonderland in 3D on Sunday and Jethro Tull in concert on Monday evening. I have a feeling I am going to be worn out come work again on Tuesday. LOL!!!!

I will catch you all again soon.

Love Jules xx
