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.

PENNY BLACK CHALLENGE 102

Hi Everyone

A bit of a struggle getting a decent picture today. My world either has too much sunshine or not enough!! How can that be?

I did take a few shots in the garden but even they were not that brilliant.

So I am afraid it has to be the best of a bad lot today!! Sorry!!

My creation is for the Penny Black Challenge where they would like to see "lots of dots" .. .. so here is my dotty creation.


This used:

Image: Penny Black "2072J" For You!!
Backing Papers: Funky Hand Dreams Come True CD
Nestabilities: Classic Scalloped Circles Large, Circles, and Large Deckled Rectangles
ProMarkers
Chalks
Josy Rose Nail Heads
Diamond Stickles
Cord from the stash box


I have had a good day today and got lots of creations lined up on top of my bookcases - a week full of days and creations like today will do me nicely!!

I hope you have all had a good day. Not quite so hot .. .. and likely to be even cooler over the next few days .. .. but no rain!! So it is watering cans at the ready!!!

Bit more gardening work in order so I am off there now. Hubby is bringing me back some compost for my tomato plants so need to be getting ready.

Thank you for calling by and I will catch you again tomorrow.

Love Jules xx

It's very very cute! I must take a leaf out of your book and get my chalks out a bit more. I don't tend to use them much.

Hi Jules, Love how the dots on the pressie match the background and as always those hedgies are so cute.

Watering on the agenda here too today - the pots and tubs were all wilting so had to get the can out.
