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.

BABY, BABY

Hi Everyone

A share of a baby card I have made today .. .. one of my favourite types of card to make (I have probably told you that before LOL!!!).

Whenever I make new baby cards I can always smell the delicate whiff of baby powder .. .. love that smell!!!

This little project used:

Image: Penny Black "1453C" Bear Blank 4
Image: Magenta "61700" Small Flower
Letters: Hero Arts "LL245" AL: Sunshine Upper Case
Backing Papers: Pink Petticoat
Go Kreate Die "120005" Concentrics Scalloped Squares
Nestabilities Classic Squares Large
ProMarkers
Cord from the stash box


I thought I was going to have an extra little piece of wildlife on the photograph today. This little bird was sitting on the ledge of my bay window peeping in at what I was doing.



With feathers all fluffy it sat there chirping away for ages. I think it was not long from the nest which is in a conifer hedge between ourselves and next door. We have seen the Mummy bird taking yukky goodies into the hedge for a while now.

The ledge sitter was calling for Mum who was hopping around on the ground and jumping up on my car to be nearer. She was chirping back in response.

I tried to get a photograph but it isn't that good as I had to take it through the glass (and my windows could probably do with a clean LOL!!!).

Not long after the baby bird flew in rather a clumsy fashion to a little fence not far away .. .. .. what a feeling that must be .. .. .. flying for the first time.

I used to be able to fly in my dreams .. .. but haven't done that for ages now!! I wonder what that means?!?!?

Catch you all again tomorrow folks. The weather forecast for the weekend sounds good so let's hope we are in for a treat. Hubby can then paint the fence panels .. .. and I can hopefully keep well out of his way LOL!!!

Thank you for calling by my little part of blogland.

Love Jules xx

I used to fly in my dreams too but haven't for ages. Must be because I need setting free again. We've also had extra wildlife to enjoy this past couple of days. Yesterday a baby woodpecker flew into the kitchen window but it recovered after I put it up on a hedge. He's still around today with his 2 other siblings as are a family of blue tits - all feeding right outside the kitchen window.
Love this baby card - I think gingham always does the job and this is such a pretty shade of yellow.

Lovely card ... I think gingham always works well on baby cards and yellow is one of my favourites. Thanks for your visit to my blog and the nice comments you left. The image you liked is available as part of a Papermania clear stamp set called 'Party Animal', it's one of three sets in the 'It's a Man's World' range.

We have had a lot of baby birds in our garden, so cute aren't they. Love the baby card, babies and gingham just seem to go together.
Have a great weekend Jules and I hope the weather's nice for your hubby to paint the fence and then you can craft.
Happy crafting
