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.

FAVOURITE SCHEDULED SHARE

Hi Everyone

Well if all my scheduled posts have gone to plan today should share with you my last .. .. and favourite .. .. .. of the makes I trusted to the safe hands of my good friend Mr Blogger (I am hoping flattery is going to get me everywhere here LOL!!).
This used:

Backing Papers: Funky Hand
Image: Paper Artsy "HP1004EZ"
Nestabilities: Scalloped Circle and Circle
Glamour dust
Ribbon and charm from the stash box


I stamped the image onto the backing paper and then re-inked and stamped twice on scrap paper before stamping again on my backing paper to try and give a shadowed and mystical look to my creation - the edges were highlighted with a pink stamp pad and blending foam.

I then added just a tiny amount of glamour dust.

I know that black on cards isn't to everyone's taste but I am really pleased with this one but it doesn't look as magical here as it does in real life.

My evening today involves a romantic dinner for two. We will have changed our accommodation from a cheap and cheerful Premier Inn to a lovely romantic looking hotel for our last day/evening with a special evening meal to mark the end of our "special time away".

Tomorrow we will be travelling home again .. .. .. but not until we have tried to fit a full English breakfast in!!! LOL!!!

Catch you from the house of hearts when we get home.

Love Jules xx

Hi Jules, I thought I had commented on this fabulous card but I remember now Mr Blogger didn't behave himself completely because he wouldn't load the comments page for me.

Anyway, it is a gorgeous card and quite dramatic. Love the PaperArtsy images (I've got them too) and you've used them beautifully.

Hugs
Lesley Xx
