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.

FREEBIE STAMP

Hi Everyone

Happy Sunday!!

I hope you are all having a lovely day.

I have spent some of my Sunday digging up weeds in the garden. How dirty and filthy did my hands get .. .. .. they were worse than when I get my distress inks out!!!

Still lots of scrubbing with the nail brush and I felt safe in touching my lovely craft goodies again. LOL!!

Today's share features an image that was free on the front of the Docrafts Creativity Magazine (Issue 22). I picked it up whilst away last week and think it makes for quite a nice card.

This used:

Image and Sentiment: Docrafts Born to Shop Bubbles Collection
Backing Papers: Dovecraft "Back to Basics"
Woodware: Circle Punches for scrunched flowers
Martha Stewart Punch: Frond
ProMarkers
Diamond Stickles
Brads and Cord from the stash box


My card makes me smile. We all know that money doesn't buy happiness .. .. .. but I must admit I am always pretty happy spending pennies in a craft shop!!!!

Enjoy what remains of your weekend.

Love Jules xx

I'm pleased you had a good break (in spite of the journey). I hate motorways even as a passenger - I have only actually driven on them probably 5 times in my whole life! A lovely card, Jules - great humour and fab colour work! Hugs to you, Lesley
