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.

HAPPY NEW HOME

Good Evening All

Here I am with a late post .. .. again!!!

I have spent the day with my little crafty pal "Helen" today. We have been making lots of lovely creations and as always Helen has managed to make double what I have made.

But she has now gone out for the evening to see her school friend in a local performance so in her absence I am trying to catch up and make a few creations to make my shelf look not quite so sparse LOL!!!

Here is one of my makes


This used:

Image: Crafty Individuals "CI-263"
Sentiment: Computer Generated
Backing Paper: Pink Petticoat
ProMarker (in the singular)
Ribbon from the stash box

It doesn't really show up too well on the photograph but I chose to just shade one element from each of the four pictures that make up this lovely stamp.

So my little play mate will be back home sometime between 9.30pm and 10.00pm .. .. just time for a few extra makes and a chinese take-away (I promise that Helen did eat before she went out .. .. fish fingers, mashed spuds and peas .. .. with tomato sauce!!).

It feels really strange having a little person about the home again .. .. .. but very, very nice!!!

Lots of crafting goodies have slowly made their way downstairs to the dining room table .. but needs must .. .. there is no way both of us would fit into my tiny craft pod!!

I dread to think what time we will be up in the morning. Helen has a whole list of things she wants us to do tomorrow. They are neatly written on her "to do list" .. .. and I have a feeling she won't want to go home until they are all crossed off. Bless!!
I hope everyone has enjoyed their day as much as I have.

Thank you for calling by.

Love Jules xx
