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.

PLAY DAY

Hi Everyone

I hope your Saturday has been lovely.

I have had chance to play with some of my new goodies (as well as get rid of some of the holiday washing).

Here is my share for today:

This used:

Image: Papermania "9072100" Hampstead Collection Sketch Flower
Backing Paper: Papermania "1603100" Hampstead
Sentiment: Papermania "9073002" Stamping for Him
Nestabilities: Classic Square
Go Kreate Die: Scalloped Squares
ProMarkers
Diamond Stickles
Lace from the stash box
Home made card candy using the Papermania papers

I made the card candy by punching out circles and placing them pattern side down on the reverse side of a mouse mat. I then rubbed the back of them in a circular motion with a ball tool until they became cupped enough to fill them with silicone gel and stick then onto my card.

Lots to catch up on now I am home again. I managed some visiting but still have lots to do .. .. how busy everyone has been whilst I was away.

One exciting piece of news I need to share is that whilst I was away Anice from Funky Hand put a shout out for some more Design Team Members to join our happy gang.



NEW FUNKY HAND DESIGN TEAM MEMBERS
If you want to read more about what this involves then pop over to Anice here .. .. .. she is waiting to hear from you and see your creations. I promise you that you will not find a nicer group of ladies anywhere!

Love Jules xx

Hi Jules! Love the papers you've used on this card and the image is just perfect with them. Gorgeous colour combo too. Thanks for your comments on my blog. It's been a tough few months but we feel at least we have a little respite at the mo before Mum starts her chemo. I really appreciate your support x
