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.

BEE HAPPY !!!

Hi Everyone

I hope you all had a great weekend.

I survived my gardening exploits quite well with the only reminder (apart from an improved garden) being those tiny little bits of thorns etc that get under your skin .. .. you can't see them .. .. but you can feel them when you put pressure on your fingers.

I've had a bit of a delve with a needle in a couple of places but getting no-where .. .. I'm sure they will just work their way out .. .. but they are very annoying!!!

Today is a really gorgeous day. One of those that makes you want to do "everything". So I have got a lovely line full of washing out .. .. including the dining room curtains that haven't seen the washing line since I don't know when!!! I know I will regret having gone so mad later on .. .. but the damage is done now!! LOL!!!

I have been busy creating whilst Mother Nature and my washing machine have been working their miracles and this is one of my "makes"


and the close up. The stray glamour dust looks like sparkly pollen stuck on the bees LOL!!!



This used:

Image: Stamps Happen Inc "60058" Bees
Sentiment: Hero Arts "LL245" Sunshine Uppercase Alphabet
Backing Papers: Memory Stor
Woodware Flower Punches
Josy Rose: Gems
ProMarkers
Glamour Dust
Diamond Stickles
Brads from the stash box

The little alphabet set are just individual letters for stamping out your own sentiment .. .. there is no way you could ever get it all perfectly lined up .. .. but I think that is part of its attraction.

OK - the washer has finished "again" .. .. off for another "peg out" before I start another creation.

Enjoy your Monday.

Love Jules xx

Super card Jules, how could anyone not be lifted by this card, I sure am!

Soaking in water, you know until you look like a prune, should make the retrieving of thorns easier! Plus of course a nice soak after such a busy weekend will also be rather lovely anyway!

What a very productive time youve had, I bet your garden looks fab!

Love this card Jules, i;ve got this stamp and you've inspired me to dust it off and ink it up.The gems look great and i think the writing looks best when it's a bit wonky as it looks more funky. Di.xx
