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.

FRIDAY IS HERE AGAIN !!

Hi Everyone

I have a quick share .. .. that I had no idea what to call .. .. hence the title being a reminder that it is Friday .. .. just in case anyone didn't know LOL!!!

Here is my share:



and the close up


This used:

Image: Hero Arts "S5316" Silhouette Grass
Backing Papers: Papermania "Chatsworth Vintage Collection"
Sizzix Die: "656079" Flower Layers
Martha Stewart Punch: Frond
Embossing Powder: Stampendous! "Penny Copper"
Eyelets, Brad and Ribbons from the stash box


I had no idea how this card was going to turn out when I started .. .. but in my head it was going to be shades of blue and purple!!! Not sure what happened there?!?!?

I keep trying to make myself be brave and change the layout of my blog so that it is super-wide and fills my screen. Has anyone changed from my style of blog to the type I am describing? Was it easy? I am just paranoid that I am going to mess everything up and lose my blog and its contents. 

Have a lovely Friday evening and a great weekend everyone.

Love Jules xx

Lost the last comment I think Jules, Mr Blogger's really got a hissy fit on him today.

What I said was, I'm definately not colour blind and this is really yummy coppers and brown. Very nice indeed.

Love that stamp, so versatile.

Lovely card Jules, the embossing is very effective. Sorry can't help with the Blog layout, don't know how I managed to do mine in the first place so I wouldn't dream of trying to chnage things. Knowing my luck with Mr Blogger everything would probably dissapear. Take care.

Oooh, I know my birthdays not until next year but can I have this one early please, Lol!?! It's a beauty Jules and exactly the sort of colour and content I love.

I know how you feel about changing your blog. I wanted to change my background for ages but daren't do it and then one day the old one disappeared because it had been discontinued so I was forced into getting a new one and it was easy. Don't know about changing the layout completely though.

Hugs

Lynne K said...

Wow, gorgeous card! Love the colour scheme and the dotty BP. I've been resisting getting the grasses stamp, but having seen this, I think any more resistance would be futile! I could do a lot of resist with it! xx
