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.

MAKE A WISH

Hi Everyone

Well the weather hasn't been quite so bad today .. .. .. but the rain has just made a very sudden appearance and I have got well drenched dashing to the washing line to rescue the now "wet again" laundry!! LOL!!!

Just a quick share today using one of my favourite Penny Black stamps (have I perhaps said that before? I think I might have).

I used to have this image in a set of clear stamps from Penny Black but it is quite a bit smaller .. .. so small in fact that it has gone AWOL. No-doubt it will make an appearance one day somewhere strange .. .. along with a little acrylic heart stamp that has also disappeared.

So using the big version of the stamp here is my share of the day


and close up

This used:

Image: Penny Black: "1665K" Cheesecake party
Sentiment: Pink Petticoat
Backing Papers: Funky Hand CD "Dreams Come True"
Martha Stewart Punch: Traditional Scallop
X-Cut Punch: Small Flower
Josy Rose: Nail Heads
ProMarkers
Diamond Stickles
Cord from the stash box


So that is me for today.

I am just in the process of making up some wedding stationery samples and my better half has kindly volunteered to do the evening meal so I can crack on with them .. .. .. what a lucky sausage I am.

Have a great evening.

Love Jules xx

You definitely are a lucky Sausage, Jules, which is exactly what I've cooked and now eaten for my tea!!!
Lovely card as always and I've just got to say thank you for the tip about colouring your matting with a matching promarker. I think I may love you!!!! You've saved me a HUGE headache I always have with trying to match up colours. So simple but brilliant!!
Hugs Lisax

Mmmmmm what a scrumptious creation Jules, lovely colouring and those papers suit it so well. I like that image, so glad you told me about the size difference, as i'll try to get the wood mounted one, but for now it will have to go on my "one day I would like to buy" list. Haha yes I have one too.
Happy crafting

Oooo fabby, am loving the spots dinky flowers and i have a couple of images of this stamp and like you i much prefer the bigger version to the transparent one !!!!

Ah i have every sympathy with you and washing i put mine out the other day, to come home to find it was wetter than when i had put it out - hence the air was then blue !!!
