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.

WHAT A LOVELY DAY!!

Hi Everyone

Well what a wonderful day I have had .. .. .. it has been one of those very rare, and very special days that seems to go on for ever and ever .. .. ..  I have got so much done it is unbelievable.  Why can't every day be like today?

I have kept looking at the clock expecting it to be really late .. .. and even now I am dead excited that it isn't bed time yet!!

A couple of shares for you today.

These are Christmas Word Books made with the new downloads from Funky Hand .. .. .. you can find them here

Alongside the word book download come some lovely "alphabits" .. .. ..  and I used these for the words on my books.  I really love them and they are starting to appear on lots of things I am making at the moment.

Here are my little books.  This one is for putting special Christmas photographs into .. .. I wish I had made these when my boys were growing up .. .. I could have done one for each year and looked back at each year.

This uses the "Trendy" download.


The next one is for putting my favourite Christmas recipes in .. .. you notice I have only mentioned cakes and puds LOL!!!  This used the "Traditional" download.



So that is me for today.  I will be back bright and early tomorrow with my DT creation for Penny Black at Allsorts as we have another challenge kicking off.

Then Saturday .. .. which is National Cardmaking Day .. .. I will share my card for the new Get Funky! Challenge.

It seems a shame to cram them both onto one post.

Have a lovely evening everyone.  I hope you have all enjoyed your day as much as I have.

Love
