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.

Well done on your top 3, Jules. I'm not surprised!!
This is gorgeous. I may have to have a go at that sketch myself. I have spent all day messing about with Christmas cards, in between making cups of coffee for the gas men digging a big hole in our drive, don't ask, at the minute we have no gas so no hot water, heating or cooker!!!!!!, anyway back to the cards, and not got very far. Nothing flowed. I think it was just one of those days. This sketch may get me going again.
Hugs Lisax
