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.

THE CHRISTMAS HOLIDAY IS DISAPPEARING!!

Hi Everyone

I cannot believe that tomorrow will be New Year's Eve .. .. .. where has the lazy Christmas break gone?

Well .. .. yes, I have been a bit lazy, but I thought the break was going to last for ages and that I was going to get lots done .. .. including some watching of films etc.  Can you believe I haven't watched one film all holiday!!  In fact the only programme that I can say I have watched properly all holiday is the Royle Family from Christmas Day.

I managed a bit of crafting today though which was nice.

Here is my favourite make of the day






This used:

Image:  Penny Black "3811J" Winsome
Backing Papers:  "Lilac Bouquet Paper Pack" downloaded from Aimee Asher
Martha Stewart Punch:  Doily Lace
Woodware Punches:  Daisy
Josy Rose:  Acrylic Domes
ProMarkers
Diamond Stickles
Glamour Dust
Thread from the Stash Box

I have had a few emails asking about the "nail heads" and bits I use from Josy Rose so I have done a link on the Acrylic Domes I have used today .. .. from there you will find the nail heads under "studs and nail heads" on the left hand side and also gorgeous gems and ribbons.  (But beware .. .. the prices are just amazing and you might need a few pennies .. .. .. though you do get loads for just a few pennies).

So that is me for today.

I hope you have all had a lovely day and I will catch you all again tomorrow.

Love

A fabulous card. I love the papers - just the sort of colours and designs I adore and those acryilic domes look to be a must have. A beautiful design and layout.
Hope you have a very Happy New Year.

Wow a gorgeous card as always, I can't believe you use Aimee Asher.we do seem to pick the same digi papers although I don't have this one but I do have a lot from there. I am always downloading digi papers.

Getting waited on by the way for one day is easy just refuse to work Christmas day.

Have a nice evening Jules.xxx

Beautiful card, Jules! I too am wondering where the holiday is going, as planning for work is calling and I haven't had a play with all my new stuff yet! We will have to meet up for tea, cake and a chat at that garden centre one day. Happy new year my friend!

Hi Jules, very beautiful card and I love the gorgeous papers you've used. Can't believe the hols are nearly over either, we'll have to make the most of whats left. I loved the Royle family episode, especially the dyson bit.
