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.

HUBBY'S BIRTHDAY CARD

Hi there blog buddies

Crikey has it been cold today!!!

If the saying is true "that it is too cold to snow" then we won't be having any snow here for a while .. .. it has been bitter. 

It is the eve of hubby's birthday and I have just finished his card. 

Here it is for you to see  -  no way he will look at my blog and spoil his surprise as he is far too busy.  Friday night is the night he does our culinary delight of fish, chips, potato fritters and mushy peas .. .. yummy!!! 

I love Friday nights .. .. .. .. although he does make a lot of mess in the kitchen!!!  But I will forgive him because his food tastes great (and I haven't had to cook LOL!!). 

I have just thought .. .. this time next week it will be Christmas Eve .. .. .. the best day of Christmas!!!  Woo hoo!!!

Anyway, stop waffling woman and get showing this card LOL!!!






This used:

Image:  Magenta "96442" Buds and Flourishes (clear embossed)
Backing Paper:  Brown wrapping paper (no expense spared LOL!!)
Sentiment:  Computer generated using font "The King and Queen Font" (love this one)
Cuttlebug Die:  Heart (cannot find a name for it but they all nestle inside each other)
Clear Embossing Powder
Josy Rose:  Nail Heads
Paper crimper for adding texture to the gold card


Hopefully hubby will like it and be able to find the heart LOL!!!

The Christmas tree and all the decorations have made their way out of the roof space .. .. so we are one step nearer being spruced up for Christmas.  My lovely hubby was muttering something about "moving the furniture around" before we put the tree up .. .. so that should be interesting.  Not sure what he thinks will move where - but it will make for a good clean up.

Have a great evening everyone.

Stay warm and safe.

Love
