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.

GET FUNKY!

Hi there everyone

I hope you had a wonderful Valentine evening.

The House of Hearts was a romantic place to be .. .. but I can still smell the cooking from last night .. .. it was lovely at the time but not so attractive this morning!!  So all the windows and the back door is open and hopefully the fresh air will soon do its business.

Today it is my turn to launch the new challenge over at Get Funky!

My post is all done and scheduled and should be appearing anytime now .. .. if all has gone to plan!!!

Here is the creation I used to launch the month





This used:

All Patterned Papers:  Funky Hand CD "Craft the Year Away"
Sentiment:  Funky Hand "Our Betty" Stamps set "Love N That"
Martha Stewart Punch:  Embossed Zig Zag
Sizzix Dies:  "656640" Tattered Florals and "655217" Swirl
Brad, Ribbon and Gems from the Stash Box

Actually not all of the papers are from the CD.  The strip of hearts has actually been cut from the freebie paper that Anice has designed especially for the the challenge this month.

Tee hee .. .. .. as you might have guessed I am making the most of all the love that is around at the moment and asking that you "show us your heart".

I hope that you get chance to play along with us and Get Funky!  All the rules and the link to the free paper can be found on the challenge blog here.

Have a lovely day everyone.  As my post is nice and early today that should mean I can have a good old blog catch up tonight .. .. mega behind with my hopping!!!!

Love
