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 VALENTINE

Hi Everyone

Happy Valentine's Day .. .. whatever you are doing!!!

A mega quick share tonight as romance abounds in the House of Hearts .. .. ..  romantic dinner for two on the cards!!  (Hope I can stay awake as we were awake at 6 o'clock so we could exchange cards before hubby went off to work LOL!!)

Here is the valentine card I made for my hubby .. .. my very first black base card.









This used:

Backing Papers:  Hot Off the Press
Hearts and Love sentiment:  Elusive Images
Sentiment:  Computer Generated
Sizzix:  Heart Die
Cuttlebug Embossing Folder:  Music Notes
Josy Rose:  Nail Heads
Gold embossing powder
White Gel Pen
Ribbon from the Stash Box

So that is my share for today  .. .. I am back early in the morning as it is my turn to kick off the Get Funky! Challenge.  Can you believe it will be the Funky 15th again so soon .. .. .. but first a romantic 14th!!

Catch you tomorrow.

Love

Ooh, gorgeous! I love the way you've embossed the music on the heart. I bought that folder quite some time ago and went off it before I ever used it, but it is perfect used in this way. Must get it out again. Hope you have a wonderful evening. xx
