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.

I LIKE IT .. .. BUT WILL ANYONE ELSE?

Hi Everyone

I am a bit earlier tonight  .. .. .. we have visitors coming and need to be bathed, fed and watered by 7.30pm!!

So important things first .. .. up-date my blog LOL!!!

This is the card I have chosen to share today.  I really enjoyed making it but am not sure if it will be to everyone's taste.




This used:

Images:  My Paper World "Grasses and Embellishments"
Sentiment:  Computer Generated
Backing Papers:  Memory Stor
Fiskars Punch:  Threading Water
Sizzix Die:  Tattered Florals
Cuttlebug Folder:  Script
Josy Rose:  Nail Heads
Distress Inks
Embossing Powder .. .. various colours blended together
Ribbon, Cord, Feathers and Button from the Stash Box

So that is my share for today.

Off to the bath next!!

I hope I get time for some blog hopping later .. .. but if not then I apologise in advance and will catch you tomorrow.

There is a slight chance I might be on cake icing duty this evening.  A 70th birthday cake needs finishing off and my friend has injured her wrist and needs to wear a splint .. .. if the splint is still on tonight then my pinny goes on!!!

Oh dear!!!  Hope I can do her design justice!!!  (Lisa where are you?  I need you!!! LOL!!!).

Have a good evening everyone.

Love

I'm here Jules!!!!!! You'll do a great job I'm sure. Nothing to it really. Don't forget a piccy so we can all see it.
I love your card today. Well I love them everyday, but this is really striking. The middle of that flower looks just like melted chocolate, it's gorgeous and I love the feathers.
Enjoy your friends.
