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.

IF YOU HAVE PUT YOUR SUNGLASSES AWAY .. .. YOU MIGHT WANT TO GET THEM OUT AGAIN!!

Hi Everyone

Today it was my turn to post over on the Get Funky! Challenge blog where the theme has been "Zing into Spring"!!

The Challenge will end tomorrow evening so I thought I would post nice and early so that if you wanted to take part you still have all of today and tomorrow to get creating.

The only rule is that you have to have a Funky paper or "extra" on your project.

We realise that not everyone has Funky stash just yet so Anice has provided a lovely freebie paper that you can use.  You can find that here.

Here is my little inspiration piece.


For this I used:

Backing papers:  Funky Hand CD "Funky Seasons"
Sizzix Flower Die:  "654981" Daisies
Martha Stewart Punch:  Daisy
Woodware Punch:  Daisy
Josy Rose:  Nail Heads
Brad and Ribbon from the Stash Box

I hope that you like my little creation and that you get chance to play along with the theme.  You can win a download of your choice if you are chosen as the winner .. .. and all of the downloads are lush so you will be spoilt for choice (plus there is another one up and coming soon .. .. but I didn't tell you that!!  LOL!!).

Have a lovely day everyone.

The weather doesn't look quite so impressive today but we could actually do with a bit of rain to water in good and proper all the weed and feed my hubby has sprinkled over the lawns!!

Spring for us so far means dandelions!!  Perhaps I should have chosen another colour combo for my project LOL!!.

I see that someone has stolen all of my followers from my blog .. .. oh dear .. .. I hope you are all safe and haven't been abducted by aliens!!

Love

Hey there Jules! Yes, I've been away again! I'm getting pretty tired of travelling and missing out on my blog buddy commentary and then trying to catch up. How do you manage to make soooooooo many luuuuuuurvly cards soooooooooo often?!?!!
I have checked out them all and loved them all but with 70 blogs to catch up with and some DT stuff to do, I'm going to have to settle for one comment here today.
Thank you so much for responding to my last question. I'm ever so pleased that things are going so well for you.
If I wasn't already married, I'd be sure to make an order!!!
Big hugs, Lesley

Beautiful. I don't do pink on it's own much, but pink and green is great together. I can see you followers, but where your name usually is there is a grey square. Are you wearing your invisibility cloak?! x
