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.

LOVE IS THE MESSAGE

Hi Everyone

Awwww..... wasn't the wedding wonderful!!!

I don't think it matters if you are a fan of the Royal Family or not I can't image anyone not being touched by the lovely couple today. 

How beautiful and elegant the bride looked and how handsome the groom  .. .. and both clearly very much in love. 

I did think the ring wasn't going to go on Kate's finger though!!  It looked a bit of a tight squeeze!! and there were some very strange hats to be seen .. .. but  I loved watching .. .. starting around 10.00am and finishing once the couple had their two kisses and disappeared for their wedding breakfast.  I wonder what they had to eat and what song they chose for their first dance?

They have made me feel "super soppy" today (as opposed to my normal level of soppiness LOL!!).

So to celebrate the love that is in the air today I just had to make a romantic card and it just happens to fit nicely into the Penny Black Saturday Challenge where the theme is "Happily Ever After".

The challenge closes at midnight tonight so I am just in time!! 

Here is my creation:







This used:

Image:  Penny Black "4023K" Love is the Message
Backing Papers:  Pink Petticoat
Martha Stewart Punch:  Doily Lace
Adirondack "Lights" Pink Sherbet for distressing around the image
Crystal Stickles
Self Adhesive Pearls
Small white rosebuds coloured with ProMarker Pens
Ribbons from the Stash Box

So that is me for today.

Must get linked up before I am too late!!!!

Love
