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.

STAMP FAIRY CHALLENGE

Hi Everyone

Oh dear .. .. it wasn't until it started to go dark I realised how late it was getting.  Sorry about that folks!!

But never mind I am here now.

Well the tree that was next door is now just one big fat tree trunk sticking about 4' out of the ground.  I wonder what they are going to do with that?  I dread to think how far the roots have spread underground. 

You may remember I fell in love with a little bear over at The Stamp Fairy .. .. well I just had to have another few images because they are just so very, very cute!!  Better still the images are still on a 50% off sale (including new ones that have just been released).  I had perhaps best not look at those .. .. or should I ?   Mmmmm...  I will only be sorry later won't I if I don't?

Anyway, whilst over looking at the cute little characters I notice there was a Stamp Fairy Challenge .. .. so I decided to have a play along with this today.

The theme is "For the Girls - with a sentiment"

Here is my creation






This used:

Image:  The Stamp Fairy "Lenny - Flowers"
Sentiment:  Pink Petticoat
Backing Papers:  Aimee Asher
Nestabilities: Standard Circles Large, Classic Scalloped Circles Large, Large Square
Josy Rose:  Nail Heads
ProMarkers
Glamour Dust
Rik-Rak from the Stash Box


What a cute little chappie he is.  He could bring me a flower any day!!

OK - far too late with everything for my own good tonight.  You can tell my lovely Hubby is out at a meeting can't you?

I hope you have all had a lovely day and I will catch you again tomorrow.  Hopefully a bit earlier.

By the way .. ..  is anyone else having problems with spacing on their blog? Whenever I go into HTML mode and then back to compose mode I get extra spacing everywhere. It has been happening for about a week now and is a bit of a pain.

Love

It may be that your text is trying to justify itself when you switch modes, okay that's guess, just saying! Have a great evening:0) xxx

Cynthia said...

Ohhh, this card brought a smile to my face!! I love the bear's expression and the sparkly flower. SO cute!!

Carole Campanile said...

He is adorable Jules. I love how simply he is colored and I super love the sparkles in the flower. I found the heart, but it wasn't easy. I think my monitor distorts colors and might be set too bright; I'll have to have my son fix it.

I haven't noticed any spacing issues. But then I'm Blog User illiterate so it could be going all wonky and I'd never know. LOL

Hugs and enjoy your evening.

Hi Jules
This bear is so cute! It's a gorgeous card. I am resisting the temptation to go on their website, as I know I will spend too much if I do!
