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.

HAS ANYONE MELTED?

Hi Everyone

Phew another hot day!!  Though the sun did disappear and we gained a few quick rain showers during the afternoon.

It has gone very dull again now so I wonder if we are in for a nice storm.  At least it will clear the air.

I must admit to having gone a bit mad on the washing front today.  I had one of those days where you want to wash everything in sight LOL!!  Of course you know what that means .. .. a mountain of ironing!!

Anyway ......

A quick share today that features the new digi download from Funky Hand .. .. "Tea's Up!"  Such a scrummy download.  I love the colours in this very much.  Please pop over and see the full range of papers and examples because there are some gorgeous teacups and kettles in the set.






This used:

Backing Papers:  Funky Hand Download "Tea's Up!"
Sentiment:  Made from the letters included in the Tea's Up! Download
Martha Stewart Punch:  Doily Lace
Sizzix Flower Die: "654981"
DaisiesMy trusty sewing machineRibbon,
Rik-Rak and button from the stash box


So off to get the bedroom curtains back up that I washed today!!!  This is the point when you wished you hadn't been quite so hyper-active during the day LOL!!!

Have a lovely evening everyone.

Love

Hi Jules

Yes I'm melting!! so hot - but we are never happy are we with the weather! The rain has just started and then stopped! Looking forward to the downpour so that it cools us down! You did make me laugh with the washing front why do we do that! It is lovely to get it all done but like you say the ironing pile....ggrrrr.

Gorgeous card BTW!

Anyway hope you are well. Speak soon.

Hugs

Hi Jules, well I almost melted 'cos it was really muggy here today. It looked as if a down pour was going to happen but it never did. I love the flower on this one, lots of lovely layers & the papers are such a nice colour. Nice touch with the stitched ribbon.

Jenny said...

Oh how can you be so productive in this heat?
The trouble with drying washing in this weather is it's harder to iron the creases out!
Lovely card, those papers are a scrummy mix aren't they.
We ate our first baby courgettes this eve...tasty :)
