My photo
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.

HAPPY COUPLE - ALL BOXED UP !!

Hi Everyone

Another dull and miserable day here today .. .. but only dull and miserable weatherwise .. .. not in my craft pod!!!  That is always an exciting and happy place!!

I have a very busy weekend ahead of me .. .. brides to see and my lovely Sis and her chappie are coming for a "sleepover" .. .. so I need to get myself organised.

So in an attempt to get somewhere with this masterplan I thought I would post nice and early (for me) and get ahead of the game.

What better way of getting in the wedding spirit (not that it takes soppy me any effort at all) than making a wedding card .. ..

Prepare for photo overload!!!!!!!!!











This used:

For the card:
Image:  Lili of the Valley (one of my favourites from them)
Sentiment:  Lili of the Valley
Backing Paper:  Pink Petticoat
Woodware Punch:  Inverted corner
ProMarkers
Adirondack Ink Pad:  Pink Sherbet

Glamour Dust
Diamond Stickles
Ribbons, cord, flowers, charm and pearls from the Stash Box

For the Box:
Self Assembly Box
Anita's Sentiment Stamp
Silver Embossing Powder
Go Kreate Die:  Frilly Square #3
Heart Vellum for the fold over wrap
Diamond Stickles
Flowers and pearls

So that is me for today.

Off to go and get some of that organising done .. .. plus I also need to pop and see Mum.

Have a lovely rest of Friday everyone and a good weekend.

By the way .. .. .. did you manage to find the heart today?  LOL!!!

Love

Hi Jules loving being able to visit your blog again but had to resort to using safari instead of Microsoft. This is gorgeous as usual, glad to see the wedding side has taken off for you.
Can you tell me though, where do you get your boxes.

Oh so sophisticated! I love how you've left the image coloured so lightly, and the beautiful burgundy roses and ribbon. Lovely!

luv, Mags x

(PS I don't really regret that my son and DIL just whizzed to the registry office and got married without fuss or parents - but it would have been so nice to have beautiful stationery like yours as a memento!)

Sally said...

This is a smasher Jules. I love all that vellum especially like the way you've used it as a card wrap inside the box. Gorgeous burgundy roses & ribbon & a beautifully decoratd box lid.
