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.

SILENT NIGHT

Hi Everyone

Here I am at last!!!  Late again.

I have been happily engrossed in wedding work but thought I had better stop and get something made for my blog today!!

This little make was already half done and all I needed to do was add the image .. so that was good.




This used:

Image:  Stampendous!  "Silent Night Snowman"
Sentiment:   Pink Petticoat
Backing Papers:  Dovecraft "Noel"
Martha Stewart Punch:  Traditional Scallop
Josy Rose:  Nail Heads
ProMarkers
Diamond Stickles
My Trust Sewing Machine
Ribbon from the Stash Box

So that is me for today.

Lots of makes to make for Christmas and weddings .. .. but I have had a big clear up campaign and cleared the dining room table completely .. .. ready to cover it again tomorrow.

It is a bit lethal when I work downstairs as I see lots of lovely goodies on Create and Craft whilst working away.  Today it was all of those lovely Nestabilities that are on offer .. .. .. oh if only!!!  Some of them look so gorgeous.  All I can say is there must be some very lucky crafters out there as stock was being snapped up!!

I don't know why I have it on really because I never buy anything!!  LOL!!!

Enjoy what is left of the evening folks and I'll catch you again tomorrow.

Love

love the stitching really sets this off and fab card. No buying for me either.

Carole Campanile said...

Another fabulous creation with that set. Don't be surprised if you get a card from me that looks familiar. LOL!!! I am not proud and at this point I need to start casing if I am ever going to get cards made. **wink**

I have to say that though this is a casual style stamp, your choice of paper moves it towards a subtle elegance. Well done my friend.

Hugs
Carole
PS - can you tell work has slowed down? I'm actually getting a chance to visit all my favorites today. :D

Cute Christmas card Jules...I've been eyeing up those ribbon sentiments at PP!!!

I like to have C&C on in the background if I'm blog hopping, but not when crafting as I have to stay in my room for that... James is too OCD for a crafty mess on the table!!

Beautiful card, Jules. Love that paper!

Anj said...

haha - makes me laugh, though it was only me who watched C&C and never bought! Your table sounds just like mine too - I've kind of spilled out of the craft room and oops... landed on dining room table - well its lonely upstairs (that my excuse and I'm sticking to it!!). Love the card Jules x x

I love that beautiful rich red against the Kraft colour Jules and those Dovecraft papers are really sumptuous. The snowman is really cute and the little bit of stitching really sets the card off.

Your snowman looks like my sugar one from last week. You are so good with all your Christmas cards. I need to get my finger out although I have bought!!!!!! yes don't say it....some in case of emergencies.
I have C&C on too just to see what they are doing but never buy anything either, the p&p is crippling isn't it.
Hope all is good with you.
Hugs Lisax
