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.

HUBBY HAS A BIRTHDAY TOMORROW

Hi Everyone

Well my Hubby has a birthday tomorrow .. .. I know he won't look at my blog today as we have friends coming round for a meal tonight .. .. so I will share his birthday card today (after all it will be snippets tomorrow!!).

I don't do A5 size cards very often as I seem to struggle to fill them and still keep them "clean" looking .. .. but with this image I didn't have that problem LOL!!!



This used:

Image:  Teddy Bo
Backing Papers:  Pink Petticoat
Josy Rose:  Nail Heads
ProMarkers
Chalks
Distress Ink:  Tumbled Glass
Cord and embellishment from the Stash Box

So lots of hearts for someone who deserves lots of love!!!

Up-date on the Christmas tree .. .. the new lights have been behaving themselves .. .. everytime I switch them on though I look at them expecting them not to work LOL!!!

I will try and get a decent picture of my tree for you to see it in all its glory.  I love the sparkle and twinkly lights of Christmas .. .. .. and yes .. . .surprise, surprise there are some hearts on it!!  LOL!!!

OK .. .. time to get the table laid and some parcels put into carrier bags!!

Have a great evening everyone.  I hope all your preparations are going to plan.

See you tomorrow with my snippet makes.

Love

You sound as though your Christmas plans are all going well, Jules. You are definitely ahead of me in the pressie wrapping stakes and after not being able to find any labels i have that job to do over the weekend too. I could do with some of yours they are gorgeous.
I love the card made from the beer can and bottle mesh. Your friends will laugh when they receive that.
Hope Hubby has a great birthday. His card is great. I love the big teddy.
Enjoy your weekend
Hugs Lisax
