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.

I DON'T BELIEVE IT !!

Hi Everyone

Well can you believe that after a day of making Christmas tags on Sunday (well more like a very long half day LOL!!) .. .. I have needed to make more today!!!

All good for the snippet reduction process though.

Part of this evening has been spent wrapping presents and I have them all lined up on the spare bed needing labels.  I decided I had better get some made before I forgot which present belonged to whom (sticking a post-it note on them would be cheating tee hee!!).

So I decided my share today would be the labels I have just finished.



Don't look for the heart on the one with the holly on it.  The heart is on the other side as part of the sentiment.

Making your own Christmas labels becomes a bit addictive in the end .. .. and of course once you have made one for someone you can't then stick a shop bought one on someone else's can you?

I could have shared the different coloured piles of card I have been cutting for turning into wedding invitations today .. .. or the pile of ironing I have created .. .. or even the half decorated Christmas tree  .. .. but no .. .. my labels won!  At this point in time they look much more attractive!

Hopefully lots of my half finished jobs will be completed in the next couple of days!!!

Love

Hi Jules
At first I thought Victor Meldrew invaded your post with "I do not believe it!!" Then I had a read on and can not believe it myself. Have you counted how many tags have you done in total? You must be tagged out! All the tags look great.
