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.

JUST DOTTY

Hi Everyone

Five more sleeps!!!!

Not long to wait now .. .. .. and I just know that when I see my Mum tomorrow she will say those inevitable words .. .. "well, this time next week it will all be over with".  She says it every year.  In fact I expect her to say it every time we speak on the phone LOL!!!

Just a quick and simple share from me today as I am in wedding mode big time at the moment.




This used:

Image:  Creative Cafe "CS6143" Doodle Flowers
Sentiment:  Pink Petticoat
Backing papers .. .. sorry don't know .. .. they are just dotty ones from the big snippet drawer !! 
Josy Rose:  Nail Heads
ProMarkers
Ribbons from the Stash Box


Has everyone received all the parcels they have ordered on line to save going out to the dreaded shops?

I am just waiting for one now .. .. but there are still a few more days to go so I'm not panicking just yet!!  

Time now for me to be a domestic goddess in the kitchen and then hopefully I will be back later for a blog hop!

Have a good evening everyone.

Love

Hi Jules, I've been having a look over your fab cards from last week and they are all pretty amazing, forgive me for not leaving individual comments on them all :)
My Mum used to say those words too and now I just think them when I'm surrounded by paniced shoppers like me!!!
Cute card today and I want to wish you a Happy Christmas and a peaceful New Year in case I don't get round to visit again :)

Hi Jules,
Just having a catch up! So many gorgeous cards since my last visit. Love your Handy Hippo make!

Your comment about your mum made me laugh. Every year, during dinner, my mum always says "well this could be my last Christmas..." I never know whether to laugh or cry!

Gorgeous card, Jules! Not quite so gorgeous as the one that popped through my letter box this morning though. Thank you. I adore that goose! Three more get ups until work is finished and I can't tell you how much I am looking forward to that! I am still awaiting a parcel or two. I am hoping they arrive tomorrow when Meg will be in to receive them, as I hate going to the sorting office!

You've made this simple flower stamp look soo pretty - a gorgeous card! Love the little heart punch too! Glad you nipped over to my blog - many thanks for your lovely comment - your blog is not showing in my reading list, along with several others I'm following! sometimes it's there, but more often than not it isn't, don't know why this is happening, have tried to sort it, but it seems to have a mind of it's own!!!
Hope you have a wonderful Christmas
Hugs
