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.

ABSOLUTELY SILLY ABOUT YOU!

Hi Everyone

Well that is Wednesday .. .. ..  nearly come and gone!!!  

Where does the time go?  Days lasted far longer when I went to school that's for sure.

Lots of crafty makes in the House of Hearts today but still I want there to me more .. .. .. will I ever be satisfied with the amount I make in a day?  I somehow doubt it!!  

Just a quick and easy make today .. .. and one that is going to get me in trouble because I should have made a Christmas card for Sandra's Rudolph Day .. .. but the demand for Valentine cards is far higher than Christmas cards at the moment.  I wonder why that is LOL!!!  (Sorry Sandra xx .. I will make amends).  If anyone is wanting to get ahead of the game with the Christmas makes then you need to pay Sandra a visit!!

But for me .. ..  I am still in Valentine mode .. ..







This used:

Image:  Penny Black "1578K" Absolutely Silly about You!!
Sentiment:  Pink Petticoat
Backing Papers:  Aimee Asher
Nestabilities:  Eyelet Circles
My Trust Sewing Machine
Josy Rose:  Nail Heads
ProMarkers
Glossy Accents
Diamond Stickles

Last time I used this stamp I covered the cat's tie with glossy accents .. .. but touched it too soon and it ended up with a dent and a finger print in it .. .. .. and no matter what I did to try and rectify my impatience I just couldn't make the card look decent .. .. so it ended up in the bin (after I stole a few embellishments off it and the back part of the card).  I hate it when something has to go in the bin.

This time I added the glossy accents and put my card well out of sight so that I wasn't tempted to "test it". In fact I haven't touched it at all.  It can stay lying down until tomorrow whilst I make something else!  LOL!!!

Have a lovely evening everyone.  Ours involves spag bol and garlic bread ... .. yummy!!!

Catch you again tomorrow

Love

Hi Jules, love this card, I've never seen that image before. I think they've shortened the day from 24 hours to 12 - either that or I'm getting older!!! Enjoy your evening. Hugs x
