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.

HAVE YOU HAD A PURRFECT DAY?

Hi Everyone

Friday is here .. .. hurray!!!

I think it is always nice to get to the weekend after the Christmas break .. .. but at least it will have been a "short week" for most.

The weather has been much nicer here today and we even saw a bit of sunshine and I have sat at the dining room table all day making wedding invitations .. .. so for me a purrfect day!!

But before you all think I can't spell the word "perfect" I had better show you my share of the day.  A quick and simple card that is ideal for anyone who loves cats.







This used:

Image:  Great Impressions "G268"
Sentiment:  Woodware Clear Stamp Set "FRCL124" Groovy Cats
Backing Papers:  Nitwits
ProMarkers
Josy Rose:  Nail Heads
Cord from the Stash Box

I was right yesterday by the way.  Mum rang me this morning and said that there was "a load of paper" in with her Quick Cards magazine.  "Was it any good to me?" .. .. so of course I told her to keep it until I see her again as I would use it on my cards  LOL!!!  Another lovely stack coming my way .. .. woo hoo!!

Mum had been shopping at the supermarket "again" this morning .. .. bless her she goes every day which I think at 81 is really good .. .. and whilst there she told me that she arranged the magazines to make sure the Quick Cards ones were at the front.  LOL!!!   I think she might be just a little bit proud!

If you are here to find the ProMarker give away then you need to click here. There is still time to enter.

I'll catch you all again tomorrow and welcome to my new followers. 

Love

Totally brilliant Jules! Or should I say 'purrfect':) You always have such a knack for matching papers and images - perhaps you should feature in a magazine article? :)) Love, Di xx

Lisa said...

The magazine is great - an extra free gift too in Tesco, some flower fairies tags :-)
I love the cat stamps you've used but the code brings up a stamp set with different images??

Jules said...

Hi Lisa

I don't have any way of getting back to you .. .. so hopefully you come back and see this.

I have double checked the codes on the stamps I used and they are definitely correct. Not sure why you will be getting different images coming up.

Well done on the extra free gift!!

Have a good weekend.

Love Jules xx

Ooooooooooh I am so sorry, I searched the Groovt Cats code and got a different image, but the code was for your sentiment. That'll teach me to read more carefully ;) My apologies!
