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.

TOMORROW I PROMISE .. ..

Hi Everyone

Yep .. .. tomorrow I promise .. .. .. .. .. "no Valentine card"!!!

I am sure you must all be sick to the back teeth of my Valentine makes so tomorrow I promise to share something different.

What it will be I have no idea yet .. .. but it won't be for Valentines (but there will be a heart on it "somewhere" .. .. .. hopefully .. .. .. LOL!!).

Anyway, tomorrow is another day .. .. and today it "IS" another Valentine card.




This used:

Image:  Digistamp Boutique:  Valentine Bird Collection (printed onto linen effect card)
Sentiment:  Magnolia Stamps "Be My Valentine"
Backing Papers:  Hot Off The Press "Classic Creative Pack"
Nestabilities Die:  Labels Four
Diamond Stickles
Glamour Dust
Sticky back pearls
Ribbon and Cord from the Stash Box

So a very quick one today as I didn't need to do any colouring at all!!  Just a bit of glamour dust on a couple of the hearts and that was it!!

I have been with Mum again this afternoon making more of my little favour boxes.  Only another 6 to do for this current order and then the decorating and filling of them can begin .. .. woo hoo!!

So I am definitely going to get those made tonight so that I have reached a lovely little landmark on the production front.

I don't know if any of you visit my fabby blog buddy Elizabeth but she has started to do some work with the lovely Handy Hippo and you really must go and see the lovely project she posted here.  She has made the most amazing flower out of hearts!!!!!  Wowzers .. .. I am so going to have to try and make one of those that's for sure!!!!!  (Once I have some instructions from Elizabeth xx).

Well that is all of my news for today.

I am off to make those last 6 favour boxes .. .. have something to eat .. .. clear up and then hopefully have a good old blog hop.  I have a feeling I have a bit of catching up to do!!!!  

Have a good evening everyone.

Love

Hi Jules, fab card, love that cute little bird digi, great papers and as usual your ribbon/cord embellishment is gorgeous. Only 6 favour boxes still to do, mum must have been timing you on that production line today. Many thanks for the mentioning my latest little venture ... so kind of you ... I'm sure I'm going to enjoy designing for HH too :) I'll be getting the camera out tomorrow and put together a tutorial on how to make that flower - made from hearts I think it could become a firm favourite with you :) Elizabeth xx

Hi Jules, Absolutely nothing wrong with making cards all about love! And cards coming from the House of Hearts, how could they not be about love?

I am going to be casing one of your cards for an up coming Friday Mashup challenge...I will of course link to your blog and give credit for the idea. I have changed things up just a little!

Cheers,

Kasey ~ in Oz

Totally fabulous Jules. So clever with all the little hearts too.

Can't believe it - my snippets card has a heart flower on for Sunday's posting, using a heart punch to make the petals. Just about to throw myself off the top of the playground slide in despair - no time to make another though. Fingers need to fly here, writing up the playground frolics!!

Love
