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.

GAME ON

Hi Everyone

I hope you have had a good day.

The weather has been lovely .. .. so much so that I even managed to dry the towels on the washing line today so they smell gorgeous!  (Sad aren't I?)

Another quick card today as wedding work is high up on the agenda .. .. but hopefully it is one you will enjoy looking at.

So here we go:




This used:

Image:  Penny Black "4129J" Game On
Sentiment:  Elzybells
Backing Paper:  My Minds Eye  (no name on the football kraft card)
Nestabilities:  Scalloped Circle and Classic Circle Large
Josy Rose:  Nail Heads
Sizzix Die:  Stars #2
My Trust Sewing Machine
ProMarkers
Cord from the Stash Box

I know that the stars don't look very good on a photograph but hopefully they will look much better when standing on a mantelpiece!!  LOL!!

You can tell this little hedgie is a "top notch" footballer because of his designer footie boots!!!  Perhaps Hubby's football team should try and sign him up .. .. they need a bit of top notch play at the moment!!  

OK .. .. back to the dining room table .. .. 30 pieces of card to fold in half and 60 ribbons to tie before I am allowed to give in for today!!

Have a good evening everyone.

Love

Morning Jules

Great card, hedgie looks so cute in his bright boots!

I love line dried washing too, there's nothing better than pulling a top on that smells fresh and clean. Have to admit though, l am a bit ocd with pegging out my washing, the colours of the pegs have to match, no mixed pegs allowed!

Have a great day, love Rach the mad woman xxx
