My photo
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.

GET YOUR SHADES OUT!!

Hi Everyone

Bright and early for me tonight .. .. with "bright" being the key word!!

Health and Safety Warning 

 this post contains bright images 
which may shock your visual awareness.

So, sun shades out. 

Place them over your eyes .. ..  

now I can share my share of the day in a safe and considerate manner .. .. 







This used:

Image:  Pink Petticoat
Backing Papers:  GCD " Soul Food" (are you sick of seeing this yet? LOL!!!)
Martha Stewart Punch:  Daisy and Frond
Flower:  Cuttlebug Flower Die
ProMarkers
Josy Rose:  Nail Heads
Ribbon from the Stash Box

OK .. .. torture over .. .. time for you to go and lie down with a damp warm flannel over your eyes until they feel normal again LOL!!!

No claims for eye instability following exposure to such bright images will be considered due to the fact that you were warned before you looked!!

Have a good evening everyone.  Stay warm!!

Love

Oh Jules, you crack me up!! This card is NOT too bright! I love the pops of orange and I think you've placed them in the perfect spots to allow the eye to move about the card in a natural manner. Well done. :-)

Hi Jules, now this is a complete departure from your 'normal' style but I love it ... very retro too, reminds me of the sixties, my mod teenage years, happy days :) Love the image and the die-cut flower, they were made for each other. BTW, many thanks for latest comments, I never even thought about my nails when I took the photo ... the DH thinks I grow them too long at times :) Elizabeth x

Sometimes Jules, the word 'Nutter' comes to mind when I read your posts!

Love your sense of humour AND your bright card.
