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.

HAPPY RUDOLPH DAY!

Hi Everyone

I hope the weather has been as bright and beautiful where you are as it has been here.  Lovely sunshine but quite windy (which has been good for the old washing).  How many shirts have I now got to iron :-(   .. .. .. but at least they will smell of beautiful fresh air!!!

So we are round to another 25th of the month .. .. which means Rudolph Day .. .. so I am joining Sandra in her challenge which you can find here.

I am creeping a little bit and hoping to get extra points for sharing a Rudolph card on Rudolph Day LOL!!!




This used:

Image:  Hampton Art Stamps "4611" Rudolph
Backing Paper:  Dovecraft "Noel" Premium Paper Pad
Josy Rose:  Nail Heads
ProMarkers
Glamour Dust
Diamond Stickles
Ribbon, cord and bell from the Stash Box

Thank you so much for all of your comments on my card yesterday.  

You are all so lovely .. .. .. but I don't think I actually deserve such lovely blog buddies at the moment.  

My weddings are taking up all of my time and I am not getting chance to return many of your comments .. .. .. ..  so I understand completely if you just want to have a look at my make and then disappear without leaving one!!!

Enjoy the rest of Saturday everyone.

Love

Reading your posts always puts a smile on my face Jules. I often do a view-by (a quick squiz and I'm off without saying Hi)

Some creations just call out for comments! And of course it does depend on the time I have. As you can see I've got loads of time this morning!

PS I believe that the magazine you're in will be in our stores on 19 March! can you believe the delay in getting a darn magazine from the UK to Oz?

Cheers,
Kasey ~ in Oz

Hi Jules, wouldn't dream of just passing by without comment, especially as this is yet another terrific card - love that image, he has just got to be the cutest little deer pulling Santa's sleigh, and how appropriate for Rudolph Day :) Elizabeth x

MagsB said...

Jules, sweetie, your wedding work is your job, that has to take priority! Anyone who doesn't understand that is silly. I always love when you take the time to comment on my blog, but you are a very busy person and as far as I'm concerned your work is much more important!

As for your card, it's smashing! I love that Rudolph stamp, his expression is so coy and sweet!

Have a great weekend, hun!

much love, Mags B xx
