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.

AHOY MATEY

Hi Everyone

Happy Tuesday!

I hope you have all had a good day.

I spent my day tying ribbons with one eye watching Tim Holtz on You Tube .. .. totally inspired I convinced myself that today's card would be a "messy number" .. .. but when push came to shove I ran out of time to play and had to just go down the quick, easy and neat route  :-(

Never mind.  Tomorrow's another day and we will have to see what that brings.

So here is tonight's share:





This used:

Image:  Lili of the Valley
Sentiment:  Cut from part of the backing papers
Backing papers:  Nitwits
Josy Rose:  Nail Heads
Martha Stewart Punch:  Embossed Zig Zag
ProMarkers
Diamond Stickles
Cord and Charm from the Stash Box

I've just noticed that the little chappie is missing his rosy cheeks .. .. he must be feeling a bit sea-sick LOL!!

As a follow on to my snippet make on Sunday .. .. the lovely Christine Dark has been back to me with regards the bluebell image.



Christine's digi image store closed down a while ago but you can either buy the image here as part of a huge and beautiful stamp set or alternatively you can contact Christine on her blog here to buy the digi image of the bluebells by email.

Thanks for that Christine xx

OK so that is me for today.

Back again tomorrow .. .. with who knows what!!!  LOL!!!

Love

Cute card Jules, another great LOTV stamp with fantastic colouring. I've never thought about cutting the sentiment from the backing papers, very clever and I may just use that idea in future.

Take care, Rach
