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.

FOR MY BIG BRO

Hi Everyone

Well I am pretty late tonight!!!

It has been a busy busy day .. ..  which included a much needed haircut!!

Only time for one make that I can share today .. .. gosh I hope Easter isn't go to disappear too quickly!!

My card today is for my Mum to give to my BIG brother who has a BIG birthday later this week (poor lad).  

Mum always like to think up her own words for the front of her cards .. .. and as I am sure you can tell from the words on this .. .. she only has one Son (otherwise there would be some sibling rivalry going on!!!).  Mum is going to have dinner with him tomorrow and wanted to take it with her.







This used:

Image:  Teddy Bo 
Sentiment:  Computer Generated and Personal Impressions
Backing papers:  Pink Petticoat and Cuddly Buddly
Josy Rose:  Nail Heads
ProMarkers
Woodware Punch:  Inverted Corner Rounder 
Glamour Dust

So as you have probably guessed my brother doesn't look at my blog .. .. I am sure he has far more "grown up" things to do!!!  LOL!!!

I took the card round to my Mum tonight (and ended up watching a bit of "The Voice" with her) hence another reason I am late today.  I'm just full of excuses aren't I?!?!?!?

Hope you are all having a great Bank Holiday weekend.

Love

What a coincidence Jules, it's my 'Little' Bro's 60th birthday tomorrow too! Unfortunately with my diminished crafting time (not to mention none existant mojo) I haven't been able to make him a card this year. He knows I love him though, lol! Love your card Jules and I bet your Brother does too.

Hugs

Jules, that is a wonderful card for your brother, I really like the 3d sentiment and the cute bears.

Hope you enjoyed your haircut, you deserve a little pamper time.

Don't eat too many choccie eggs tomorrow and defiantly not when your crafting, smudged chocolate doesn't look good on cards ;)

Love Rach xx

Yep, I also tell my kids they're my favourite daughter or son. It took ages before one frowned and said 'But, Mum, I'm your ONLY daughter!'

I bet your bro is going to love this! Great job!!
