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.

WEDDINGS & ANNIVERSARIES 4 OF 5

Hi Everyone

Friday is here .. .. .. woo hoo!!!

I hope everyone has had a good week.

Lots crossed off my "do list" this week .. .. but lots added to it too!!  All exciting stuff though that fills my days beautifully.

Anyway, here is my 4 of 5 for my theme of the week.





This used:

Image:  Magenta (it is a wooden stamp with no name .. .. just a number written in pencil "40217 K")
Sentiment:  Personal Impressions "Everyday Words Happy Birthday"
Backing Paper:  Raspberry Road "Beach Bliss"
Martha Stewart Punch:  Traditional Scallop
Diamond Stickles
Pearls and Ribbon from the Stash Box

I spent a good bit of the afternoon with my Mum today.  I took some wedding work with me to do whilst we  chatted.

I think I should have started this wedding malarky some 20 years ago .. .. Mum would have loved to have joined in I'm sure .. .. but she can't be bothered now.  I can tell she thinks it is all a bit much .. .. but at nearly 82 I think that is allowed!!  (She would much rather play her 3D  DS).

She will ask what I am working on and look at a sample and pass comment .. .. then she will ask how many I need to make.  It doesn't matter whether I say 20, 50 or 100 - she just gives me a look of exhaustion at the thought of making them!!  LOL!!  Bless her.

Have a good weekend everyone.  I hope you find some crafty time.

I will be back with the last of my Weddings & Anniversary makes tomorrow .. .. not sure what it will be yet though !!

Love

This is beautiful Jules, I love the style and the elegant shades of brown on your card... yes they wouldn't be bothered at 82 but at least you can have a chat with your mum.. mine is always so unhappy and so just moans all the time unfortunately :(

I am loving the series of cards you have been showing, especially as it is wedding season and ideas are definitely needed. Just wondering what the next series will be. Hugs, Amanda x
