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.

FAB 'N' FUNKY

Hi Everyone

Well have you had snow?!?!?

We haven't had any .. .. in fact we had sunshine this afternoon and it was so bright I had to pull my blinds down so I could work!!!

Don't get excited about my share today.  I haven't gained a Grand-daughter.  This is a card for a friend to give :-)




This used:

Image:  Woodware Clear Stamp Set "JGCL502" Christmas Ribbon Tree
Sentiment:  Computer Generated
Backing Papers:  Wild Rose Studio "Wintry Christmas"
Josy Rose:  Nail Heads
My Trust Sewing Machine
ProMarkers
Glamour Dust
Ribbon

I am going to enter this into the "Fab 'n' Funky Challenge" where they would like to see Christmas cards using a colour or image that you wouldn't normally associate with Christmas.

I must admit I love purple and would be well happy to have a purple and silver tree.

In fact I think my camera likes purple too .. .. might have to change my blog to "Always With A Heart and Always Purple" LOL!!!

Enjoy what is left of the evening everyone and I will catch you again tomorrow.

Love

What a great tree! I love the purple colour scheme!

We've got a bit of snow still lying from the dusting we had at the weekend, but wall to wall sunshine today, although it's been freezing cold! More snow forecast for tomorrow though. Good excuse to stay inside and keep warm!

Simple and beautiful!!

(I thought of you today - I bought some lady long-johns and when they came out of the packet I saw they had a heart pattern. 'I've found the heart! Yippee!' was my immediate thought! Family couldn't understand why I was giggling!)

PS the liquid pearls are the ranger ones... I just store them upside down and had a little practice before I used them!!.. I do have a few colours which don't give great pearls and just seem to blog esp the baby pink one

I love this card Jules, I likes purple and silver Christmas cards and do I see some of your gorgeous Cadbury purple ribbon? I had some lovely lilac/grey Christmas papers but have used them all up, shame!. Pauline xx

cotnob said...

I love this card Jules, so fresh and bright.
We haven't had any snow either, Mum and Dad did and they only live about 8 miles away - 'flakes as big as a golf ball but they melted before they hit the ground' according to Dad!
