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.

PINK PETTICOAT TO THE RESCUE

Hi Everyone

I hope you have all had a good day.

Lots of nasty germs going around at the moment .. .. so if you have managed to catch any then make sure you get rid of them nice and quick so that you can enjoy the Christmas break.

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

My day has been spent getting all my paperwork ready for the accountant to inspect tomorrow .. .. so my head is about ready to burst.  I certainly couldn't work with numbers all day every day that's for sure!!  Give me a rubber stamp, an ink pad and a piece of card any day!

Well panic is just about ready to set in here.  I have been busy making cards for all my lovely customers to give but still don't have any to send myself .. .. .. and there are some people where a shop bought one just won't suffice .. .. but I can't spend ages and ages making some as there is just too much to do.  

So I am trying to come up with something nice and quick but hopefully worth receiving .. .. and at the moment this is my favourite.



This used:

Double printed Pink Petticoat Papers:  "Twas the Night" Script Papers printed in Sweet Bohemia overprinted with "Small Nordic Snowflakes" printed in Winter Pansy
Sentiment printed directly onto card base using font "Zipty Do"
Hobbycraft Punches:  Sowflakes
Josy Rose:  Nail Heads
Ribbon from the Stash Box
Glamour Dust
.. .. and a couple of lines of embossing from my ScorPal

Yep .. .. quite pleased with this .. .. .. but I can see it happening in a few different colourways!!  LOL!!!  It definitely needs to be done with those gorgeous Kraft papers I downloaded.

OK bath time for me.  Time to relax and get all those numbers out of my head before bedtime!

Enjoy the rest of your evening.

Love

Hi Jules, just caught up with your last three cards and the labels - all very lovely. If I have to choose a favourite, it would have to be the one with the pine cones - great image and my favourite colour. Your bow is fantabulous too. Elizabeth xx

Marvellous card Jules. I love the font and the over printed paper.

Connie said...

I love this card and the one in the post before this one. They are so elegant and rich. Now, I am not ready for snow . . . it has been raining a lot here and it chills me to the bone. I know that when the snow comes it is going to bring in icy roads (that is what I really don't like). The good thing is that I am retired so most of the time I do not have to go out and drive in it:)
Come on over and visit and when you are there, enter my very first Give-Away. I am celebrating my first year as a blogger. I love blogging and have met so many wonderful and creative people.
Hope to see you.
Your blogging sister, Connie :)
