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.

I'm pleased I wasn't responsible for a burnt turkey!!!!! (Well I'm assuming I wasn't !!)
Well done Amanda

The next winner was "landed" by Mr Heart himself.  LOL!!!

The London Kids kindly recreated one of the lovely games my Sis and I used to play as kids
(whilst I had a lovely soak in a bubbly bath) and we sent Mr Heart magnetic fishing
.. .. using a heart with a magnet attached as his bait
and a magnet on the back of all the eligible winners.

So before fishing began everything was fairly set out like this



and Mr Heart fished at arms length and  caught the second winner (blurry action shot there LOL!!)


Yes the winner of the second prize is


Eve is one of my lovely email followers and I think I gave her a bit of
late night torture.

She doesn't have a blog at the moment that I can link to .. .. but is trying to pluck up courage to start one

Hi Jules,
              hope you had a lovely Christmas and best wishes for 2013. That's the nice bit out of the way, I must tell you that I have large bags under my eyes and a crazed look on my face - with the amount of penny black stamps that I have searched through I could now go on mastermind!! You can go off some people you know!! I made the big mistake of just having a 'quick' search at 11:00 o'clock last night and 2 HOURS later for picture number 2 I thought it was a snowman eating a cookie and for picture 5 I thought it was a duck with a trumpet!! Crazy!

Have fun with your prizes ladies.  I hope you like them when they arrive.

I know some of the image names have exclamation marks
and capital letters in strange places and random full stops
but I didn't worry about any of those when checking the answers
.. as long as the picture number, image number and image name were correct
they were allowed into the selection pool for a swim about
waiting to be caught by Mr Heart  LOL!!

Sorry there has to be so many disappointed players .. .. but at least I can make two people smile!

If you could email me with your addresses ladies I will get your prizes away to you asap
and will also let you know how to claim your wonderful prize from
Liz over at Pink Petticoat (thanks again Liz xx)

BUT THE SALE ENDS TODAY (SUNDAY 06.01.13)

Our visitors will be leaving tomorrow morning at "daft o'clock" and hubby returns to work so

Email message from Eve (postal address etc removed).


Hi Jules,
YIPPPEEEE!! I won. I can't believe it, I never win anything ever! It just proves you've got to be in it to win it. I am definitely doing the lottery this week! All those late nights of penny black searching paid off! Well at least I didn't need to count sheep to get to sleep, I counted mice, hedgehogs, ducks and even snowmen - or so I thought! Well I have no excuse now not to start my own blog with all those lovely goodies to play with. Watch this space!
Thank you so much Jules for putting together a brilliant competition and thank Mr. heart for the lucky fishing rod catch!

Thanks again Jules and you will be the first to see my new blog

lots of hearts

Eve x
