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.

HEDGEHOG BOUQUET

Hi Everyone

I hope your weekend has got off to a good start.

Our weather here has been really lovely .. .. and it seemed to stay light until quite late!  Spring must be on it's way .. .. woo hoo!!!!

Just a quick share from me tonight as we are expecting visitors very soon .. .. and I still have a few things to do ahead of them arriving.

So here we go:




This used:

Image:  Penny Black 1444K "Hedgehog Bouquet"
Sentiment:  Pink Petticoat
Backing Papers:  First Edition Papers "Boho Chic"
Josy Rose:  Nail Heads
Woodware Punches:  Flowers
ProMarkers and Chalk
My Trusty Sewing Machine

and that is it.

Time to run and make myself look a little more presentable and to find somewhere to hide my Big Shot Pro .. .. not something you can tuck away in a corner very easily .. .. and not something most folk would expect to find in your kitchen.  Though I could perhaps pass it off as a machine for making pasta sheets for lasagne  LOL!!

Have a good evening everyone and I'll catch you tomorrow with my snippet make.

Love

Hi Jules! What a little beauty. Hope you enjoy your night with friends. I never thought of using my Cuttlebug for making pasta sheets ... could run it through with an embossing folder and make it all pretty. By the way, don't be fooled it's nearly spring, snow forecast for middle of next week again, grrr. Hugs x

Tedz said...

Hi Jules, I thought I recognised the lovely colours of this card - it's a pad I bought recently because of the colour. That Hedgie is a cute one. Thank you for your lovely comment even though you are very busy at the moment. Ching I hear you cry! Yep! I am jealous every time I see that ribbon! Have a lovely Sunday, Pauline xx
