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.

TIME TO BE A TEENAGER !!

Hi Everyone

I hope you have had a good day and that you saw some of the lovely sunshine.  

My day has flown by far too quickly again today.  I have been sharing my time between wedding invitations and card orders.

Tonight I will let you have a peep at a card I have made for a very good friend to give to her Grandson who will be a BIG 13 next month (I hope he doesn't turn into Kevin overnight LOL!!)

I think I am safe in sharing my card .. .. I can't imagine finding a heart on a random blog post being of major importance to a young lad of 12 .. ..nearly 13.

Can you remember as a kid telling people your age as "nearly" whatever your next birthday was going to be and always wanting to be older?  Well I think I have grown out of that and am quite happy not to be adding any extra years on now LOL!!

So here is my share:




This used:

Image:  Mo's Digital Pencil "Paul Texting"
Sentiment:  Pink Petticoat and Computer Generated (but in my rush I didn't write the font down .. sorry)
Backing Papers:  A mishmash of Pink Petticoat and a random snippet from Aimee Asher
Sizzix Die:  Stars
Josy Rose:  Nail Heads
ProMarkers
Metallic Cord

and that is me for today!

Enjoy what is left of today and thank you for calling by .. .. unless you are the "nearly 13 year old" .. .. eeekkkk!!!   LOL!!!

Love

Hi Jules, This is a brilliant card for a teenage boy - I had a Kevin before Harry Enfield he lived on a different planet to us and spoke a completely different language but came home to eat, sleep and use our hot water!! However he has turned out to be completely dependable. Pauline xx
