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.

PROBABLY MY MOST USED STAMP

Hi Everyone

I hope you are all OK and that the day is being kind to you.

The weather here is grotty considering how lovely it has been the last few days.  I really did think Spring was on its way .. . but perhaps not just yet :-(

You surprised me yesterday with how easily you all found the heart .. and there was me thinking it was going to be difficult.  Clearly everyone is getting to know my hiding places far too well .. .. or you are cultivating super speedy heart spotting eyes LOL!!!

Today's share uses probably the stamp I have used the most in my collection .. .. I love it.




This used:

Image:  Stampendous! "M217" Dandie Trio
Backing Papers:  Pink Petticoat "Quatrefoil" and "Stripes" (both sets on offer for £1 each at the mo!!)
Martha Stewart Punch:  Traditional Scallop
Josy Rose:  Nail Heads
My Trusty Sewing Machine
Gold Embossing Powder
Ribbon from my stash box

A little more of the cream card has disappeared too but there is plenty more to go at.


These are the snippets left over from just one wedding card cutting session!!!!

Lots of hearts, butterflies and flowers there .. .. and possibly a few little easel cards if I get my act together.

Cream is definitely going to be my new white!!!  LOL!!!

Enjoy the rest of your day.

Love

I can see why this is a favourite, Jules, it's lovely and although it's floral, your card has quite a masculine feel, I love those colours.

Have a great weekend whatever the weather. We've had sunshine up until today and now it's raining steadily.
