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.

SNOOZING STAN

Hi Everyone

Just a quick post from me today whilst I am munching on my lunch.

Unfortunately I have the news on in the background too .. .. .. what horrible news it is holding from all over the world.  Lots of lives in turmoil and some ending far too early :-(

It makes our unhappiness about our energy supplier wanting to up our direct debit pale into insignificance .. .. but it is nonetheless worrying!

Perhaps as the news continues there might be some good news to cling to somewhere (please).

Anyway, round to my quick share:




This used:

Image:  Digistamp Boutique  "Snoozing Stan"
Sentiment:  Computer Generated using font "Mr Sirloin" (my current favourite)
Backing Papers:  Nitwits "Bear Boys Too" (just love the brown pattern that looks like quilted fabric)
Nestabilities:  Classic Squares
ProMarkers
Josy Rose:  Nail Heads
Diamond Stickles
Metallic Cord from my Stash Box

OK .. .. lunch break over .. .. time to hit the wedding invitations I need finished for the weekend.

Hope your day is going well.

Love

lovely card Jules, fab image and colours - your computer generated sentiment is great.
I gave up reading the newspaper because I found it so depressing and I just ended up getting upset and cross every time I read it - like you say, the news is not much better but it does put things in perspective sometimes.

It's a scary world we live in - I'll never understand the people who do this sort of thing. Just hope we don't get any 'copy cats' on Sunday for the London Marathon.
I think the chap in your image got the birhday message. Great card.

Oh, Jules, I know just what you mean about the news! How can human beings do such awful things to others?
