My photo
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.

IT WORKS FOR ME

Hi Everyone

Happy Wednesday everyone (had to work out what day it was then LOL!!)

Here is the card that was "nearly" ready for posting last night .. .. all finished this morning.

It isn't really a Christmas image .. .. but it works for me!

I was rummaging in the Christmas stamp drawer and came out with the sentiment stamp which made me immediately think of this cute little chappie .. .. he is one of my favourite stamps.




This used:

Image:  Whiff of Joy "Henry Hugging Heart" I think
Sentiment:  Penny Black "3502F" A Wish
Backing Papers:  Dovecraft "Back to Basics" Vintage (again!!)
My Trusty Sewing Machine
ProMarkers
Glamour Dust
Wooden embellishments, ribbon and pearls from my stash box

I enjoyed colouring my lovely Henry so much that I think my Henry Christmas stamps need to come out next!!  But not now .. .. those wedding invitations are calling me!!

Enjoy the rest of your day.

Ours started off horrendously weather-wise but is now lovely - I can't believe the difference.

See you soon

Love
