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.

WISHING YOU

Hi Everyone

I hope your day has gone to plan and you had a good Tuesday.

Hope you aren't fed up with Christmas cards yet .. .. .. there is still at least another four weeks worth of them to do .. .. .. and if I were to say six weeks then it will all just be far too late as six weeks today it will be Christmas Eve!!  Eeeekkk!!!!

Better hurry up and post this one and then get another one made as I have some winter brides to keep happy too!!  LOL!!!  

Here is my favourite make of today:




This used:

Backing Papers:  Dovecraft "Noel"
Sentiment:  Pink Petticoat "Traditional Christmas Sentiments"
Martha Stewart Punch:  Traditional Scallop 
Spellbinders Shapeabilities "Layered Poinsettia"
My Trusty Sewing Machine
Josy Rose:  Nail Heads and Gems

I know the aim is to try and make some "flatter" card for Christmas but I really didn't want the poinsettia to be flat when it came out of its packaging/envelope so I put a few blobs of Glossy Accents between the layers so that hopefully it keeps the layers a little upright. 

I probably should have put a couple of green leaves on there too.  Might slot a couple under and see how they look in the morning. The light is too rubbish to make such important decisions now LOL!!!

Enjoy what is left of this evening.

Love

Stop it, you are so confusing me, I thought I was going to comment on your last night's post and then I thought you had lost it when I read, hope you have had a great Tuesday, it is my fault really as I am so behind tonight with my commenting.

This card is so classy and absolutely fabulous, need I say more.

Hi Jules, I was so excited this morning when I received your comment about The Range as I was going to Halifax, near to where the Range is so I thought I would be able to get some kraft card, but no... none at all, I was so disappointed so it looks like I will have to go on line for it. It is so annoying when some branches have things and others don't but thanks for the info anyway. Hope you are having a good week.
