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.

HAPPY HARVEST

Hi Everyone

Happy Thursday .. .. it is Thursday isn't it?  Is anyone else super confused as to what day it is?!?!?

All the wedding work and orders were shown the light of day again come Sunday evening and reviewing everything it looks like I am super busy until towards the end of February!!  Then just plain busy after that LOL!!

My fingers were well itchy over the Christmas break and it is lovely to be playing with my crafty stash again.

No new crafting goodies came via Santa.  I am guessing from what I did receive that the world thinks I need to sit back and "chill" a bit more .. .. so I will try .. .. but it isn't easy when you are hyper all the time with a brain buzzing with ideas you want to try!! 

I did have a few Santa pennies from my Mum and managed to spend those on-line in the sales last night .. .. so watch this space for a lovely new stamp set and a gorgeous die or two that will be perfect for Valentine makes and the Christmas cards that I have vowed to make all year this year in readiness for Christmas 2014!!!   Eeeekkkk!!!

So round to today's share:




This used:

Image:  Trimcraft Cling Stamp "Basil Bunny - Happy Harvest"
Sentiment:  Hobby Art "GR1833B" Happy Birthday
Backing Paper:  Fancy Pants "Swagger"
Josy Rose:  Nail Heads
Pinking Shears
ProMarkers & Chalks
Diamond Stickles

and that is me for today.

I hope the bad weather and floods that are being predicted for the country tonight and tomorrow don't turn out to be as bad as they are talking about.  All very scary for lots of folk :-(

Take care and catch you again soon.

Love

Kathleen said...

Well you've got me on this one, can't see a heart, unless it is his nose but doesn't look really like a heart.
Great image and fab colouring, love that striped paper.
Send me some of your ideas please I haven't made a card for 3 weeks, just can't get into it.

Happy new Year, Jules. It is still Thursday, but only just. Santa only left me one voucher to spend on crafty stuff - I think he is of the opinion that I have quite enough stash as it is. He's not wrong :) Your fab card is perfect for any gardener on your birthday list - your colouring of Basil Bunny is super - you've picked out the colours in the paper perfectly. It's been sunny but cold here today - such a nice change from all the gales and storms we've had recently ... apparently it's going to change again soon. Have a great week and a wonderful 2014. Hugs, Elizabeth x
