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.

I RAN OUT OUT TIME !

Hi Everyone

Happy Thursday!!

Sorry for the "no show" yesterday.  I ran out of time LOL!!  I am on a mega catch-up in the old craft pod following the Christmas/New Year break.  Good job my batteries got well charged up so I feel nice and hyper!

It was a busy, busy manic day yesterday and then hubby got the treat of a bottle of red wine out for us to have with our evening meal (though to be honest it was so late by then you couldn't even call it evening any more!!).  I am so lucky not to be married to a man that expects his dinner to be on the table as he walks through the front door!!

I didn't even find time to release all the lovely comments you left me on my lovely new die!!  Can't wait to use it!!

But here is the card I was going to share with you yesterday .. .. had time allowed  (yes, more of those gorgeous hedgies!!:




This used:

Image:  Penny Black "2074J" Mighty Wishes!
Sentiment:  Pink Petticoat (sadly no longer available)
Backing Papers:  Fancy Pants "Swagger"
X-Cut Punch:  Corner Rounder
ProMarkers

A nice simple make but using one of my favourite new images that I bought in a sale just before Christmas. I just love colouring it and it is great for those pesky male cards .. .. which is always a bonus.

So that is me .. .. late for yesterday and early for today!!  LOL!!!

Hope you have a good day.

Love

Hi Jules,
this card is just fabulous!
I have to come clean that I bought this stamp after you last showed it so beautifully. I normally try not to buy the same stamps as you for fear of copying but that is getting very hard now that you have so many! So I have given up this idea and think that as long as I don't copy your card exactly ( same papers and layout ) it should be O.K.?
Hope you have a fab day. xx

What an adorable card Jules! I love these little hedgehogs and of course you colored them so cute! Sorry I haven't been around in a long time, life threw us a curve and have been dealing with hubby's health issues. Then the holidays hits and well you know the rest of the story...just not enough hours in the day. But I am hoping that I can get back on track and visit my favorite blogs regularly once again. Hugs!

Well you are lucky that you are only running out of time as I am running out of patience, I don't know if it is Google Chrome or Talk Talk or what but I am having dreadful problems with my computer.
