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.

ONE OF THOSE WE DON'T LIKE MAKING

Hi Everyone

I hope your week has got off to a good start.

My share today is one of those cards that it always makes me feel sad to make.  

It isn't one that I need to send personally, it has been requested by someone else .. .. but even so it is still sad to think someone is no longer part of this world and others are hurting because of their absence.

But I suppose it is all part of the pathway of life.  

So here we go:




This used:

Image and Sentiment:  Pink Petticoat  "Dandelion Wisps"
Backing Paper:  Pink Petticoat "Pinstripes" "Vintage Rose"(another one that is retiring!!  Gosh I won't be able to link through soon as all my downloads will no longer be available).
My trusty sewing machine
Josy Rose:  Nail Heads

So that is me for today.

Hopefully I will be back tomorrow .. .. .. but there is a lot on that there do list !!!

Love

Such a beautiful card. I'm afraid I have needed far too many of these in recent weeks.

Jules , a beautiful card for the sad occasion but it will bring pleasure to the one receiving it to know someone is thinking of them and their loss. Hazel x

Always, as you say, hate making one of these! Keep it simple seems the best option & this one does it so well.
I hope the one I ad to send to one of my French neighbours last week was accepted it the spirit it was sent.

This is a beautiful sympathy card Jules. I agree I don't like having to make them either, it's sad, it's hard, it just isn't a fun thing to have to do. You want to be elegant and not cutesy. Just very hard to make. But you have done it very elegantly and I'm glad that you don't have to use this card personally.

I know what you mean, these are always sad cards to make. But the recipients really treasure them, I suspect that those who haven't lost a loved one don't understand what a big difference a card can make. And yours is lovely!

I've just had to make one of these too for a good friend who lost his sister on Christmas Eve.
No day is a good day but to loose someone at Christmas is especially hard as it mars all the subsequent years. Hugs Mrs A.
