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.

SKETCH SATURDAY WEEK 293

Hi Everyone

I hope you are all having a good week.

Lots to catch up on this end so I didn't have time to share anything yesterday :-(  -  I did try to catch up with some of your lovely blogs late last night .. .. but it isn't easy at the minute.  For some reason I keep getting a picture of a strange computer coming up when I am commenting saying that page(s) are unresponsive and do I want to wait or kill the page!!  

Is it just me or is anyone else having the same problem?

It was certainly making commenting difficult.  Sometimes my comment would stay, other times it took multiple attempts.  It wasn't quite so bad first thing this morning though so perhaps things are a little happier today .. .. but I am determined to catch up.

Anyway, at least I have a card to share and I based it on the lovely sketch from over at the Sketch Saturday Challenge blog this week:




This used:

Image:  Penny Black "3776F" Love Nip
Sentiment:  Computer Generated using fonts "1942 Report" and "2Peas Dragonfly"
Backing Papers:  Nitwits "Always and Forever" FQB Collection
X-Cut Corner rounder punch
Josy Rose:  Nail Heads
ProMarkers and Chalk
Cord and flower from my stash box

Have a good day everyone.

I wonder if my pre-loved stamps will arrive from the lovely Clair today.  Lots of you have been trying to guess which ones I added to my collection .. .. and lots of you have been right!!  You know me so very well!!   Is that a good thing or am I just plain predictable I wonder??!!! LOL!!!

Hope you find a bit of crafty time today and if you fancy playing with the sketch .. .. this is what I used.


See you soon.

Love

Viv said...

Personally I would always opt to 'kill'... not necessarily the page either but Blogger himself in general!! LOL
Great fonts for the sentiment Jules and a fab card. xx

*sigh* Yes, Jules, I've been having lots of commenting problems. I use Firefox and I've been having to go over to Internet Explorer to get the comments to stick! Very frustrating...I'm sorry you're having the same problem. :-(

BUT, I'm loving this card!! What a super cute image--that brought a big ol' smile to my face!! =D

Hi Jules, I really like your background paper - hedgie is cute, and the typing reminds me of an old manual typewriter I had - its typeface was just the same, and just as dodgy, lol. I keep getting the dratted little man too - and sometimes he tells fibs - the page loads! I am waiting for some stamps from Clair too - will share on my blog what I bought - super exciting waiting for postie. Have fun! Lynn x

Hazel said...

Jules your card is beautiful, I just love the whole lay out. Hazel x

A gorgeous card Jules. Love the design, the image and the papers.
I get that message too sometimes and I think it's a default message when browser thinks the page is taking too long to load. Doesn't happen just on blogs either.
