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.

PENNY BLACK SATURDAY CHALLENGE - MAY

Hi Everyone

Happy Wednesday!

Here as promised with my card for the Penny Black Saturday Challenge for May.

They have asked this month that we use our favourite Penny Black Stamp.

Now that is quite difficult because I love each and every one I own.  So do I go for the Penny Black stamp I ink up the most?  One that can only come out for Christmas makes?  

Well, if for some horrible reason I was ever told that I could only keep one of my Penny Black stamps it would be this one .. .. my very first PB stamp .. .. the one that started my PB addiction .. .. 




This used:

Image:  Penny Black "1652J" Cheesecake Wish
Sentiment:  Pink Petticoat (sorry I think it is one that was removed from the boutique)
Backing Papers:  First Edition "Silent Night"
Cuttlebug:  Flower die
Josy Rose:  Nail Heads
My Trusty Sewing Machine
X-Cut Punch:  Tiny Butterfly
Nestabilitites:  Classic Circle and Scalloped Circle
ProMarkers
Diamond Stickles
Buttons from my Stash Box

and that is it!!

Admit it .. .. you thought there would be a hedgehog on my stamp didn't you?  LOL!!!

Enjoy your evening everyone.

Love

I have so many crafty addictions...but don't we all!

Your card is so sweet...that ribbon with the words on it is great!

We finally have had some sunshine peeking through the clouds. Managed to get out in the garden and DH dug and divided tons more perennials...they seem to get just as big the following year!

Totally adorable Jules! I can see why you love this little fella - there's an innocence about him :) And a beautiful card of course, as always.

I've been sorting right through my dies, re-organising them - and remember you spotted the score mark of a little heart on my Cuttlebug plate? Well, I don't have a heart die that shape/small size. Gremlins?

Hugs, Di xx

MagsB said...

I'm not surprised that this is your favourite PB stamp, it is so cute! I can never decide if I like PB Hedgies or Mice best - they are both so adorable!! But this is especially gorgeous!!

And your card is lovely - really, it's not so much what image one likes, it's what one does with it - just like your card!!

love Mags B x
