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.

A PURR...FECT BIRTHDAY

Hi Everyone

I hope you are all keeping well and have had a good weekend.

Here this evening with a card I made earlier but haven't had chance to post, due to work finally starting on clearing the last of the boxes that remained packed in the hallway, in readiness for getting the old carpet up and a new one down - so excited that we are nearly finished renovating and can simply live in and enjoy our new home .. .. it is going to be sheer heaven!

But I am here at last with this little creation:


This used: 

Image: "In Love With Cats Clip Art" by Fantasy Digitals via Etsy (one of ten images that are in the download)
Sentiment:  Computer Generated
Corner Rounding Punch
Backing papers from snippet mountain (have been working hard to try and reduce the volume this week - perhaps if I do the same for the next five years I might find some improvement LOL!!)
Ribbon
My Trusty Sewing Machine

and that is me.

Wishing everyone a good week ahead.

That's a lovely image. Love all the hearts in the background and you have mounted it brilliantly - as always. It must be such a good feeling to know that your renovations are almost complete. Hope the last bits don't get left, like they tend to in my house! xx
