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.

HERE AT LAST

Hi Everyone

What a hectic evening - never thought I would get here.

Just a quick card to share this evening that hasn't been made for anything in particular. Just for fun! I made the card early evening but just haven't had chance to post it.

This card used:

Images: Lace background - Inkadinkado "90355-Y" and Flower - Magenta "H0306"
Punches: Martha Stewart "Lace Doily" and Woodware "small label"
Sentiment: Pink Petticoat
Ribbon, thread, sticky gems

I love the lace stamp. I think it looks so "real". Sometimes I emboss it but this time it has just been stamped onto white card using black Stazon.

I think I am liking seeing white on my cards this week!

Must fly - I know I have lots of people to thank for leaving awards on their blogs for me but unfortunately I haven't had time to pick them up and mention them here tonight. But thank you very much and I promise to pick them up asap as it is so very kind of people to think of me.

In the meantime I must go and eat!!!

Thanks for calling by. By the way .. .. my followers returned yesterday .. .. Yay!!!

Love Jules xx

Enjoy your day.

Hi Jules

Thank you for your lovely comments. I have been buzy with stamp addicts and orders for quite some time now but hopefully things are beginning to settle. Just had a look through your latest cards and they are all wonderful as usual. I had to look very closely as the background on this one as it does look like lace. Very elegant.

Happy crafting.

Love Gill x

It's lovely Jules, it does indeed look like lace and thought it was till I read more, then thought white emboss powder, but wrong again. Anyway very pretty card for "nothing in particular".
