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 CHALLENGE - WEEK 56

Hi Everyone

I hope that your weekend has been a good one.

I have spent most of today washing and ironing. (and I can't believe that I still have so many shirts left to iron!! Hubby has bought himself a load of new work shirts and of course they all need washing and ironing before he can wear them).

So as a reward for being such a domestic goddess I have treated myself to a session with my toys and created my Penny Black Challenge card for this week.

The challenge is a colour theme this week where the colours are Red, White and Blue.

Here is my creation:

This is what I used:

Image: Penny Black 1444K "Hedgehog Bouquet"
Backing Papers: Pink Petticoat "Pretty Doodles"
Promarkers
Buttons and ribbon from the stash box
Diamond stickles

Enjoy the rest of the day everyone and I'll catch you again soon.

Thank you for calling by.

Love Jules xx

Brilliant card again Jules and a perfect take on the red, white and blue theme. That little hedgie is so cute and your Promarker colouring is great.

I love the blue button threaded with red ribbon too. That's a lovely little touch.
