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 61

Hi Everyone

I hope your weekend is going along nicely.

Part of mine has involved me joining in with the Penny Black challenge. I really love this Challenge Blog.

This week the theme is to work to a sketch.

Here is my creation:

This used:

Image: Penny Black 3687K "light the night"
Backing Papers: Pink Petticoat
Sentiment: Elzybells
Cuttlebug "Swiss dots" embossing folder
Punches: Martha Stewart "Doily Lace" and XCut "medium flower"
ProMarkers
Brad and spacer from my stash box


I cut my oval on the Cricut machine twice. Once in white and once in the pink thinking I would just be able to layer one on top of the other .. .. but they didn't look right. So I lay my white oval on top of my pink oval and drew around it with a pencil and then used a pair of good old fashioned "pinking shears" to trim to the pencil line. Can't believe I was lucky enough for the zig zags to actually match when I got back to my starting point! Oh it doesn't take much to please me does it.

Oh - nearly forgot. This is the sketch I needed to work to:

Have a lovely happy Sunday everyone and thank you for calling by.

Love Jules xx
