Hi Everyone
I hope you are all enjoying your Bank Holiday. The weather hasn't been too brilliant today where I am.
I decided after yesterday's embarrassment of posting a card containing "no heart" that I was going to replace the offending photograph. I can't possibly have a card without a heart on my blog!!! My hubby said I would have to change the name of my blog to "Always with a Heart - except for once" - but I didn't like the sound of that and instead I decided to just change the photograph LOL!! This isn't the original heart I used - but at least it has one!
It was just a joke to close my blog after the mis-hap of yesterday. I would miss it far to much to stop!!
Today we went on a little shopping expedition for some new shoes for hubby - and lucky for me there was a Paper Mill Store in the same place so I could go and look in there whilst he tried on pair after pair after pair of shoes. He might be lovely but he is a real test of patience when buying shoes!!!!
So today I bought a stamp which I have used for the Penny Black Challenge this week. The theme being "Christmas".
Here is my creation:

This used:
Image: Penny Black 3737J "Star Dance"
Backing Paper and Sentiment: Pink Petticoat
Ultra-fine red glitter from Lakeland
Glamourdust
Diamond Stickles
Brads and Ribbon from my stash box
It is a lovely stamp to use - and one which I am sure is going to get a lot of use over the coming months.
Have a good bank holiday Monday everyone.
Thanks for calling by. I am now off to have a much needed blog hop - I have been getting withdrawal symptoms!!!
Love Jules xx

A lovely card, Jules. So glad you aren't calling it a day after all... your hubby's coments remind me of when we thought about renaming our house 'No Trees at all!'-long story! I like the subtlety of Christmas on this card, cos I'm not ready for 'in-your-face' type christmas cards yet!
Great cards........love that stamp.... I used it alot for last years Christmas cards.... Then again any of PB stamps are fabulous.
Oh I love that all of your cards have a heart on them - I've never noticed before, what a cool idea! Anyway - this card is stunning! I love this image and the gorgeous Pink Petticoat additions! Thanks for joining in with the PB challenge this week!

Oh Jules stunning card! The stamp is soo beautiful!
I'm so glad you didn't close your blog lol! I loved your card with or without the heart!
So kind of you to offer to send me the paper but I think you ought to keep it as it would make a beautiful card with this stamp also don't you think?

Morning Jules
And a very nice stamp it is too, one I have had for a year or two and which always comes out time and again as it has so may possibilities.
Have to say I have never done it in back and red, but you have shown how great it looks in this colourway and like the hint of glitter round your sentiment.
Hope the weather is a bit brighter your way than here - it's a typical bank holiday day !
