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.

HAPPY SUNDAY

Hi Everyone

I hope that you have all had a good weekend.

Some of mine has been spent (with the help of my lovely hubby) in trying to organise my little craft space to make it more "user friendly". After all if I am now going to be spending all this extra time in there it needs to be practical. We didn't do too badly but the room is so small that to have both of us in there along with all the tackle we needed called for synchronised movements - it was a bit like a game of chess .. .. .. one of us needed to move one way before the other could move and so on.

So once we gave up on the miracles that could be performed in my little room today (LOL!!) I decided to have a quick play and this was the result.

This used:

Image: Penny Black "2361K" Ecarte, Splits, Pirouette
Sentiment: Funstamps "FG12" Happy Birthday (Dots)
Backing Papers: Funky Hand CD "Dreams Come True"
Martha Stewart Punches: Traditional Scallop and Frond
ProMarkers
Handmade roses
Diamond Stickles
Ribbon, pearls and stamens from the stash box

Time now to start my kitchen duties .. .. .. after all .. .. .. all play and no work makes for a messy house!!! LOL!!!

I am then hoping for a good old blog hop this evening.

Take care everyone and I'll catch you again soon.

Love Jules xx

Great card, Jules. I love the dancing hedgehogs, and the fresh colours. Good luck with sorting out your craft space. I've been trying to do the same for weeks! It must be a great feeling knowing that your journey to work in future will be no further than into your own little room, and you can craft away all day. I'm more than a little envious, & I really hope it all goes well for you. x

Hi Jules, well I suppose the only thing you can do about your room is watch you dont put on to much weight if its that small.
Love your card and dont those cats look precious. Love the colouring and the card design is fabulous. With love and hugs Shirleyx

Hi Jules. Your craft room reorganisation sounds great fun, if you're anything like me you have this vision of a much larger room until you actual get into it and realise it's so tiny!!!!
I loved your Dollshouse trip down memory lane. We had a Christmas tree too but I think my sister must have it, I shall have to go and reclaim it!!!! Love your address too.
Have a good crafty week.
