My photo
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.

WHAT'S GOING ON HERE?

Hi Everyone

Well yesterday was a lovely day in the house of hearts. The postman delivered some lovely goodies. There was my blog candy prize, a few stamps I had been waiting for from Lili of the Valley and an envelope with some goodies in from one of my lovely blog friends (thank you again xx) and no bills!!!

First I will share a card that I made with one of the Lili of the Valley stamps and then .. .. .. well..


This used:

Image: LOTV "Sailing Boat"
Backing Papers: DCWV "All About Boys"
Sentiment: Papermania Clear Stamps "Stamping For Him"
Martha Stewart Punch: Valentine Lace
Promarkers
Brads and cord from the stash box

Loving the LOTV stamps at the mo. So lovely to colour!

Next on to something that is even spookier than the face I found in a flower on that rubber stamp the other day ... ... ...

My sweet baby face has been stolen and used on a rubber stamp!!!

I open the envelope from my blog buddy and as soon as I saw one of the stamped images inside I recognised myself. Spooky!!!

I just had to get the photo album out and do a compare and contrast .. .. what do you think? Is it me?

LOL!!!

The photograph shows me and big bro wearing our jumpers which I am sure would have been especially knit for our holidays by Mum. She would have cut my hair too and this was quite long for me. Normally it was shorter than my brothers and as I got older she used to perm it!!! Now those photographs really are scary.

We were on holiday "somewhere" and this photo was taken on a little horse and carriage feature that was on the beach. Especially put there for taking photographs on - wouldn't last two minutes now I suppose. It would soon get broken.

Didn't I look a sweet thing. I wonder where it all went wrong? LOL!!

Have a good rest of the day.

Love Jules xx

Oh Jules, love the card and the stamp image is so definitely YOU! Isn't there a company that makes stamps for people? Maybe your blog buddy did that, although how did she know about your photo?? MMMMM?????

Fab card Jules and such great photos - I do believe that might be you on that stamp!
Your comment about the new jumpers took me right back to being a kid - there was always a new cardi or jumper for special occasions - actually any old excuse would do as my mum and Grandma were never without some knitting on-the-go. I was a great disappointment as knitting bores me rigid!
