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.

SILLY GIRL!!

Hi Everyone

What a silly girl I have been.

I have been working away getting lots of cards done ready for the weekend and then suddenly it was starting to get dark and I hadn't taken a photograph of anything to share .. .. .. so loads of creations .. .. .. no photographs!!!  Doh!!!

Well I have tried my best to take a picture of one of my favourites of the day. The idea behind this card being that it will be nice and light weight for someone to post abroad.


So here it is



This used:

Image:  Elzybells "Faux Postage - mouse"
Sentiment:  HobbyArt Clear Stamps "Christmas Greeting Set"
Martha Stewart Punch:  Embossed Zig Zag
Nestabilities:  Rectangle and Scalloped Rectangle Small
Glamour Dust
ProMarkers
Ribbon and Cord from the stash box


It is actually a bit naughty to show you this little mouse as he is now no longer available to buy.  He came from Elzybells .. who have been having a closing down sale .. .. he only arrived last Friday but is so cute.  I nipped on the website again just to see if there were any other stamps in the range still available only to see that Elizabeth has now closed her doors .. .. and will be working as a stamp designer for Penny Black Inc.  How exciting must that be for her .. .. well done Elizabeth.

Talking of Penny Black .. .. don't forget the challenge over at Penny Black at Allsorts where the theme this month is "The Colours of Autumn".  Lots of lovely prizes on offer - including weekly ones to celebrate our new DT members.

So for me it has been a very productive day.  The only time I "slacked" was to take my Mum to choose some paint for her hallway .. .. and to share a cup of tea with her.  But I don't think a good deed in a wicked world can be held against me.  LOL!!!

Back to it now and sorry, there is still no commenting from me until after the craft fair on Sunday  -  and I will have one huge catch up with you all then.

Thank you for taking the time to call by even though I am a rubbish blogger.

Love

Lovely image and a great sentiment too. I must admit that I placed a couple of orders with Elzybells before she closed the shop. Can't wait to see her Penny Black designs.
