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 126 - LET IT SNOW

Hi Everyone

Well has it thrown it down with rain all day where you are?  It has been proper dull and miserable in my neck of the woods.

Yukky dah!!!!

Today's share is for the Penny Black Saturday Challenge where this week the theme is "Let It Snow".

I was a very lucky girly at the weekend and was randomly selected as the winner of last week's challenge .. .. a lifetime 15% discount voucher from PB Stamps and they have over 3,000 stamps in stock!! 

Crikes .. .. how amazing is that for a Penny Black lover!!!  Thousands of Penny Black stamps and lots that are discontinued now .. .. .. ..  some I have never even seen before but have instantly fell in love with!!!

I have told my lovely hubby I will just order one of everything they have and if I have already got some of them then that's just too bad LOL!!! 

Sadly he didn't say "Yes duck, you go ahead"   .. .. ..  he just gave a little laugh .. .. .. I wonder why?   I thought he loved me!?!?!?!?  LOL!!!

Anyway, here is my challenge entry for this week:






This used:

Image:  Penny Black "3766J" Royal Mail
Sentiment:  Penny Black "3555D" Merry
Sentiment:  25 Dec .. .. sorry I don't know .. .. it was a little acrylic thing lying lost and lonely in the bottom of the Christmas stamp drawer
Backing Papers:  Papermania
Josy Rose:  Nail Heads
Hobbycraft Punch:  Large Snowflake
Diamond Stickles
Cord from the stash box

Now I have also been blessed with an award from two of my lovely blog buddies Vicky and Tracy (listed in the order that I was given the award).  Thank you ladies for thinking of me.  Please pop over and see these ladies blogs .. .. they both do gorgeous work.


So my blog has attitude.  Woo hoo!!!  Well even if it hasn't I have an award with lots of hearts on it LOL!!

Now as my regular visitors know I can never pass on my awards as I love all my bloggy visitors and cannot single any of them out .. .. but if you would like to take the award then please do .. .. .. and also follow this link as if you abide by a few simple rules (which of course I haven't) you should be eligible for a gift certificate for $5.00 to spend on digi images.

Have a good evening everyone. 

It is one of those days when I am going to have to have a super hot bath to warm myself through.

Catch you again tomorrow.

Love

That's brilliant, Jules. Lucky you having a lifelong discount. Does your Hubby just look at you in a slightly bemused way when you suggest such things. Mine does, as if to say, I'll just humour her I know she's a bit puddled!!
It's another gorgeous card. I love the snowflake sentiment.
It's been wet, cold and windy all day here too and it looks like it's going to rain all night too. Maybe tomorrow will be better. Here's hoping!!
Hugs Lisax
