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.

AN OLDIE BUT A GOODIE

Hi Everyone

What a beautiful day .. .. gorgeous sunshine .. .. and dare I say I washed, dried and ironed today!!!  What a domestic goddess!!  Tee hee!!!

Only one card I can share today as the rest are orders .. .. but I feel it is a nice share anyway.

I am going to enter it into the Oldie But A Goodie challenge.  Quite a difficult one for me .. .. they want you to add a heart to your creation.  I struggled but managed it eventually LOL!!

Here is my make:





This used:

Image:  Penny Black "2073J" Baby Hammock
Sentiment:  Whispers Words by Docraft
Backing Papers:  Pink Petticoat
Josy Rose:  Nail Heads
Nestabilities: Standard Circles Large, Classic Scalloped Circles Large
ProMarkers
Glamour Dust
Ribbon and Buttons from the Stash Box

I love making baby cards though this sentiment always makes me laugh when I use it .. .. "Congratulations on your New Baby" .. .. ... have you ever known anyone to have an "old" baby?   

Mmmmmm ...  well perhaps the Mother in the film The Curious Case of Benjamin Button .. .. now that is one film I have actually managed to stay awake through so it must have been good.

I have been the lucky recipient of a couple of awards too.  Thank you ladies.  I will get them posted soon .. .. when I can think of some more interesting facts about me .. ... I am beginning to think you know all there is to know about me (that is ignoring the bits I am far to embarrassed to share with anyone LOL!!).

Have a great evening everyone.

Love
