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.

NEC GOODIES CREATION

Hi Everyone

Before I start talking about my share for the day I would just like to say one very big


THANK YOU


to all of you lovely blog buddies that left good wishes for me and my lovely hubby yesterday on our wedding anniversary.

We had a lovely day and a lovely romantic meal. 

Back to earth with a bang tonight .. .. chicken salad with a jacket spud!!!  But hey, mustn't grumble .. .. I will still enjoy it!!  In fact the table is still clear (miracle of miracles) so we could even sit up to the table again tonight! 

So now round to my share for the day ....

This uses some more of the goodies I bought from the NEC last week.





This used:

Image and sentiment:  Lili of the Valley (so now you know what two of the 4 stamps are I bought)
Backing Paper:  Aimee Asher
Little Spoon Charm:  from one of the £1 charm packets I bought last week (still lots to go at)
ProMarkers
Glossy Accents for the cherries
Crystal Stickles
Ribbons from the Stash Box

and that is it.

Now it is time to go and get the spuds in the oven and then off to the bath whilst they cook.

Hopefully then a jump around blogland to see what all you lovely crafters have been up to.

Love

I think it's wonderful the way you celebrate your Anniversaries, Jules. I remember you doing the same thing last year. Congrats to you both on 36 years. You sound very happy.
Even jacket spuds are nice when you have someone to share them with!!
Your cards are beautiful. I love the pretty flowers from yesterday and this new stash looks gorgeous.
Hugs Lisax

Oh Jules, Your card is absolutely adorable!! We seem to gravitate towards the same kind of stamps; I just love those little mice. I bought this stamp (and a few others) over the weekend. I've seen the LOV stamps around and finally had to see what else they have ....I went crazy in their store. I'll be on "no-stamp-purchases-restriction" for a month!! LOL

I wasn't sure what I would use this cute stamp for, but now I have your fabulous example as a marker for a future card.

TFS!!

Hugs,
Carole

What a sweet card Jules. Love the images. At first glance i thought they were Penny Blacks. Cute little spoon. Congrats on your anniversary. I could kill for a baked pot. hubby is on low potassium diet (kidneys) and all potatoes have to be boiled for 10 mins. I suppose i could sneek one when he's not around.xx
