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.

TYPICAL !!!

Hi Everyone

I hope you have all had a good day today.

The weather has been lovely again here and I got lots of washing done  .. .. ..  it was lovely to hang it all out on the washing line .. .. .. but I am not not impressed now!!

The second lovely day of Spring and what happens?

You hang your washing out and someone has to light a bonfire!!!!!!!!  Grrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My once lovely smelling washing no longer smells nice.

Typical!!

Anyway now that is off my chest .. .. here is today's share:




This used:

Backing Papers:  Aimee Asher
Image:  Stampendous! "M214" Bloom Swirl
Josy Rose:  Nail Heads
ProMarkers
Ribbon from the Stash Box

So that is me for today .. .. .. off to try and tidy up some of my craft space now.  Everything has made its way back upstairs from off the dining room table (and floor and cupboards and chairs and computer trolley LOL!!) - but hasn't been put into its proper place yet. 

Catch you again tomorrow

Love

This is gorgeous as always,love the image,

we have neighbours like that who like to burn
everything im sight, I wouldn't mind but they don't even let you know what they are about to do so you can bring the washing in

Hello Jules, lovely card - love the colours and the layout together with the very pretty stamp. If you can be bothered you could check the local by-laws - there might just be one that stipulates whether or not you can have a bonfire and/or when you can light one. Often there are set times and if that was the case your neighbour could be asked to stick to them leaving you time to get your washing out in a smoke-free period - just a thought. Elizabeth x

Great card Jules :o) Love the layout, and the papers and image are fab too. Ooh don't get me started on bonfires! One of our neighbours has them all the time, it seems like nearly every day at the moment... I mean, who needs to have that many bonfires?! The bedrooms reek of smoke, it's sooo annoying. Aah, rant over! Lisa x

Hi Jules, yup that's a very pretty card:0)
My nieghbour has been renamed, it's Bonfire Billy and he's been called that for so long it's difficult when we meet not to call him it. One day it's going to slip out, then I'll be sorry:0) xxx

Gorgeous card Jules, beautiful colouring! How frustrating about your washing! When we lived in England, I would come home and our lovely farmer would have spread muck in the field on the back, not an easy smell to get out of your washing lol! Thankfully didn't happen to often, take careX:)
