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.

HAPPY NEW HOME

Hi Everyone

Sorry .. .. I am late again.

Hubby came home with a new family member that needed welcoming .. .. no .. .. nothing animal orientated  -  a courgette plant that needed to be made to feel at home in our garden.  We have grown green courgettes before but these are YELLOW!!!  Oh well we can give them a go.

The courgette seeds we set were rather disappointing so we have sown some more .. so we could have a glut of courgettes plants now!!  LOL!!!

So on a new home theme .. .. a new home card






This used:

Image:  Not really sure.  I bought it at the NEC from a stand called "Butterfly Kisses" but it was handed to me just in a cellophane bag .. .. no packaging, no name, no maker .. .. and I can't find it on their website either.
Sentiment:  Hobby Art Clear "CS016D" General Greetings
Backing Papers:  Pink Petticoat
Woodware Punches:  Flowers
ProMarkers
Chalk
Brad, charm and ribbon from the stash box

So I have a complaint. 

I left all of my ironing out last night along with a list of the blog buddies who also requested a call from the ironing fairy.  I can only assume that she liked the sound of your places better than mine because she left without doing a darn thing!!  You can't get the staff these days!!

My time has also been taken up talking to one very excited Sister.  She is off to see Take That tomorrow at Manchester.  I bet she won't sleep tonight or tomorrow as she will be so excited.  Bless!!

Thanks for calling by .. .. I will catch you again tomorrow.

Love

Gorgeous card again Jules; love that stamp, paper and the little key charm. The ironing fairy didn't come here either - think she should be sacked! I'm going to see Take That on Wednesday! Tickets were my christmas present from my daughter and SIL. Can't wait!! Looking forward to your email! xx

Well Jules if the stamp doesn't have a name on it you best just send it my way. Lol
Great card and love the stamp it's perfect, and with the suit foilage to finsh off.
I was hoping the ironing fairy would have called here but guess she must have been busy else where. Never mind may be she'll call tomorrow while I'm at work.

Lovely fresh looking card for a nice fresh new home ........ hopefully, lol! I know our first home wasn't fresh or new but we did love it.

Oooh, I'm really envious of your sister. I only said to my OH at the weekend that I bet one of Take That's shows would be brilliant and I'm an old fogey, Ha! Ha! Bet she has a great time.

I hope you new addition has settled in very well!!
Your card is great, Jules. I love the little key. I saw Butterfly Kisses at Harrogate, they have some gorgeous stamps don't they.
Your ironing fairy didn't lift a finger here last night either. I've got to do it all this afternoon!!!
I'm sitting here green with envy at your Sister. Even though I dropped MASSIVE hints about TT to DH he didn't cotton on, bless!! I'll have to wait until they put in on the telly.
Hugs Lisax
