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.

I DIDN'T FROGET

Hi Everyone

Wozers .. .. how much rain ?!?!?

We have had a mini river flowing down our road today and the rain was coming so heavy that it looked like fog!!  Plus we have had thunder and  lightening to boot!!

Why does it always happen just as the kids are coming out of school.  All those poor Mums with soaking wet school uniforms to contend with .. .. I mean it isn't as if the kids try to shelter .. .. or even keep out of the puddles LOL!! 

No chance of hubby cutting the lawns tonight!!  He was hoping he could get them done ahead of the weekend.

Anyway, what better on a dull and miserable day than a card to make your eyes pop!!! 






This used:

Image:  Penny Black "3702J" Jump for Joy!
Sentiment:  Computer Generated
Backing Papers:  Part of a huge papermania stack (I hope you are impressed Lynne)
Woodware Punches:  Daisy
Ribbon from a special blog buddy (thank you Carole xx)
Promarkers
Diamond Stickles

I hope the brightness didn't hurt your eyes too much!!

I have a bit of blog catching up to do this evening so am looking forward to that and then tomorrow I am here bright and early as it is my turn to post for the Get Funky! challenge.

Catch you again tomorrow.

Have a good weekend everyone

Love
