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.

BOLD SCRIBBLE TREE

Hi Everyone

I hope the day has been kind to you all and if you have children who were awaiting their exam results today .. .. I hope they got what they needed or wanted.  None of that malarkey in our household as my babies are all big and grown up now.

Well my share today is a Christmas card because I am reliably informed by lovely blog buddy Sandra that today is Rudolph Day .. .. apparently the 25th of every month is Rudolph Day .. .. with the idea that you make a Christmas card in the hope of easing the stress of the manic season!!

So here is my Christmas card in celebration of Rudolph Day LOL!!





This used:

Image:  Hero Arts "E1986" Bold Scribble Tree
Backing Papers:  Papermania "A Silent Night"
Josy Rose:  Nail Heads
Hobby Craft:  Snowflake Punch
My Trusty Sewing Machine
Ranger:  Gold Embossing Tinsel
Brads and Ribbon from the stash box

and nothing more!!

Sandra was a little worried when I hinted I would be celebrating Rudolph day in case a Christmas card  wasn't on my "do list" .. .. but she needn't have worried.  Not only is "a" Christmas card on my "do list" .. but 3 large boxes full of the lovely things .. .. so you might be seeing a few more festive creations from the House of Hearts!!  Good job I love Christmas LOL!!

I'll catch you again tomorrow with another share!!

Love

Great card Jules - that reminds me that somewhere in the Christmas stamps box there is a Scribble Tree - or even a couple in different sizes :) Mind you, my efforts wouldn't match yours....but I could always add a Josy Rose Nail head here and there :)) Love, Di xx

What a gorgeous "Rudolph Day" Christmas card you've made Jules. Love the muted colourscheme.

Thanks for joining in the fun (and bless you for the link!) Sounds like you're going to have a SERIOUS Rudolph Day if you have to make 3 BOX LOADS!

Hugs, Sandra (PS: I had a job finding the heart, but succeeded in the end!)
