My photo
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.

DRESSED UP

Hi Everyone

I hope the day is being nice to you .. .. .. once again Tuesday is the new Monday and I am going to be confused all week!!!  LOL!!!

I had a fantastic Bank Holiday weekend and hope that you did too and before I start rambling I would just like to thank you all for your lovely comments on the wedding stationery pictures I posted yesterday.  You are all very kind!

I had such fun taking my wedding stationery photographs.  In fact I should probably have taken a photograph of my little set up too as it threw the House of Hearts into chaos!! LOL!!

The pictures were taken using my Maplin photo booth .. . but because I had so many to take I wanted the booth at a decent height .. .. so I ended up with the photo booth on top of the coffee table .. .. which in turn stood on top of the dining room table. 

So no tables to use anywhere because I had commandeered them all!!  Even Sunday's Chinese ended up more like a picnic .. tee hee!!

Anyway, here is my little share for today:




List used:

Image:  Penny Black "2082E" Dressed Up!
Sentiment:  Papermania Clear Stamps "Couch Potato"
Corner Stamps:  Verve Stamps "Thankful Accents
Backing Papers:  Raspberry Road
Distress Ink:  Tea Die
Josy Rose:  Nail Heads
Promarkers
Ribbon from the Stash Box

and that is it for today !!!

I am still beavering away at my website work and trying to think up and link together lots of nice words in a memorable and sensible fashion.

So much to consider .. .. and my brain is hurting a little  LOL!!

Sorry I am not visiting .. .. I am thinking of you all and wondering what you are all up to.  I promise to make amends at the weekend.

Love

Love your little doggie with his very cool tie.

I thought of you today... whilst I was updating my current challenges Deep Ocean Challenge has a theme of hearts so that is definitely one that has your name all over it :)

Hope you photo sessions are going well. Your new website is going to look really cool.

A fantastic card Jules. I love the faux stitching and the corner stamp is great. To start with, I couldn't work out if it was a stamp or doodling.
