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.

HAPPY NEW HOME

Hi Everyone

Hope your day has been good.  Mine has flown by.  I am sure days are shorter than they used to be!!!

Things seem to be calming down on the streets .. .. let's hope we are starting to see an end to the madness.

Only one card I can share today .. .. all the rest have been orders .. .. or more of those little handbags that I made a few weeks ago.  I am planning on taking a load of these to the Festival next month so have been making a few each day.  I think it would be a bit boring if I showed you a handbag every day though  LOL!!!

So here is the one card I can share:




This used:

Image:  Image: Crafty Individuals "CI-263"
Sentiment:  Computer Generated

Backing Paper:  Aimee Asher
Vellum
Cuttlebug Embossing Folder:  Script
Papermania:  Raffia Lace
X-Cut Punch:  Flower
Josy Rose Nail Heads
My Trust Sewing Machine
Crystal Stickles
Ribbon, cord and charm from the Stash Box

So that is me for today.

No scandal and no news .. .. just a card LOL!!

Have a lovely evening and I will catch you again tomorrow.  I have a pile of inserts that need putting into cards and then a pile of ironing!!  Yuk!!!!

Love

Hi Jules.
Amen to everything you've said this week. I agree with you wholeheartedly and thank goodness your Son ws safe. What a worry that must have been for you. What a state to be in when we no longer feel safe in our own country!!
Your makes this week are gorgeous. I love the houses on this one. I'd love to live in any one of them. You should get this entered into The Stampman challenge this week. We want to see your stitching and you've just got time. It ends tomorrow.
Hugs Lisax
