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.

BUTTON TREE AND AN EXTRA SPECIAL OFFER!!!

Hi Everyone

I hope you have all had a good day.

Mine has flown .. .. yet again!!!!  Grrrr!!! 

The other Sunday I posted a Christmas card that had a button tree on it as one of my snippet makes.  Quite a few people emailed and asked what the stamp was .. .. and I forgot to say . ... sorry!!!

So to make amends I have made another card using the "said stamp" and will give you all the details below.



This used:

Image:  Tatty Button "TB25" Button Tree
Sentiment:  Docrafts "With Love"
Backing Paper:  Funky Hand "Twelve Crafters Crafting CD"
Raffia Lace "Paper Cellar"
Nail Heads:  Josy Rose
Promarkers
Diamond Stickles
Glossy Accents
Ribbon from the Stash Box

I love this backing paper from Anice's latest CD.  I have a bit of a soft spot for backing paper with writing on it!!!

In fact speaking of Anice .. .. she has a birthday coming up tomorrow and is wanting to celebrate it with everyone.

She will be the grand young age of 43 and to celebrate she is offering everyone 43% off all the Funky Hand products in the store.

The offer runs from midnight tonight until midnight tomorrow .. .. how amazing an offer is that?!?!?  That will mean that the Twelve Crafters Crafting CD will be reduced from £16.99 to £9.68 .. .. .. crikey!! 

You can find the store and all of the goodies here.

I will end with a huge apology .. .. I am sorry I haven't been blog visiting these last couple of days .. .. weddings and Christmas makes for tomorrow are taking up all of my time .. .. but I will be back in full flow soon I promise.

Even my lovely hubby is being a little bit neglected :-( so to make up for things a little I am making one of his favourite dinners tonight .. .. spag bol with garlic bread!

But in the meantime it is back to the Christmas cards ready for our Victorian late night shopping evening tomorrow. 

Have a good evening.

Love

Hi Jules, Am loving today's make. The pink and black colour combo is very striking. I have this raffia lace too but in cream and lilac, I must use it more. Thanks for the heads up on Funky Hands discount.

Thanks also for the lovely comment on my Kick-Stand card and Yes, I did use a glue pen to affix the Memory Box flourish. Quite fiddly but I love this die so much. I've used it again today. x
