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.

FREQUENT FLYER

Hi Everyone

What a miserable day weather wise .. .. but what a fabulous day for being snuggled indoors with your crafting goodies!! 

Another day spent on wedding work today and then a quick play this evening .. .. it seems really weird not dipping into my Christmas stamp drawer .. .. though I have vowed to make Christmas makes all year this year.  (Just like lots of other folk no doubt LOL!!).

Anyway, here is tonight's make







This used:

Image:  Penny Black "2070K" Frequent Flyer
Sentiment:  Penny Black "Critter Party" clear stamp set
Backing Paper:  Raspberry Road (half price sale at the moment !!)
Martha Stewart Edge Punch:  Daisy
Leone Em Pty Punch:  Ash Branch
Woodware Punches:  Flowers
Josy Rose:  Nail Heads
ProMarkers
Crystal Stickles
Ribbons from the Stash Box
White Gel Pen

I hope everyone is still managing a bit of "chill time" though I know quite a few folk that are already back to work :-(

Is everyone else like me and having to work out what day of the week it is?  LOL!!!

Catch you again tomorrow and don't forget the Handy Hippo Promarker giveaway here. 

Love

Aww, love those PB hedgehogs! A super card with a great colour combo, the touches of red go perfectly with that shade of blue. Me too, I thought it was Wednesday today & had to check with the TV mag to find out it wasn't! lol.

Hi Jules, what a lovely fresh and pretty card. I love the papers you've used with one of my favourite PB images. xx

I've been working on my QC makes and decided to organise/clean my craft room today. Ever had one of those jobs that you wish you'd never started, lol?!! xx

This is gorgeous, Jules! I love it. I took my dad to do some shopping today, and driving home afterwards was very wet. Had the wipers going on double speed for part of the way and the puddles were huge!

Gorgeous card Jules! Loving the colour combination. May I ask what kind of make "white gel pen" you are using"? It seems to be really white and visible. The one I have got is very watery, hardly visible on lighter colours and also the flow is very bad.

Morning Jules . . .LOVE this PB stamp. Bit of a dismal day down South to start with, but apparently this morning will be okay, it's the afternoon that bad weather sets in.

Better walk off some extra Xmas pounds shortly then!

All the best for 2012 xxx

Hi Jules, well, what day of the week is it? If it wasn't for the newspaper I don't think we'd know either :) Gorgeous card - the hedgehog is smashing and I do like your flower embellishment. Elizabeth x

Misty's said...

Hi Jules
Thank you very much for getting back to me about that "white gel pen". Greatly appreciated!!! I have checked out the Handy Hippo website for the pen and it appears to be different to the one I have got. Will try it out next time I decide to purchase something I need to go with it to justify the p&p. Thank you very much again.
