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.

LEAPING DEER

Hi Everyone

Here at last with a quick and simple make today. 

I haven't had too much time to play today so this has been a last minute make which will be coming in useful over the next few days LOL!!

I might add a sentiment to it and sent to our Uncle for Christmas





This used:

Image:  Penny Black "3057K" Leaping Deer
Backing Paper:  Pink Petticoat
White Embossing Powder
Kraft Card
Josy Rose: Nail Heads
Marianne Creatables:  Snowflake
My Trust Sewing Machine
Button, Ribbon and cord from the Stash Box

I am trying really, really hard to get ready for Christmas and am hoping to be ready for this Saturday.  It is going to be hard work .. .. but worth it in the end.

So far I have never yet had a Christmas that doesn't involve last minute makes and panics.  I end up even working Christmas Eve night and I am determined that this year it is going to be different.

The tree and all the decorations came out of the roof tonight so it won't be long until Christmas comes to the House of Hearts!! Woo hoo!!!

Enjoy what is left of this evening.

Love

What a fab card Jules - I love the frosting on your kraft snowflake. It's always a bit mad at this time of year but we get there in the end! (But could someone please explain why I felt the need to have a new carpet fitted this week...?!)

Fabulous card Jules - love the touch of white embossing around the edge of the snowflake. The Kraft card is a great choice for the image, and it looks perfect with the background paper.
Almost missed your hearts today Jules - had to get my binoculars out!!

It's gorgeous Jules, love the image and fab colours, and your stitching is so perfect!

I'm determined to have everything done so I at least don't have to do anything on Christmas Eve - every year we spend Christmas Eve frantically wrapping presents, and last year I even finished off my mum's card on Christmas Day before we set off there for dinner! Lisa x
