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.

MERRIEST CHRISTMAS WISHES

Hi Everyone

Much earlier tonight!!

Probably not colouring an image made a difference LOL!!!

I have been loving these Pink Petticoat Christmas sentiments this year .. .. .. I have used them loads .. .. as you have probably noticed.

Just a plain and simple one tonight .. .. .. so you can have an extra photograph to make up for it!!






This used:

Sentiment and Backing Paper:  Pink Petticoat
Diamond Stickles
Cord and Gems and little bells from the Stash Box
Strip of lace webbing from my lovely Sister's leftovers!!!

Baby boy is coming to sleep over tonight ahead of going to the football with his Dad tomorrow .. .. so this has involved me having to clear the double bed in the back bedroom of all my wedding samples, ribbon, gems and deliveries .. .. gosh that bed looks big now it is cleared!!! 

Then once the bed was cleared the next mission was to hide his Christmas presents as I haven't wrapped them yet.  It felt just like when he was little .. .. .. trying to find places he wouldn't stumble across them.  LOL!!!

So, because I am a bit earlier tonight I will hopefully be able to have a good old blog catch up later (especially as it is hubby's night to spoil us with his fish and chip supper).   Woo hoo!!!

Catch you again tomorrow

Love

Very elegant Jules. And of course in blue, my favorite color. :D

The edges of your cards are always perfect; what kind of cutter do you use?
