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.

READY COLOURED IMAGE DRAWER TO THE RESCUE

Hi Everyone

Here at last!!!

I seem to be meeting myself coming backwards today .. .. ..  hopefully tomorrow will not be quite so much hustle and bustle.  I get to meet one of my lovely brides in the morning so that will definitely be nice!!

So for today's share it has had to be a case of "quick .. grab the drawer that has all the images in that I sit and colour when I visit my Mum" LOL!!!

It is quite a handy drawer to have actually and perhaps I should look in it more often as there are quite a few images sitting in there now!!





This used:

Image:  Digistamp Boutique
Sentiment: Hobby Art Clear Stamps "Christmas Greeting Set"
Backing Papers:  Nitwits
Martha Stewart Punch:  Traditional Scallop
Josy Rose:  Nail Heads and Acryllic Stone
ProMarkers
Glamour Dust
Wooden Snowflake - embossed with white embossing powder and sprinkled with glitter
Cord from the Stash Box

and that is it!!!

So what is happening near you?  Have you suddenly seen lots and lots of Christmas trees and decorations appear in people's houses?

I am convinced that all the kids that didn't go to school yesterday because of the strikes were busying themselves by getting everywhere decorated because "it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas".   Ooooo... I'm getting excited!!

Right time to clear this dining room table ready for my lovely bride tomorrow.

Catch you again soon.

Love

Adorable card Jules. Those ornaments hanging off his antlers are too cute.
I don't have a drawer, but I do have a medium sized SU stamp container with already colored images. Sadly all the images are spring or halloween. :(

Hi Jules, another fab card - I like the image and also the plaid paper. So far, no Christmas Decks here in our little courtyard - it's usually Alan who starts it all off by putting up the outside lights but as he is temporarily out of action Christmas could be a bit later this year. Hope all goes with your bride tomorrow. Elizabeth x

Hi Jules, another one of your cutsie images, he's so sweet & coloured a treat. Pretty papers & an even prettier snowflake. I agree with you about the crimbo decs popping up here & there. Around where I live the peeps seem to go mad & it doesn't help that our local concil holds a comp for the most decorated house each year!

Awww. How cute! Love the image. And I really like the sentiment font. That's pretty cool.

Jenny said...

Nothing wrong with "here's one I coloured earlier"....it didn't do Blue Peter any harm!!!
Still cute whenever you coloured him, was going to say I love his baubles but it sounds quite rude..Lol you know what I mean :)

Hi Jules,
I do like the idea of having a drawer of coloured images, but I know I'd end up with images and no papers that match!

This is a lovely card. I like the way you've coloured the reindeer in a paler colour and given him rosy cheeks.

A lovely card. The image is so sweet.
The girls (Daisy especially), are starting to get excited about Christmas. I'm hoping not to get the decorations out until next weekend, but I'm not sure if Daisy will wait that long!
