My photo
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.

THE GLITTER IS OUT!!

Hi Everyone

Well the Glitter and Glamour Dust is out . .. that can only mean one thing .. .. I have made a start on Christmas!!!

I know lots of you will think it is far too early . . but I know I am just going to have to "squeeze them in" wherever I can so you will be seeing a few no doubt over the next few weeks!

So here we go:




This used:

Image:  Penny Black "4203K" Snowscape
Backing Papers:  Dovecraft Vintage "Back to Basics Christmas"
Sentiment:  Pink Petticoat
Martha Stewart Punch:  Snowflake
Josy Rose:  Nail Heads
Chalk
Glamour Dust
Diamond Stickles
Ribbon
White Gel Pen

Nearly wishing I hadn't added chalk to the sky now.

I might rub that off tomorrow when the stickles are dry.

Right .. .. must fly.  I am supposed to be in the bath .. .. not crafting and posting .. .. so better go before I am "found out"!!!

Too late .. .. I hear footsteps on the stairs .. .. eeeekkkk!!!!!

Enjoy the rest of the evening.

Love

What a pretty Christmas card! Love the sparkle! It's never too early to start on them. It will be here before you know it!

Elizabeth said...

Better to start early for Christmas before it catches you out. Saying that, I'm giving Christmas cards a bit of rest for a few weeks and concentrating on other stuff. Your card is beautiful but I see what you mean about the blue sky ... here in Scotland it would be grey if there was snow on the ground :) Love that PB stamp. You nearly had me foxed tonight but I've spotted the heart - I'll be able to sleep now :)) Hugs, Elizabeth xx

What a beauty Jules, a girl can never have too much glitter on Christmas cards. I managed to get all mine finished before I gave up crafting so my halo is shining!!! Craft room all demolished and new bed being delivered end of the week. Was out with my friend yesterday and we were bedding shopping ... all the money I made on my ebay sales has now been spent!!! Hugs x
