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.

ALL THINGS BRIGHT AND BEAUTIFUL

Hi Everyone

It looks like it is going to be a lovely day .. .. and a warm one too!!!

One of my brides got married yesterday and I have been emptying out her work boxes this morning :-(   Weird but it always makes me feel a little bit sad when I do that.  Silly really because if I am emptying her box it means her special day has arrived and she will be super happy!!!

Her colour was beautiful sunshine yellow (it must have been a lucky colour because the sunshine definitely made an appearance for her). My share today uses up some of the snippets from her boxes .. .. ..




This used:

Image:  Penny Black "3864F" Bohemian
Sentiment:  Pink Petticoat .. .. I don't think this download is available anymore - I have had it years and years!
Backing Paper:  Pink Petticoat "Pinstripes"
Cuttlebug Embossing Folder:  Stylized Flowers
Spellbinders Nestabilities:  Oval and Scalloped Oval
Josy Rose:  Nail Heads
My Trusty Sewing Machine
Memento Ink:  Dandelion (Rubbed inside my Cuttlebug embossing folder before loading it up with my card)
Flowers and Ribbon 

I used the sketch from over at Sketch Saturday for my make today.  I haven't had chance to join in with this challenge for a while so it was nice to download the sketch for a play .. .. and I am also running over to share in Pixie's Crafty Snippet Challenge before the playground gates get locked!

If you fancy playing along with Sketch Saturday then here is the lovely sketch . . . defo one for using again!!!


Have a lovely weekend everyone .. .. slap that sun-cream on!!  You don't want to end up like some of the people I have seen recently .. .. red raw!!!!  Eeeeekkk!!!!

Love

Beautiful, beautiful card Jules.

Love yellow too. I always wonder why not many brides chose it as their wedding colour. We recently went to a wedding here, it had a yellow scheme and was fabulous, especially in the sunshine.

I would be really lovely to share some of your wedding makes, after the couple have got married of course!

Love Sheila x

This card certainly is bright and beautiful Jules, I love the bright yellows and lovely butterfly.

I'm so pleased that things are going well wedding wise, anyone getting married recently has certainly had some beautiful weather - it was the hottest day of the year when I got married on 30th June many, many years ago.

I hope you have had a lovely weekend.
