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.

LOVIN' AND HUGGIN'

Hi Everyone

Stranger alert!!!

Life has been .. .. and still is .. .. super busy here in the House of Hearts.

No time for general makes and blog posts .. .. just wedding work and commissions .. .. none of which I can share at the moment.

But today I did need a birthday card for someone who would be very disappointed not to receive one I had made, so I thought I would see if I can remember how to post to my blog and share it here LOL! !!

It is a card for a man .. .. and when in a rush I find these two images go perfectly together.  In fact the two stamps sit side by side in the drawer.




This used:

Image:  Penny Black "2863J" Lovin' and Huggin'
Sentiment:  Penny Black "1743F" It's your Birthday
Backing Papers:  DCWV "Black & White Prints"
ProMarkers
Diamond Stickles
Metallic Cord

and that is it!!

Thanks to everyone who checked in on me and wanted to know that all is OK.

All is good and super exciting.

It just makes me feel really bad when people leave me comments and I cannot return them.  I have so many stacked up to return that it is getting embarrassing.  I'm so sorry .. .. I will get there eventually .. .. but for now my happy couples have to come first.  One happy couple get married this Saturday.  I do hope the weather picks up for them.

Not sure when I am going to get back to regular posting as the wedding are still going strong and I have an October wedding fayre to prepare for.  

Never a dull moment in the House of Hearts.

Hope everyone is well.

Love

Hi Jules.
Your card is gorgeous, I LOVE that image and such a fabulous sentiment to go with it.
It sounds like you are super busy at the moment. I am sure everyone understands that are unable to leave comments at the moment so don't worry about that.

This wedding stationary lark is certainly keeping you busy - but it's all good. I'm sure you wouldn't want it any other way. Thanks for taking the time to share this fab card. The ducks are so cute and I love the sentiment.

Hi Jules, fabulous card - and that PB image is one of my faves (did you know I have a LOT of PB faves?) - and great sentiment too.

Goes so well with the backing papers.

Don't fret about lack of blogging time, so long as you're well and happy we'll still be here if and when you have more time to play.

Hugs, Di xx
