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.

MORE CHRISTMAS

Hi Everyone

I hope Monday has been kind to you.

It has been a wet and very dull day here .. .. but only dull outside .. .. not inside.  Life is never dull in the House of Hearts.  There is always so much happening.

I managed a Christmas make amongst everything else .. .. ..




This used:

Memory Box Dies:  "98680" Grand Merry Christmas and "98257" Modern Landscape Border
Sentiment:  Computer Generated using font "2 Peas Barefoot Professor"
X-Cut Palm Punch:  Small Snowflake
Josy Rose:  Nail Heads
Nestabilities:  Oval and Scalloped Oval
Glamour Dust
My Trusty Sewing Machine
Ribbon from my Stash Box

I backed the word "Christmas" with ribbon instead of paper this time round .. .. I quite like the look.

and that is me for today.

Catch you again tomorrow.

Love

Good morning Jules,
Great card, love how you have used the Merry Christmas Die. Super design, the "hearts" make perfect little birds!!!
I have the Merry Christmas Die, I am never that happy with how I use it. Might give this idea a go
Not much time for crafting this week I have the boys till Thursday, doing a card class this morning, working in the Tearoom Friday.
How did all that happen in the same week?????
Have a great day

Another fabulous use of this die and it looks absolutely stunning.
To be honest I wish you hadn't bought this die as you are showing me up. lol.
Now, and I am not asking for a comment or praise but if you have the time to look at my latest effort for LCI you will see that it is to use kraft card and maybe you could enter this card, but you will see my change of attitude to kraft card so I would like to know where you got yours from because it looks to be the same as the stuff I have used and S.T. have none left and I think I would like to buy some more.
