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.

LOLA ROSE IS RETIRING (AND SHE DOESN'T LOOK OLD ENOUGH)

Hi Everyone

Happy Monday!!!

Hubby was back at work today after his break and I have dropped back into my old routine as if we never even had a Christmas.  Certainly the 6.00am alarm was a bit of a shock to the system.  

Tonight's share is using up some of an old paper stack. I love the colours in it.




This used:

Image:  Pink Petticoat "Lola Rose Big Birthday Wishes" (it just took me ages to find this image over at Pink Petticoat and I was shocked to see that it is being retired along with lots of other images).  Best check there aren't any I "need" before they disappear!!!  Eeekkk!!
Sentiment: Pink Petticoat "Tiny Celebration Sentiments" .. .. which was stamped with the plain label from the LOTV Christmas Tag set.
Backing Papers:  DCWV "Latte Stack"
Martha Stewart Punch:   Traditional Scallop
Woodware Punches:  Daisy
Josy Rose:  Nail Heads
ProMarkers
Glamour Dust
Ribbon, Brad and Eyelet from the Stash Box

and that is me for today.

Must go and check out those retiring Pink Petticoat images now before I regret it.

Love

Good morning Jules,
Once again another fantastic card. Great papers, image beautifully coloured and brilliant design.
Found the "heart" I did think you were teasing us again and it was her "laces"
Have a Great Day

Oh Jules I love this card the colours are lush!

I bought the Quick Cards magazine yesterday and I had to laugh as I saw that someone asked a question about how to get Stickles straight! Now you didn't tell the whole story did you!!! LOL!!

Hope that you have a fab day xx.

I know that feeling, Jules, it was the same here today. Still it was nice to recharge batteries and I think we have all gone back to the old routine with a spring in our step... not sure it'll last very long but here's hoping.
Love your card, her bendy legs under the weight of that cake are a scream.
Hugs Lisax
