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.

PENNY BLACK SATURDAY

Hi Everyone

I hope you have had a good day.

Mine has disappeared .. .. like my week has .. .. in the blink of an eye!!!

My stamps arrived from the lovely Clair yesterday  -  and I love them.

I am not putting them away until I have used them all . . . . I treated myself to six altogether and today uses stamp 1 of 6.  Those who guessed what I would buy knew I would probably have this one LOL!!!  Lots of my stamps have been bought second hand.  It doesn't bother me that they have been pre-loved .. .. it stretches my crafty pennies further.

Anyway, the theme over at Penny Black Saturday this month is "new" .. .. now I know this isn't a brand new stamp .. .. but it is new to me .. .. so I hope it counts for my entry.

Here is my card:




This used:

Image:  Penny Black "1729K" Just Buzzin By!
Sentiment:  Pink Petticoat "Tiny Blooming Sentiments"
Backing Papers:  Pink Petticoat "Isabelline"
Martha Stewart Edge Punch:  Daisy
X-Cut Punch Flowers
Josy Rose:  Nail Heads
ProMarkers
Ribbon

and that is me for today.

Catch you soon

Love

Gorgeous card Jules, adorable image and I love the papers and beautiful sentiment.
I think it's nice to give stamps a new home, I have found lots of bargains at car boot sales and charity shops too.
