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.

HAPPY EVERYTHING!

Hi Everyone

I hope you have had a good day today .. .. it has been a scorcher here.

Even with all the windows open there was not even a hint of a breeze!

No room was any cooler than another so I had a good crafty clear-up in my little craft pod and then worked on this little share:




This used:

Sentiment:  Elzybells (sadly no longer trading) 
Backing Papers:  First Edition Papers "Desert Blooms"
Dies:  My Favorite Things:  Blueprints 14
Clear Embossing Powder
Distress Inks:  Victorian Velvet and Dusty Concord
Button Twine, Lace and Ribbon from My Crafty Stash Box
Embossing Board for embossing background card
My Trusty Sewing Machine

The dark card is actually a lovely aubergine colour .. .. but my camera just doesn't seem to like it as much as I do and is trying to change it!!  LOL!!

I'll catch you again tomorrow with my snippets.  They have all been re-arranged today so I know exactly what I have (and how many too .. .. eeekkk!!).

Love

Oh how lovely Jules! A beautiful card - despite your naughty camera trying to change the aubergine :)

Gosh it's been hot here today too - I chose to do some heavy cleaning earlier on around midday and almost keeled over with the heat. Not a breath of fresh air - the washing just sat on the line and baked dry! Now I have to fluff the towels up for 10 minutes on cool in the dryer but that can wait until the morning.

All is well in the Playground, Spike is kicking his food dish around and even though I can peek at home through the window he sure as anything ain't in the mood to pose for photos :)

Hugs, Di xx

Great card, Jules. I remember Elzybells and have lots of their cute stamps. Didn't the owner/illustrator go on to work for one of the larger stamp companies??? Have a good Sunday, Jo x
