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.

MONDAY'S MALE

Hi Everyone

Happy Monday!

Bright and early again for me today.

I am trying a new routine here in the House of  Hearts in an attempt to get more of my creations onto my blog.  After all it isn't as if I am not making things .. .. they just don't seem to make it to my blog.

Probably the mistake I have been making is to dive head first into my "crafty do list" and then run out of time at the end of the day to actually post anything.  So perhaps I should turn things on their head and post first!!  Sounds like a good plan but we will see how it goes LOL!!

Today's card is one for the boys




This used:

Image:  Lili of the Valley "Super Striker"
Sentiment:  Die-Versions Corner Concepts Die "Happy Birthday"
Backing Papers:  Pink Petticoat (sadly the boutique is now closed .. boo hoo!!)
Nestabilities:  Squares
X-Cut Corner Rounding Punch
ProMarkers
Diamond Stickles
Ribbon from my crafty stash box

and it would appear that I gave a few people a bit of torture treatment on Friday.. .. so just to put you out of your misery this is where the heart was:


in the bottom right hand corner.

So that is me for today folks .. .. .. see you tomorrow!

Have a good day.

Love

Super card Jules! Fresh and perfect as always. I've had that same corner sentiment die in the Playground toy box for months now. Need to get mine out ASAP and get a snippets card made ready for a future week in the Playground :-)

Spotted today's sneaky heart!

Hugs
